Some nice hawker style food at Lim Mee Yoke after MCO

The MCO or movement control order prevented us from having our local hawker food favourites. So after the restriction order was lifted or at least relAxed, we took the opportunity to re enjoy prawn mee soup and curry mee soup at the Restaurant Lim Mee Yoke at Petaling Jaya.




Prawn mee soup or locally known as 'Har mee' or 'Hokkien mee' in Penang, is a simple noodle served with hard boiled egg, prawns, slices of pork, fried onions, kale (kangkung) and bean sprouts (taugeh). A simple dish where the secret is in the prawn based soup. The soup must be savoury sweet, and this restaurant Lim Mee Yoke does not disappoint. The soup brings back nostalgic memories of my childhood in Penang.


Since we were cooped up for nearly 10 weeks, one bowl of Har Mee was not enough to satisfy. So we also ordered a bowl of curry mee. This is served with tofu puffs (taufu pok) that soaked up the tasty soup, prawns, bean sprouts, long beans and pig blood curd!! It is hard to find stalls that still serve pig blood curd in Petaling Jaya. So it was nice to see a curry mee with all the traditional servings.


Again the secret of success for this dish is the soup or rather broth, and there is no disappointment here. The coconut milk (santan) based broth is savoury with enough sweetness from the santan.

Their soup noodles (a variety) is also delicious, and worth a try.



Great dishes made complete with a cooling glass of iced coffee.


Always a good time at this restaurant. If you are near SS2, do drop by this restaurant. Its' address is as follows:
