Mee Udang Juru / Kuala Juru

Meh nak cerita kat korang pasal mee udang juru pulak. This is one of the recommended place to eat mee udang in the North.


A friend of mine who gave the direction to this restaurant told me that there are 2 stalls that is famous in Juru. The first one is slightly more expensive (and less tasty) compared to the second one. But unfortunately, the second one is closed on the day that I went there (31/10/10).


By the time hubby and I reached the restaurant, it was already 6.30pm and the place is packed! parking penuh and tables are fully occupied. So we double parked our car, and decided to tapau instead (since still kenyang from our late lunch)


The price of the mee udang is fixed at RM10 sebungkus, unlike the mee udang Sg Dua which is based on harga udang. (Kedai kedua yang tutup tu, harga dia RM6/RM7 sebungkus.. bezakan!!)


So we had the mee udang once we reached KL at about 11pm.




Nampak sedap kan? Tapi tak sedap sebenarnya. Bak kata hubby "tak sedap langsung, lagi sedap maggi yang awak masak"... funny! Tapi seriously, memang tak sedap. Tak berbaloi. And you have to make extra effort to get to the restaurant since you will have to divert quite far from the highway. Kalau sedap tak pe la kan.. haih..


Yang mee udang Sg Dua tu, dah la sedap gile, nak pegi pun senang, very near to the highway. Takyah divert jauh sangat


This is the picture with out flash.. hehehe..


The only plus point is the prawns is huge and banyak. 4 ekor dalam satu bungkus mee udang. And of course, it is very2 fresh too...

Mee Udang Sungai Dua

Siapa suka makan mee udang? heck!!..... let me rephrase, siapa suka MAKAN???? hehehehe.. *saya*

I lurve food. Especially good food. I can extra miles and put on extra effort just to search for good food. (looking at my weight, I should be saying the other way around!)

So last week, on our way back from hubby's hometown nun jauh di Utara, we decided to singgah sebentar at one of the famous mee udang stall in the north, i.e.; Mee Udang Sg Dua.

There are 2 popular mee udang restaurant in Sg Dua. One is on the left (before flyover), and the other one is on the right (after flyover). Hubby and I decided to go to the first one. The name of the restaurant is Restoran Aur Gading.

This is ht inside look of the Restaurant. Blom ramai orang, probably because it is still early. Plenty of seats, and the parking space are ample too.. very convenient.

Hubby and I ordered mee udang for 2, and Fresh Orange for hubby, and my ol'time favorite drinks, teh-o-ice limau (sangat typical melayu.. hehe)

Ni gambar air (duh!)... air di sini agak manis.. tapi teh-o-ice-limau sangat sedap. When I look around, I see most of the people minum air kelapa. Baru la stylo kan.. kitorang ni macam gi mamak pulak.. hahaha

This is the mee udang. Serving for 2. At first hubby and I tought how the heck are we supposed to finish the whole thing. Sangat la banyak. Tapi ternyata kami silap. After 15 minutes......

Licin! habis semua kuah kami hirup. So you know the verdict. It is so delicous. Kuah sangat pekat, pedas, and terasa la semua rempah2. And most importantly, you can taste the prawn-ness in the gravy. SEDAP! and puas.

Look at the size of the prawn. Huge and it is very fresh. I think there are about 6 pcs of prawn (3pcs per person).

Now, you must be thinking this mee udang must be expensive. Yes, it is kinda expensive, but it is definitely worth it considering the quality and satisfaction that you got from every bit, or sip.

Total that we paid is RM37.90. About RM19 per pax (inclusive of drinks). The concept here is they will weigh the prawn (you get to choose the prawn and the quantity) and plus the mee udang cost (our prawn weigh about 375grams).

Must go, must try, please try, or else you will regret it for the rest of your life! hehehe

Next I want to try the mee udang in Taiping. Korang pernah try tak? best tak? ke kat KL ni pun ada je mee udang yang best? letme know...
