The story
At Green House Prawn Mee & Loh Mee on Jalan Burma, the star is an intensely flavoured Penang-style prawn mee. The broth—deep, spicy, and packed with umami—is the result of slow simmering, and it’s this bowl that earned the stall a Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2026, a recognition for good quality, good value cooking.
The signature prawn mee comes with small shrimp, but the real draw is the ability to tailor each bowl. Regulars add tender pork ribs, intestines, or a soft-boiled egg. The noodles, perfectly cooked, soak up the rich broth. For extra texture, many also order roasted pork, which adds a salty crunch that complements the soup. The loh mee (a thicker gravy version) gets mixed reviews, but the prawn mee remains the undisputed reason to visit.
The stall operates from 9:30 AM until 1:30 AM, making it a popular supper spot. Despite the crowds, the setup is efficient: order at the corner shop, then take a seat in one of the adjacent shoplots. The system keeps things orderly, and service is notably quick. It’s casual, no-frills dining—exactly what Penang street food is about. For a taste of authentic Penang-style prawn mee that delivers on flavour and value, this Bib Gourmand spot is a must.
