There is a popular hawker center at Lebuh Presgrave (三条路), next to the intersection with Lebuh Mcnair. Actually, the place is a combination of several coffee shops in a row.
Lebuh Presgrave 888 Hokkien Mee (三条路888福建面) is the most popular stall here. Very often, there is a long queue in front of this stall. Due to lack of manpower, customers are required to place orders and collect food from the stall directly.
By default, Hokkien Prawn Mee (福建虾面, RM4.30) is served with a mixture of yellow noodle (黄面) and rice vermicelli (米粉). Extra noodle costs RM1.00 more. The spicy soup is stewed from pork bones, making it very rich in savory flavors. I enjoyed the soup to the very last drop.
The bowl of Hokkien Prawn Mee also contains pork slices (猪肉片), roasted pork (烧肉), shrimps, boiled egg and bean sprouts (豆芽). Fried onion serves to improve aroma and flavor. Should you prefer spicier taste, there is also a spoonful of chili paste to be mixed in the soup.
888 Hokkien Mee has another outlet at Bayan Baru. It is located within a short distance from Sunshine Square.
