Prawn mee, or colloquially known as Hokkien mee in Penang, is a spicy soup egg noodle dish, served with a spicy prawn stock. The broth is usually made with prawns shells and pork bone and is served with prawns, fish cakes, boiled egg, kangkung (morning glory) and sliced lean pork, garnished with fried shallots and a spoonful of sambal. This dish is also sometimes served with additional toppings including pork ribs, intestines and Chinese sausages.

The most important part of a good prawn mee is the stock, and this is where Old Green House excels at. The stock has an intense sweetness, yet fragrant with garlic and shallot oil. Old Green House also sells a reputable lor mee which is why their boiled eggs are braised as well, adding a nice sweet flavour. The prawns were small, and could easily been sized up, but didn't take away from the experience. When had with pork ribs, the dish is elevated to a very hearty experience. The stock here has such reputation that other prawn noodle shop buy the stock from them. A little costly but it's definitely worth it.
