Green House Prawn Mee Corner — Restaurant in George Town

Terrible experience today at green house prawn noodle. Ordered hokkien meehoon around 1.15am. There was a man who ordered for a small group of people around 2 other people. I know I have to wait for some time for my order to be ready, this I do not mind but when the noodles finally arrive I thought it was mine but it was for the other people who ordered after me. From what I heard when the lady who brought the food with the man of the small group because suddenly short of bowls to serve my table and the other table, turned out that small group took my food because they wanted to order extra and did not bother to even inform that they are taking an extra bowl. The owners of this shop is not fully to be blamed on this as it was rude of that group to just take people's food because they do not want to wait, but the owners should actually check the number of orders for each table.. If not because of the customers who ordered after me, I will be waiting there until the shop close and food not arrive and that group of people will get the extra bowl for free (taking food that other poeple paid for) . If that group of people read this comment, pls know that it is very inconsiderate and selfish of you to have done that.

The reason that I am angry and disappointed with the owners is when they were preparing for my bowl again they could not be bothered and irresponsibly prepared my food because they wanted to close the shop, my meehoon was not even cook together with the soup, I felt that they just scooped the soup then put the ingredients and then the meehoon. The meehoon in my bowl was hard, taken from counter/table top and dumped into a bowl of soup! The owners of the shop are not bothered that customers might get food poisoning if their food are not cooked properly.

I am never going there again, there are other food outlets open at...

The first thing that struck me was the umami. The soup is heavy with umami, thereafter, you will start appreciating the saltiness and spices. The bonus is that the soup will come boiling tongue hot, so, be careful with your first sip.

I ordered the standard bowl and it will come with pretty generous small prawns, with half piece of braised booked egg, taugeh. You can personally add more chilli if you see fit, dried fried shallots and garlic (at the stall). As a whole, I found this bowl delicious, appetizing and definitely one of the best in penang island. You won't go wrong trying the noodle here. As with all noodles, you can turbo charge it with additional small intestine, pigskin, chicken leg, etc, etc, etc.

A small note, green house prawn mee actually has 2 'branches'. Both located along the same road (Burma road) nearly 1km apart. The one I ate was at a Kopitiam called old green house restaurant, which according to the proprieter, is the original, and has been in existence for over 30 years. I actually came to this place accidentally. But in hindsight this is probably the better choice because you have a few other stalls with good food to complement your hokkien mee. From the reviews I read regarding their other stand alone restaurant corner, seating is limited and are usually full, and you may end up needing to eat at a different location from the ordering location. Granted they are closeby but still, pretty strange.

In summary, an incredible bowl of umami heavy hokkien mee which I would suggest you try at their stall branch located at...

I randomly pass by this shop one day. Ard 5pm@26march2023. After making order. The counter display the menu in beautiful picture & they put big2 logo michelin 1 star. Upon food arriving.
