"Still the BEST mee udang!!! We have been the fans of Salwa Mee Udang since 30 years ago. Now is the second generation of Pakcik Azmin ~ the son who is the new chef in charge of the kitchen. Service is good, chef is very humble and friendly like Pakcik Azmin. Cool breeze and relaxing place by the beach. TERBAIK!!!!!!!!"

"Open from 12.30 PM - 8.30 PM (Closes on Monday & Tuesday). Great news for all Salwa Mee Udang OG fans. Just had our dinner there with my family yesterday. Pak cik Salwa's son has decided to reopened the shop after 4 years of leasing it to another operator. With the help of his father, the taste is more than 90% similar to the nostalgic taste we all know & love! Waiting time is around 10 mins and I ordered a RM 25 Mee Udang (medium). Definitely cost effective as we got served a good amount of noodles with 5 medium -sized prawns. The large set (comes with large prawns, RM 30/meal) was out of stock yesterday. Do come and relive your memories folks, it was a definitely a worthwhile trip from KL!"
