While many Kedahan travels to Pulau Sayak to enjoy the state's only beach and the magnificent sunset view, we purposely travel to this quieter area in Kota Kuala Muda to enjoy the Mee Udang here. Perhaps its close proximity to the sea and rivers, and Kota Kuala Muda being a fisherman's village as well, there are a few outlets selling Mee Udang by the roadside at Pulau Sayak. However, I was being told that Usop Mee Udang shone out among the others...
Usop Mee Udang is located at the end corner of Pulau Sayak, and you shall not miss its signboard if you follow the direction all the way to there. In fact, the eatery not only sells Mee Udang but they also offer options such as Nasi Goreng, Koay Teow Goreng, and crabs are available on seasonal basis.
A plate of Mee Udang with 5 medium sized prawns cost RM 11. If you are a prawn addict, then order Mee Udang Special instead for RM 14 and you will be served with more prawns.
People with the most discerning palate will enjoy the mee udang here. The soup packs a mild spicy and a very pleasant prawn scent, then with a lot of carrot slices within the soup. Bottled chili sauce is being used to top the prawns, yielding a slight sweet sensation to the tongue
This is one of the most strong scented mee udang and one of the best which we ever tried and inteded to come back again.
On a separate occasion, we went to Mee Udang Usop again to try their Mee Goreng Udang. While I enjoy their noodles were fried to wet style seasoned by dark soy sauce and possessed decent wok-hei (heat level), the combination between prawns and noodles just did not yield any storming factors. It appears to be a a plate of nicely fried noodles, then having few pieces of prawns for leisure enjoyment.
Besides, I was perplexed that only 2 pieces of prawns are served in the Mee Goreng Udang while on the previous occasion I had 5 pieces of prawns for their Mee Udang. An inconsistency? hmm..
