Heh chien (prawn version of oh chien) – Best recipes, foods and travel

Heh chien (prawn version of oh chien)

It was the most delightful discovery. I had eaten heh chien in Taiping before and always wondered why our local Penang hawkers never sell this.

Then, few nights ago, I got really hungry and was passing through Jalan Air Itam, where Boundary Road branched out and found this coffee shop. I am not sure of the name though.

This stall sells Heh Chien along with Oh Chien. Fantastic. It tastes better than the version I had in Taiping. It has some spices like coriander and maybe some tumeric. So, the flavour is just right.

I like the sambal that comes with the heh chien plus the kaffir lime. It is really, really good. The next time I have a chance to go again, I shall share the exact location, ok?

    Can advice me how to get rid of the after effect of petai? I love this food but the smell is really disgusting for non-petai lovers.
