Kong kee restaurant for Tanjung Tualang prawns

Since we were in Tanjung Tualang we went hunting for a prawn lunch as my husband was quite impressed that  Kuan drove  us all the way from kL to TT for freshwater prawns with my sister and family, so it must be that good. 

Kampung Air Papan in Tanjung Tualang Town 

We spotted Kong  Kee;  it looks old and authentic and not so commercialized 



From its old black and white photos this shop has been around for some time !

Not crowded but it’s past 3 and many people go for newer shops. 


Theses are the ways prawns are served here and we chose steamed prawns. 


The prawns may have big heads but the flesh is dense and firm ..we had medium sized ones rm150 per kg and ours was 600 gms at rm51.



Steamed with ginger, garnished with scallions and there’s a hint of wine. 


We had prawns and nothing else, with rice and herbal tea 

Tan Ngan Lo or one eyed fella herbal tea in a bottle ! 

I have not seen or tasted this herbal tea before!! Only rm2.20



So of all the  plethora of prawn restaurants which would you try? Just don’t forget to stop for the famous freshwater tin mining prawns when you are in Ipoh heading for Tanjung Tualang !
