Cathay Cafe Super Hokkien Mee
Prawn Mee, Street Food
- Under RM20 per pax
Chiefeater William WL Loo had the super hokkien mee at Cathay Cafe in Air Itam and loved the fat juicy prawns and intense chilli heat








Ipoh Hor Fun
The chicken hor fun soup was flavourful and comforting, and the prawn wonton skin was lovely and smooth. I also really appreciated the generous serving of chilli padi! The wonton portion itself was generous too, although I wish there was a little more filling in each one.
The only downside with the hor fun was that the soup was slightly too oily for my liking, with a visible layer of oil floating on top. A lighter broth would have made it even better.
For the dim sum, the otak-otak was definitely my favourite — quite unique and flavourful! I also enjoyed that most of the food was served nice and hot.
The kaya tart was good too, though it would have been even better served a little warmer.
The other dim sum dishes were fairly average for me, as the flavours didn’t stand out as much. The white coffee, however, was just right — not overly sweet, which I liked.
Overall, a decent and satisfying meal with generous portions. A few small improvements in the broth, wonton filling and serving temperature would make the experience even better.
