Curry Prawns at Lim Aik Chew- Nibong Tebal


A friend brought me to this place on Monday for lunch. We were on the way back from Damai Laut Resort and we stopped by at Nibong Tebal for some curry prawn feast.

I can't explain how to get there but I have the address as below at the end of this post. All I know is that the shop is located at a row of shop lots (papan houses) type near to a river.

My friend recommended their dried curry prawns to try. He wanted to order the Udang Galah ones (big head prawns) but the shop was out of it (apparently these prawns are less when it does not rain). So we had another type of prawns which were also huge in size. Ordered 1/2 a kilo of it and it costs us RM 35. Pretty alright in price.



Prawns came cooked in their signature dried curry style. Although the curry had a layer of red oil, the taste of the curry was intense and spicy. Quite good.

Since there's a lot of curry gravy you cannot waste on, you can also order some bread to dip together with the curry gravy. Bread was served all soft and hot (just steamed). Yummy yummy.



Besides prawns, they also have fish to serve. We ordered a Red Snapper steamed with garlic, soy sauce, tau chiong, and other goodies in it. It was good. Fish was very fresh.


Then we had also had some vegetable to complete our meal. They had only two choices of vegetable available that day, so we ordered the cabbage vegetable. When served, it did not look appetizing and as guessed it was not tasty at all.


I shall be back here again. Bought back a curry prawn dish for my parents to try out and they loved it. Well mum was suffering away as it was too spicy for her. But they enjoyed it. The left over of curry gravy, mum cooked up a fish curry dish. Guess nothing was wasted.
