Food Menu & Price

The signature dish at Selera Dataran Tsunami is its Mee Udang. Each plate is prepared using a handful of boiled noodles (choice of yellow mee, maggi, kuey teow or bihun) - dunked in a thick potato puree that has been cooked in a rich prawn broth base. The paste is traditionally made by boiling prawn shells, prawn heads and pounded dried prawns until a sweet glorious elixir is concocted. Other ingredients include onion, garlic, turmeric, lemongrass and fresh chili paste.

The result? A gravy bearing addictive, irresistible seafood flavors. It is spicy, sweet, salty and smooth at the same time with a heavenly sauce-like consistency. The dish is served with half a hard-boiled egg, two medium-sized prawns, slices of red chilies, vegetables and fried shallots. To elevate the taste further, simply give the dish a squeeze of lime!
