Misai Mee Jawa menu highlights
Step into Misai Mee Jawa, a celebrated roadside eatery in Butterworth, Malaysia, renowned for its authentic Malaysian street food that has earned a spot in the Michelin Guide 2024.

Starters and light bites

Another beloved main is the Fried Kuey Teow, featuring flat rice noodles stir-fried with egg, bean sprouts, chives, garlic, and a savory blend of soy sauce, prawns, and chicken — a satisfying option that captures the essence of Malaysian hawker fare.
