Auntie Lora Kopitiam

Saved this spot after seeing it featured on HOCHIAK, but here’s my take after trying a few dishes: 1. Lam Mee – 4/10 This version of Lam Mee felt more like a Penang-style Loh Mee with its dark, starchy gravy... not the clear soup version some might expect. Unfortunately, the flavor didn’t quite hit the mark for me. A bit bland and lacking depth. 2. Prawn Mee – 5/10 The soup had some prawn flavor, which was a plus, but it wasn’t rich or layered enough to make a lasting impression. Just about average overall. 3. Laksa – 5/10 This was actually HOCHIAK-recommended, but to me, it felt quite ordinary. The soup had a light spiciness but didn’t carry the bold, tangy punch that defines a really good laksa. 4. Cham Ice – 6/10 The Cham (coffee + tea mix) was okay—pleasant and drinkable, with a decent balance of flavors. The best item out of what I tried. --- Will I Return? Unlikely. It didn’t quite live up to the expectations set by the show. --- ⚠️ Disclaimer: This review is based purely on personal taste and experience.

Their signature noodles is prawn mee. It wasn’t the best prawn mee in town but taste is above average. Other than noodles we ordered braised pork rice, pork was braised tender and delicious. Their meat ball is good also. Staff is attentive and friendly. Beverage served is nutmeg drink which is hard to find in KL. I will try their curry noodles next time

The standards seem to have dropped significantly. Curry noodles - the curry soup tasted different from previous version. It has a curry powder taste and more “Indian” flavors in it now . Pork blood also shrinks in size . Cockle also cannot find . Main thing is the curry - so disappointing. Prawn mee - portion size seem to have reduced and the soup isn’t as strong as previous version. Service - the counter service wasn’t as pleasant. The counter person never smile and we paid as if we own them millions hahaha. So different from my previous experience with this place. Overall , standards has dropped and pricing also “dropped “ Disappointing

Unfortunately, the prawn noodles didn’t hit the mark. The broth lacked depth, so I wouldn’t recommend it. The standout, however, was the iced white coffee.

For the price, I expected a more generous amount of noodle and better umami soup. Perhaps if the price is lower then my expectations would commensurate with the taste. In all honesty, is not bad but is just slightly above average compared most prawn noodle. On side note, the lady boss is friendly. There are definitely better prawn mee. Go if you are a big fan of prawn mee noodle

Not recommended. As a speciality shop, their food can't even come close to those sold at Kopitiam. The Prawn Noodles (their signature) was just tasteless. I don't go around giving 1 star reviews, but I think this deserves and hopefully they take note. Anyway, we told the lady boss when we left. The Vinegar Pork and the Mee Jawa also fell in the same fate. Taste wise very average. Hopefully they'll look into it and no, not patronising again.

Penang hokkien mee or prawn mee. Can add on pork ribs too. Price is on the high side but understood that they cook from scratch using prawn head for the soup instead of using flavourful enhancement.

A coffee shop setting in Taman Bukit Segar (near to Leisure Mall). Accept e-wallet payments as shown in the attacghed photos. Looks like they have good coverage from HK celebrities, Although their menu has many other signatures, but we ordered their prawn noodles and assam laksa, since these 2 signatures has the most pictures around the shop. Prawn Noodle - Soup wise is full body with prawn taste and aroma, but not the best that we have tried. Just missing something that we cannot point out. Noodles - as we called beehoon mee, the mee is just ok but the beehoon is rough and hard. Likely they did not soak it in water long enough. As for the amount of ingredients e.g. fish cake, prawns etc, it is subjective. We leave it to your own judgement based on the photo provided. However, the ingredients is fresh. Assam Laksa - Soup wise, well balance and not too sour. However there are no visible chunks of fish meat found in the soup. Overall for soup. they are still far from matching the benchmark of Kek Lok See Assam Laksa. As for the amount of salad provided, too little. The noodle is ok. Verdict: Unless we are in the vicinity of Leisure Mall and hungry, we will drop by Auntie Lora. We will definitely not purposely travel to Cheras from Subang for Auntie Lora's prawn mee and assam laksa.

They are famous for their Prawn Noodles with Pork Ribs (RM19.8) which was a pretty big chunk to bite, however it was not tender. I thought it was hard to chew. The broth/soup was not bad, it was flavorful but not as rich as I would have liked. We wanted to try their Pork Trotters but it was sold out so we got their Braised Pork (RM9) instead. This was delicious, tender and juicy. I prefer my pork to have more fat but this had more lean meat and they were also generous with the amount of pork served. Next, we got their Assam Laksa, (RM9.9) which was sweet and sour but they only gave a very small amount of fish. In comparison to the photos on the wall, it was not consistent. We also had their Penang Jawa Noodle (RM9.9) which was served with lime. It was not flavorful, I found it flat, watered down and the fried beancurd was not crispy or crunchy. Overall, I have definitely tasted wayyyy better traditional prawn noodles. It is a decent restaurant but this is on the pricier side which is not worth the money to pay as their quality needs improvement.

Lousy food. People who rate high dun even know what actual prawn mee taste like

I am a big fan of Prawn Mee and I know how to determine the best one. The one at Auntie Lora Kopitiam is one of the best. The noodle was perfect. Not dry like most other noodle joints and the flavor of the prawn was so rich. Plus, it quite generous with the fillings. All of that just inside a bowl of Prawn Mee. I don't have to describe about the curry. Just look at he photo and you will know how good it is.
