It was formerly known as Port Weld which was named after the governor Federick Weld.

Besides that, Kuala Sepetang is a rural village in Taiping, Perak, which is well known as a must-go place if you are craving for Mee Udang (prawn noodles).

"Mee Udang Mak Jah" (Mak Jah’s Prawn Noodles)- one of the famous prawn noodles stalls Kuala Sepetang. 

It is a 2 hours drive from Kampar, Perak to Kuala Sepetang. 
You can easily notice the location of Mak Jah Mee Udang thanks to the signboard when you are about to approach Kuala Sepetang. 
If you are worried if the prawn is what drives you away from feasting yourself a big bowl of prawn noodles, you have come to the right place!

Mee udang special with big prawns for RM 11!

11 unfortunate prawns that later got stuffed into my rumbling stomach.

Yes, I did count them one by one !

It is absolutely irresistable by when you first give a try on the soup.
Its level of spice is acceptable.
The shrimps are bouncy in texture and are well cooked to retain its freshness, and it's where the essence of the soup is from.

My stomach can't help rumbling of the shrimps! 

Look at that thick gravy. It is fantastic!

You wonder if you need to remove the shell? 
No, you can eat the whole prawn with the shell intact!
