Remembering the 2004 Tsunami Victims

Dataran Tsunami is a commemorative tourist attraction that was built to pay tribute to the victims of the tsunami that took place in December 2004. The epicenter of the deadly 9.0 magnitude quake was located in the Indian Ocean, just off the west coast of Sumatra. Several items and memorabilia from the disaster are currently being displayed at the Tsunami Gallery located just opposite this eatery.

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!

The prices of the Mee Udang at Selera Dataran Tsunami are as follows:
  • Mee Udang Kosong RM4
  • Mee Udang Lenang RM8
  • Mee Udang Beralun RM11
  • Mee Udang Kelocak RM15
  • Mee Udang Tsunami RM18

A refreshing complement to the Mee Udang is a fresh young coconut. You also can't go wrong with a glass of iced rose-flavored drink known locally as sirap. To keep things fun and merry, try Ais Batu Campur or ABC - a big bowl of shaved ice topped with colorful jellies, kidney beans, sweet corn, peanuts, and drenched in evaporated milk and red sugar syrup.

Fancy something other than the Mee Udang? Selera Dataran Tsunami also rustles up other equally popular local dishes such as Laksa (RM3.50), Udang Laut Solo (RM10/set), Laksam Kedah (RM4), Set Bawal Goreng (RM10), Gulai and many more!
