Penang Hawker Food – Hakka Beef Ball Noodles

Posted by: CK Lam in Beef Noodle, Georgetown, Hawker, Penang

In Penang, beef noodles are very hard to come by. There are only a handful of stalls selling beef noodles compare to other hawker food. For us, our regular joint is the stall at Beach/Chulia intersection.

Besides beef noodle, we also like this Hakka style beef ball noodle. From what we gather, this is the only stall selling this delicious noodle in town. The bowl of dried noodle is topped up with stewed minced beef cooked in dark soya sauce. Additional items of spring roll and bean curd can be added too. We usually go for the dried koay teow and loh sui fan.

The dried noodle comes with a bowl of clear soup with ten springy beef balls and plenty of fresh parsley. The soup tasted superbly good with an added dash of pepper.

This delicious bowl of beef ball noodle cost RM4 and is only available from this stall for breakfast till lunch at Hoe Ping coffee shop located at Penang Road/Kampung Malabar. Try to be there early because the additional items are sold out pretty fast. This coffee shop offers two more yummy hawker food, lobak (available for the whole day) and bak moi (only at night).

[...] Another popular food there is the Beef Meat/Ball Noodles. If you order the dried noodles, a bowl of soup with beef balls will be served together. The dried noodles is topped with minced beef meat and look very appetizing (sorry no photo of the noodles as my uncle started eating straight-away, no chance for me to snap!!)
