SimpleGirl´s last blog post..Overseas Restaurant – Chinese Fine Dining?!
Tau Sar Phneah – I know you can’t wait to try out all the food when you land this coming week. At the meantime, just drool over the pic…haha
New Kid On The Blog – We, Penangites are very lucky to be able to eat so many tasty food.
Food Paradise – You should give it a try…many ingredients to choose from.
Duckie – Same over here
Simple Girl – All the meat are left to boil in the soup…I guess that’s why it is tasty…
Just looking at the shade of the soup is a sure sign that this is not your ordinary Hokkien Mee! Tried it once before, really need to go back soon!
550ml jar of faith´s last blog post..Kimchi fried rice, above Mid Valley mediocrity!
I dun like yellow noodles, but ONLY like them in Prawn Mee/Hokkien Mee broth.
somehow Pg’s version is that much sweeter and flavourful.

Eve´s last blog post..Vintage Bulgaria @ Hillside Part 2
550ml jar of faith – The soup itself is not that spicy to me…I like it with an added spoonful of chili paste.
J2kfm – For Hokkien Mee, best to eat with yellow mee but my son goes for the beehoon.
Selba – Many people also go for the siew bak.
Pureglutton – Must give it a try if you can.
Eve – Maybe can see you there one day.
This is too wonderful, CK! Love that you’re going to all the hole-in-the-wall places and showing us what gems they are.

i’ve been their regular customer (both hokkien mee n ice kacang) since i was a kid..
besides, the wantan mee(stall located next to ice kacang and the fried chicken (stall located opp of the road) are yummy too!!
Wah! I love the pork knuckles and the skin. Sinful but irresistable….

Sar Tiau Lor Hokkien Mee seller has a sister/aunt selling Hokkien Mee at the Hawkers Centre (beside Evergreen Barber), opposite Lam Wah Ee (Ee in Hokkien already means Hospital). This stall is also equally excellent.
Lam Wah Ee Hokkien Mee is located beside the Salted Porridge (Kiam Moy) Stall at the small entrance, and opposite the Curry Mee Stall PTP referred to in his Greenlane Curry Mee Blog. It is inside the same hawker centre. The woman cook is called Ah Poh.
You must eat Hokkien Mee boiling hot, topped up with some chilli oil and suan-leong-chor (burnt garlic vinegar) even though it is NOT LOR MEE. Normally, people take Lor Mee with suan-leong-chor.
My wife and I could possibly be the only ones taking soup-mee with suan-leong-chor.
A bit of history; the above mee sellers were disciples (also nephew and niece) of the famed Lee Chooi Kee Hokkien Mee at the old Sia-Boey-Market/Magazine-Road corner some half a century ago.
A son of Lee Chooi Kee is still selling Hokkien Mee at Cecil Street Hawker Centre, a short walk from the Char Sio Sellers at the market. However, the standard has dropped terribly, albeit he is still hanging the father name-board on the vehicle/tricycle.
Today, I would consider the best Hokkien Mee is found at Stall No.6 of the Batu Lancang Hawker Centre (opposite Olympia College). As said, you must take it with some chilli oil and suan-leong chor.
The above hawkers would understand and would not laugh if you take suan-leong-chor with soup hokkien mee. Most likely they would start counting the statistics of connoisseurs… an increase from 2 pax… hahaha
At Pontian Johor, a Hokkien Mee Seller snubbed at me for asking suan-leong-chor. He said nobody took Hokkien Mee that way.
I asked him how long had he been selling. He said three years.
Well, I took Hokkien Mee everyday since 1955, and sold Hokkien Mee from 1963-1971. Do I have a locus standi to to take it with suan-leong-chor?… hahaha
Jane Lee – Glad you find it interesting
Jian – I am standing with you on this pork knuckle…sure is Chun!
Charmaine – Will try out the fried chicken!
Sweet Jasmine – It is indeed irresistable for anyone that likes eating this part of the meat.
Penang Tionghua – Nice of you dropping by my blog and thanks for sharing the info.
I had this few days ago, didn’t know that the add on pork knuckle is good. Miss it ler…
allie´s last blog post..Penang Hawker Food | Self Made Wan Tan Mee @ Thong Kee
CK, you have to try the hockkien mee stall inside Kong Bee Lee Coffeeshop at Burma Rd (Pulau Tikus). The opposite of this shop is Bangkok Lane/Burma Rd junction (the popular Indian fried mee coffeeshop). After trying, share your reviews.
Look at that siew bak man!!!! At this hour my saliva also cant control!!! CK go try the hokkien mee opposite Padang! You will love that one but make sure you go there bfore 9.30am!
Tiger (20) – Yes, the Hokkien Mee is excellent. One of the best in Penang.
Tan (21) – As a person who loves Hokkien Mee very much, I would say the Classic Hokkien mee soup is likened to sugar water. Hokkien Mee in this pattern is not found in my syllabus.
In the 70s, Colonel Sanders commented that KFC soup (not available in Malaysia) at Texas tasted like drain water. The court ruled in his favour because he had a locus standi, being the founder of KFC.
pork bones and meat definitely sets a nice tone to the broth. it’s also kinda famous in singapore. love it with a dollop of chilli paste. yummy!
Allie – Give it a try another day…maybe you will like it.
Tiger – Very kind of you to share this place in Burma Road…will sure to try it out
Tan – I will go there but only can make it on weekends…thanks!
Nic (KHKL) – You are right. A good bowl of Hokkien Mee lies in the soup.
Gosh the pork knuckles are huge! And I am drooling over the roasted pork!

iamthewitch´s last blog post..Manhattan Fish Market and Pet Safari
This dish carries a heavy weight cholesterol and this what is taste so good !
Can’t resist the temptation of the roast pork drenching in the soup.
email2me´s last blog post..Kiew Brothers (Boxing Chicken Dried Meat) at Petaling Street
Haha tak sangka food like hokkien mee can generate this much comment.
There is also another good hokkien mee stall directly opposite Perak Road market, not the one facing the Perak Road main road. It’s not a coffeshop but there are people selling drinks with char koay teow and some noodles. Only the CKT and Hokkien mee is good. hehe
Jian´s last blog post..Bao Teh Fruit
I like their Cendol with peanut ice-cream. You need to tell them if you want ice-cream. So, I normally have a bowl of hokien lor from this stall.
But for hokien lor, I prefer the ‘green house’ one.
Btw, in front of the corner kopitiam two doors away, there is a mobile stall selling BBQ things. I like the BBQ meat ball and chicken feet.
soo sean´s last blog post..home-cooked-ecstasy
Iamthewitch – both are just as good.
Email2me – can sama-sama go and makan on your next Penang trip.
Jian – Will try to find out the place. Thanks for sharing
Soo Sean – I used to take ice kacang with ice-cream but never tasted cendol with it. Sounds good. Wow…I must try the chicken feet and bbq meatball too.
I still prefer the simple Hokkien Mee without those add-ons. The siew bak is my hubby’s favourite. Will try it out next time.
lk´s last blog post..Rainbow seafood pasta salad
seiw bak in hockkien mee,wah!!!! my favourite and I must try the cendol + ice kacang, yummmmm………..
This is a must-go place for this CNY holidays when I am back in Penang!
Chin´s last blog post..De Pastry Chef, Medan Putra, Bandar Menjalara, Kepong
Wow! When did you visit them? I was there again last Sunday. The lady (in specs) was joking with me that she would become an actress soon at the rate we floggers had been taking her photos so often… haha.
Anyway, this stall is one of the great ones around Penang. I love mine served with HM soup mixed with some Lor (starch).
p/s: The address is 67A Lebuh Presgrave, 10300 Penang if you want to update on your contact.
Another good one would be selling outside a coffee shop at Gat Lebuh Presgrave corner coffee shop. Disadvantage… no photography allowed inside the coffee shop. SG & I had the bad experience there with the coffee shop owner. But… you can always shoot outside the dimly lighted dining tables area just next to the stall. Good Luck!
lk – Let me know, maybe we can go together.
Mark – Do try the tu kar bak also.
Chin – Nice to have some hawker food besides all the goodies.
Alice – Maybe just have one piece each.
Criz Lai – Will add in the address…thanks for providing it and sharing the other outlet
.
Presgrave street.. i never heard of that yet..ok, i better ask my local fren in pg.. this time if i go , i will not come back to ipoh till i tasted that .. haha..
claire´s last blog post..The Oldies and Still Goldies (I hope)
I will try it next time around there.
Sg Prawn mee had a medium to large size of prawn, fish cake compare to Pg version of a dried shrimp. However, you can also asked for pork ribs added in. Some stalls even had crayfish, lobster and crab from S$5-10 per bowl. Sg does not supply the garlic juice which Pg provide in lor mee, that’s because Sg do not sell lor mee in the same stall like Pg. Even then, Sg lor mee only give chopped fresh garlic and do not juice them with vinegar.
Tasted it many times, and is delicious… yum yum
Tend not to add the chili paste as it will make it too spicy, cannot taste the nice soup. Never tried with pork knuckle before, will go try soon
. One funny thing is they do not allow to add extra prawns, with comment of not having enough, even though i can see they have a few huge bowls of it. Maybe saving it so that can make more hokkien mee and can earn more, rather earning less by giving ppl ‘kar liao’
Another good place for Hokkien Mee is at Sg Tiram foodcourt/coffee shop at Bayan Lepas area. It’s opposite the famous ‘roti bakar’ coffee shop. The Hokkien mee only sells in the morning, and the whole place only have a few stalls. But the portion is generous, comparatively cheaper and not a whole lot of crowd. At night, the same place serves a good Tomyam/Fried Fish meat mee (the outside stall).
this place isn’t there anymore. does anyone know if it closed down or moved somewhere? a real shame because its awesome
hi there..
Any idea where in Penang I can have a great tasty Lamb / Mutton stew?
I can’t find it any where here.
Many thks.
