The name "Tok Tok" originates from the onomatopoeic sound a chef makes while kneading noodle dough with a bamboo pole, a tradition still observed at the entrance of this establishment.
The taste of the wantan mee are almost the same as before despite the chewiness of the noodle not as much and the gravy is more starchy. As for the Char Hor Fun, the taste is packed with wok aroma.
Tok Tok Mee Noodle House, used to known as Hong Kee Wantan Noodle now is operate by the next generation where the legacy of bamboo noodle was passed down. The taste of the wantan mee are almost the same as before despite the chewiness of the noodle not as much and the gravy is more starchy. As for the Char Hor Fun, the taste is packed with wok aroma.
If you want a local Penang version of loh mee, you can visit Kim Leng Loh Mee at Restoran Joo Huat at Perak Road Penang.
1119 Curry Mee Stall at Joo Huat Cafe is one of the curry mee selling in Penang that served non-santan (no coconut milk) at their base. The taste of the curry mee is as good as those that have included santan and it is packed with nostalgic and classic flavor. The blood cockles are fresh and juicy, while the soup is thick and aromatic, and the chili paste is packed with pungent. Overall the curry mee is worth the taste
The pancake taste good, the outer layer of the pancake is crunchy and the ingredient inside it is good too, though simple but I like it.
Tasty savoury fragrant KL style wanton noodles with tasty plump wantons.
Polo Bun with Butter (菠萝油) – RM4.50, a very typical Hong Kong pastry. The top of the bun was covered with slightly sweet crust while the inner of the bun was stuffed with a piece of creamy butter. In Penang, it is so difficult to get Polo Butter Bun. That is the reason I came to this cafe to try out the bun. It is in fact one of their best-sellers and usually sold out by noon. The top crust was so nice and the bun was soft and warm. Having it with soft and creamy butter was simply satisfying. This bun is perfect when it is served warm.
For the menu, although I thought that the price is wallet-friendly but the choices are limited.
Air Itam Sister Curry Mee Chee Cheong Fun at Air Itam Penang Malaysia
The famous Sister Curry Mee was founded by two iconic sisters in Air Itam, Penang since 1946. They're now in their late 80s and the stall has been taken over by their grandniece. We're fortunate that the curry mee stall will continue to serve this iconic dish in its original recipe brought down from the sisters
The soup not really thick but it have the aromatic hint of coconut and curry blend in it. The bowl of curry mee is served with the noodles, cuttle fish, coagulated pig blood and tauhu-pok and the curry paste. Indulge this sinfully addictive bowl of curry noodles and you will totally in love with them.
Pitt Street Koay Teow Thng is one of the famous Koay Teow Thng in Penang that has been around for 60years. The original location of this Koay Teow Thng was at Pitt Street. It was moved to the new location at Carnarvon Street a few years back. One of the Specialists of this shop is the fish balls that are made of Eel Fish and the fish balls are homemade. Pitt Street Koay Teow Thng also selling Char Koay Teow now and the taste is promising too.
Koay Teow Th'ng is flat rice noodles, served in soup. It is topped with their homemade Eel Fishballs, pork meat that has been minced and flattened, and we were surprised to find some golden deep-fried Pork Lards in the bowl as well. The noodles were silky smooth, every ingredient is in perfect harmony. The Eel fishball though has a slightly different texture than the usual fishball bounciness, we can taste the delicate sweetness of the eel itself. It is definitely a hearty bowl of delicious Koay Teow Th'ng!
The broth was out of this world. Subtly rich with the extract from the bones.
Overall, we highly recommend the Assam laksa here, as it was our favourite bowl during this Penang trip. We enjoyed the well-balanced broth and flakiness of the mackerel bits.
Kim Laksa is one of the Laksa stalls that sells 2 types of Asam Laksa and Siam Laksa in Balik Pulau. Selling Laksa for more than 40 years this Kim Laksa is bringing the Penang's Flavour to the world. Besides that, the Vietnamese Food here is also very nice and authentic. The Banh Mi is so yummy and sells at a very affordable price. This goes the same as Vietnamese Chee Cheong Fun which is very appetizing and appealing.
This is lemak laksa, which contains coconut milk.
Tiger CKT is one of those famous CKT that located in a Old Coffee Shop in George Town, which is open for breakfast and lunch, perserving is RM7.50 at this date and time, comes with 2 large prawns, and will customize the CKT to your requirements. I would rate this place is as one of the Top CKT in town. (personal).
The Char Koay Teow may not look much different from the others, but it was really delicious, fragrantly fried with lots of “wok-hei” flavour! We suspected the use of duck egg made the delectable plate even more fragrant. It didn’t leave a very greasy feel too. Much better than the one we had from an unknown stall in Pulau Tikus the previous day!
The place was in in full swing on Sunday morning circa 10.00am and we were lucky to secure the last table or else we might need to wait table for hours according to Ken. We placed our order and wait patiently for our food to be served. There are other foods available in the coffee shop too such as prawn noodle (known as Hokkien Mee in Penang), Lor Bak and etc.
As the name implies, the restaurant specializes in assam laksa.
带着家里长辈来这，既能让享受认真制作的传统美食，也能让他们好好地在这个用餐环境享受一下, 让心情也便舒缓,能来这里用餐实在太棒了。
环境整洁光鲜。能在轻松的爵士乐中愉快地享用这般美食,顿觉格外地享受,心情也便舒缓了许多,来这里用餐美妙极了。
These restaurants inherited the traditional pan mee recipe that passed down by their granny. The pan mee served here are home made and insisted to be hand cut rather machine. The taste of the PanMee are flavorful and delicious
Overall the food here, i would say is just average, nothing special to shout about but i like dining here because their food is acceptable, environment is comfortable and service is good.
Every bowl of Pan Mee here is enjoyable thanks to fresh ingredients. You can taste it on your own, the al-dente noodles with unique texture, and coupled with all sorts of ingredients make the Pan Mee a comfort food to have during lunch or dinner.
Here's the location.
If you are into getting a quick bite during lunch or dinner, then here would be a good place.
During our visit, we had a bowl of Jumbo Curry Mee (RM 13.90). It did not disappoint, as the Jumbo Curry Mee still carry their aromatic curry soup traits, and the addition of various ingredients such as roasted pork, cockles, beancurd skin were complementing the noodles well. Add on some of their signature chili paste for a more spicy sensation.
What good here is their Koey Teow Soup, I like their Siew Bak (Roast Pork), and while my wife like their loh bak.
Overall the food taste here is slight sweet base and dear and me realize by looking around most of the customer here is order the dry type noodle. Dear and me will came back here again to evaluate their dry type noodle.
店内的鱼丸是卖点，粿条干及福建面干是两大主将，而鱼鳔面则是西刀林创新的自家品牌。 喜欢汤的，粿条汤和福建面也是选择之一。
Wan Tan Mee House is one of the places that I have been patronizing for Wantan Mee. This shop has been serving wantan mee for 60 years and I have blogged about this shop since 5 years ago. The wantan mee style is Cantonese style which is served with starch gravy. The selling point is their deep-fried wantan that is crunchy outside and packed with filling inside. The flavourful starchy gravy makes this Wantan Mee outstanding too.
Overall, the taste of the wan tan mee was unique and the deep fried wan tan tasted crunchy and delicious. The price of the food here was considered reasonable too as the noodle portion and wontons were larger than usual . The drawback is the additional charge of clear soup which is usually complementary in other stalls. It is also not easy to find parking nearby as the road is a main road and parking is not allowed.
Potentially one of the most expensive Wan Ton Mees in Penang, Wan Ton Mee House's comes with a splash of own-developed Egg-gravy to be mixed and eaten with the noodles. On top of that, Wan Ton Mee House's rendition of Wan Ton Mee sees a serving of addictive Pork Lards, crispy Deep Fried Wan Ton/ Dumplings, dressed in a luscious gravy. The texture of the noodles was alright, but they could be more generous with the Chilies. Sambal will only be given upon request, which is a nuisance for chili-lovers like us. All in all, we thought the noodles were of decent-quality; definitely not something that we would want to go all out for it but neither do we against it.
We are following tight SOP to step into the restaurant...
What I like best is either their Dry Laimen, dry style, serve with a giant mince meat ball, and slices of Grilled Honey Pork and half boil egg, or their Pork Belly Laimen, serve with herbal soup, braised pork belly, and slightly undercook (Japanese Style) hard boil egg and their loh bak.
VERY DELIVIOUS...yummy yummy.....................
The bowl contains several thin meat slices (肉片) which I feel is reasonably good. There is also some braised chicken feet (卤鸡脚), but there is little meat and I don't think it really helps in terms of flavor. Other ingredients in the gravy are a braised egg (卤蛋), pork lard (猪油渣), bean sprouts (豆芽) and fried onions. In particular, I like the use of pork lard as it gives a delightful appeal to the dish.
This Loh Mee Outlet normally always full of customer. You might expected sharing table with other people.
One of the best things is customers are allowed to add any chopped Garlic and Chili Paste into their noodles freely. It offers more flexibility especially to chili lovers like me.
Checking out Green House Prawn Mee Corner 青屋蝦麵 which has a storied history of over 30 years and the prestigious Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition. They are also awarded the Michelin Bib Gourmand. Our order included the Hokkien prawn mee and their otah.
The video above is the brach of Burma Road. The taste of the soup is packed with prawn aroma while it is slight spicy with savory and sweet touch.
Experience small bowl noodle (really SMALLEST I have ever seen)....here
There are a few types of Thai Noodles available here which are serve in small bowl.
The very-hyped Thai Boat Noodle trend in Penang seen a few new opening of Thai Boat Noodle outlets but the market leader- Boat Noodles did not respond to the trend. We believe the trend has subsided for now but recently, The Original Boat Noodles has decided to expand their business operations to Penang. The first branch by the brand is now open at Sunway Carnival Mall and relentless queues were spotted during our trips there. It was not easy for us either, we gladly joined the queue and it took us approximately 15 minutes to clear it. The Thai menu is Boat Noodles-centric with a few sides while the interior decor is minimal and a lot of tables (distance between tables is small). If I were to nitpick, there are rooms for improvements- the floor was not properly cleaned, utensils were greasy; the only thing praise-worthy was the crowd-management. Find Boat Noodles on the Second Floor of Sunway Carnival Mall, a stone's throw distance away from Hanamaru and Yoshinoya.
One of the delicious Penang Hokkien Mee that famous to local is located in Sin Hup Aun. Selling for 20 over years the taste of the Hokkien Mee is very classic it blended well for the prawn and pork ribs flavour. The chilli paste for the noodle is stir fried before for better aroma.
One big reason why I prefer this stall of Mee Goreng over others is due to sweetness. I would prefer something not too sweet but flavorful enough. The noodles will be quite spicy for some so please do ask for less-spicy version upon ordering if you can't take spicy food. As for seafood lovers, they do throw in some generously sliced Cuttlefish for the extra bite. You would have noticed that the noodles were quite wet and moist as well; yes, the noodles were moist. It's just my personal preference that I prefer wet version of Mee Goreng over the overly dried version. Nevertheless, the Wok Hei still complemented the noodles well and it certainly enhanced the flavor of the entire dish. Thumbs up for this.
Normally after 4.00pm there were a large crowd around the stall. Some customers were sitting in their cars, standing around the stall and sitting along the edge concrete drain to enjoy the mee goreng.
Their assam laksa, with lai fen (laksa noodles) in a piquant fish broth boiled with mackerel, tamarind and local spices comes with a heirloom of vegetables and a spoonful of thick prawn paste ‘hae ko’ (蝦羔). Drizzled with the prawn paste, the sour, tangy and spicy flavors of the assam laksa really hit the spot.
All in all its value or money and given the ambience, a good place to while away some time and relax to food and fellowship.
Penang has never run out of hidden gems, especially when food is concerned. Relau 88 Laksa is one good secret, the Assam Laksa stall housed within a garden supply shop at a corner house along Jalan Paya Terubong at Relau has been serving pleasurable Assam Laksa for months. Since it shares the same place as the garden supply store, the place is surrounded with charming flowers but it does get stuffy under the sultry hot weather. Positive reputation spread through words of mouth, the place is now thronged with patrons in the know. It is particularly busy on weekends, especially for those who yearn for a light, refreshing lunch/ snack. But Relau 88 is not a one trick pony, the locals' favorite icy sweet treats- Cendol and Ice Kacang are also available to cool your summer day.
HB Noodle House's signature White Curry Mee was quite good... creamy and savory; even better with a splash of its home-made Chili paste. It had every box ticked.
I like the restaurant design and decoration
The taste of the noodle is savory and delicious. The soup is packed with the flavor of prawn while it is thick and addictive. Together with the chili paste this Hokkien Mee is cook in classic and nostalgic taste. Selling at RM4 in small while RM4.50 in big portion, the price of the Hokkien Mee here is very reasonable.
Overall, Ah San Hokkien Mee might not be the best Hokkien Mee we have enjoyed thus far but it is worth the visit.
