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.
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.
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。
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.
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.
百年路咖哩面的汤底很鲜甜，有豆腐卜（不懂为何，风暴兵太太觉得这里的豆腐卜比较爽口）、其他的佐料还有QQ的虾、蚶、鱿鱼和豆芽。
It lives up to its name of being white curry - a thin, sweet and milky broth made with meat stock with just a hint of curry flavor. It's very different from KL's curry laksa which is heavy on curry flavor and gives of a yellow hue.
I am definitely adding Go Noodles House to my favorite place to eat list, haha !
Here's the location.
An exceptionally popular and fairly casual noodle-specialist hailed from central Malaysia has recently expanded its business operations to Penand and has finally swung opened its doors to the public. Go Noodle House's first Penang branch is strategically located in Gurney Plaza (7th floor/ opposite to SenQ). Beelines of long queues have been spotted for the past few days. The brand has gained strong reputation in terms of quality and wallet-friendly price tags. Go Noodle House is also famed for its signature clear-soup noodles, finished with Chinese Wine. The no-frills restaurant offers a simple home-styled cooking menu that features two types of noodle dishes- Clear Soup and Pan Mee (available from Rm 9.90). We were certainly impressed with the food quality, but we thought their service level could be further improved (or perhaps, the restaurant is still new and the staff lacked of experience and training).
南乳炸肉【RM7.80】为什么小编会点这个，因为看到很多桌都点，就try看咯！还蛮咔吱咔吱
Ah Gu Pan Mee is not the conventional Pan Mee place that serves Pan Mee in the neighborhood; it churns out atypical but lip-smacking flavors. If you think Pan Mee can only be served with clear Anchovy broth or dressed in dark Soy sauce, think again. Ah Gu, the Pan Mee specialist is creative at churning out Pan Mee... differently, some of the notable choices include Clams Pan Mee, Scallion Pan Mee and the never-out-of-fashion Pork Lard Pan Mee. Opened in less than a month, Ah Gu has garnered an appreciate following.
One can enjoy a piping hot plate of Tai Loke Mee KL Hokkien Char at RM9. Stir-fried in black sauce with crispy pork lard, seafood, and cabbage; the noodle dish comes very close to those sold in KL. The thick noodle has just the right softness making it enjoyable with the accompanying red chili sauce.
The stir fried noodles was fried to possess a nice subtle charcoal flavour (wok hei), along with a well controlled oil factor which was just right on point. Seasoning was nicely done, and the sambal chili given was perfect to introduce a slight heat component and a touch of tanginess.
The trademark of Kham Kee has always been their special handmade beef balls. They always have that bouncy al dente bite that you can hardly find elsewhere and they were bigger in size than others. Their chili sauce was also superb as it was a handed down recipe for decades. It was sassy recipe with hints of red chilies, bird eyes chilies and ginger with some pinches of salt. It was fiery spicy but I love it! The dish would come with a generous garnishing of chopped Chinese celery and some oil drained fried garlic. It was a simple yet fulfilling hot bowl of noodles on a rainy day~
Each bowl comes generously topped with chopped Chinese celery and some crisp fried garlic, making for a simple, satisfying meal. Delicious!
端上桌的牛肉粿条汤，汤底清澈，配料有牛肉片、牛肚、牛筋、牛肉丸和豆芽。牛肉粿条汤上撒满了芹菜和炒蒜。 不说不知，他们家的牛肉丸可是自家自制的呢。手工牛肉丸很弹牙，汤头清甜，加上牛肉片和粿条一起吃，味道果然独特，将牛肉片沾上他们家的辣椒酱吃，火辣的辣椒酱肯定让你又爱又恨。
It is nice dining in here at Lucky Bowl Noodle, though the place may be small but they have comfortable seating place with nice environment. Service is good and food serving is fast.
Sang Nyuk Mee (Rm 9) Diners have the option to pick either Yellow Noodles, Vermicelli Noodles or Koay Teow; the noodles are then dressed in Dark Soy Sauce and Pork Lard. It can be greasy but for those who appreciate the fragrance of the Pork Lard, you may find it palate-pleasing. The Pork broth on the other hand, was light on the palate but packed with deep meaty element. Also note-worthy was the Pork slices... extremely tender and almost melted in the mouth without chewing. Ask to exclude the innards if you are not a fan of those.
The dry version is drenched with think and starchy gravy, while the soup version is served with conventional wan thun mee savoury soup. Personally, the al-dente noodles are an enjoyment in biting, and I would prefer the soup version over the dry one, as I am not a real fan of starchy gravy wan thun mee. However, this is a pretty subjective matter and it should up to individual's preference.
他们的云吞面和细蓉是不少Penang人都非常着迷和爱吃的啦!!
Their Koay Teow soup is excellent, featuring a clear and flavorful broth.
We tried Dry AhMa Pan Mee and Curry AhMa Pan Mee, and absolutely loved its unique noodle texture - solid yet al-dente. We personally enjoyed the dried version due to the perfectly balance seasoning that yields an aromatic flavour - not too heavy nor too light.
Noodles are deeply rooted in our culinary consciousness, there is no one size fits all. There are a lot of varieties on offer and they can come in different size, color, shape, texture as well as flavor. Typically, Pan Mee (a type of Hakka Noodles) is served in the shape of thin, round and smooth texture but Ah Ma Pan Mee, a newly opened Pan Mee specialist at 4th Street Club (Tye Sin Street) decides to do things differently. Using traditional recipe from Pahang, the noodle joint offers Pan Mee in its own style. While the soup bases and condiments are similar, the noodles stand out. They come in irregularly fat-round shape with al-dente (slightly chewy and bouncy) texture. The menu is not big but the air-conditioned restaurant offers a comfortable dining space for hungry diners to have a quick fix; definitely a place where fans of Pan Mee should check out.
The plate of barbeque pork and roasted pork is a sight to behold. The slices of meat are cut into a good bite size, thick enough to taste. The nicely caramelised barbeque pork imbued with flavors and aromas is apparently big hits with diners. The Chinese wine and many types of marinating spices provided an interesting play of taste and flavors to the tender and tasty meat.
But the fact that it is still standing strong today proves one thing- they have garnered an appreciate following with superior food quality. It has a restricted menu.... it only offers an array of Roast meat... served with springy Wan Ton Mee (no Rice is served if you must know) as well as Porridge. One of the places that I would like to go for a casual, meat-licious meal.
All in, we really enjoyed both plates of CKT as they met all our requirements – sufficient wok hei, succulent prawns, and full of garlicky and porky bits.
I was in Penang for a weekend last month for a quick visit and had a chance to eat Char Kway Teow at one of the stall located in Lorong Selamat.
While savories are the focus, the menu also serves warm sweet Chinese tongsui, with choices of red bean soup and peanut soup.
