Penang Hokkien Mee! There are many hawker stalls selling this favourite noodle in prawn soup, the famous ones that are mentioned by many are mainly found in town. This little humble stall that is found in the outskirts in Tanjung Bungah, is located in a small road side cafe a.k.a kopitiam along the Vale of Temp. It is just next to a road junction and under a big tree. You won't miss it, especially with the big sign. This Hookien Mee stall is run by an uncle who's crown is already totally white, easy to recognise.

His Hokkien Mee soup at the first mouthful is full of the aroma and pungent taste of prawns, then later the sweetness of the shells will hit your taste buds. The soup base is more to the heavy tasting type. If you slowly enjoy the Hokkien Mee till the last drop, you might find something peculiar in the soup. No ,not cockroaches! You might find that the soup tastes a little bit like Mee Jawa gravy. That was what hit me at my last trip there because I was not in a hurry to go anywhere, thus we slowly savour the bowl of Hokkien Mee till the very last drop.

The stall also prepare Lor Mee, but the gravy is nothing extraordinary. But to enhance the taste if you like the starchy textures of the gravy, you could add in some top layer oil from the prawn soup. It will give it an added punch to what was a dull taste. The Lor Mee is, if I am not wrong, is RM 2.80 per bowl with two chicken legs.



On average. I would give this Hokkien Mee :

4/5 for value
3.5/5 for taste
3.5/5 for service
3/5 for cleanliness
3/5 for atmosphere(what can we ask from a coffee shop)

福建面 @ Hot Wok Nyonya Restaurant外面。
Tanjung Tokong，Penang Island

又度过了一个热不起的马来西亚第48年的国庆。应目前提心跳胆的抢夺暗件越来越严重，搞到人心彷徨，对于市民来说是一根敕，无所不在的不安。哪又怎能热得起呢？嗨! 怎么现在的社会变了样？是谁的错呢？

悲哀的事斩时放在一旁吧。咱们来品尝美食为上！

这档福建面原来是和“热锅”餐馆是情戚，所以才能在门前买面。走前档口看了一看，有吊着2大排烧肉，排骨，竽头糕，萝卜糕；但完全嗅不到福建面的虾汤香味。于是Jason 就order 了2碗面，另外叫了1碟烧肉，竽头糕，萝卜糕。

1．烧肉：肉质还算可以，肥肉太多，味道不均匀，有些部份咸有有些部份淡。

2．福建面：买相不大理想，汤完全没有辣椒油，毫无香味。面条和米粉虽然在汤里头，但是跟本吸收不到虾汤的味道。虾汤只有少许的虾甜味而已，千万不要加上辣椒，这样会让那少许的虾甜味也盖光了。这碗面真的令我倒胃。差径！面多料少， 还买RM3.00 一碗喔！

3．竽头糕：辣椒酱和虾米都盖满了整个竽头糕。但竽头糕的口感太软又粘， 应为放太多辣椒酱，所以吃不到原味，免强ok。

4. 萝卜糕：全场最能吃进口的就是萝卜糕而已！外皮松脆， 味道还算可以.。不会有油腻的感觉。但老板又放了很多辣椒酱！Ermmm, 真的想问：“老板啊，你辣椒酱不用钱吗？” 放太多会盖掉食物原味的！

以上总共吃了RM15. 是否贵了点？？
