Haji Mohd Tokun Mee Goreng
| Share |
This is another good food stall recommendation by one of my colleagues, Peng Hooi. We were talking about [tag]mee goreng[/tag] and he recommended Haji Mohd Tokun Mee Goreng in [tag]Bukit Mertajam[/tag] 大山脚. Apparently I pass this stall almost everyweek and yet I didn’t know it is good lol. That’s why I like to ask around for good food 
It is super easy to locate this noodle stall. Along the road to St Anne’s Church pass Taman Sentosa you will see a Caltex petrol station. Haji Mohd is just beside the petrol station. The name of the stall comes from the place where it started its business – Cherok Tokun.
Besides mee goreng, they also have [tag]Tokun Mee[/tag] Kuah Ketam, mee rebus and pasembur. I dunno about you but that mee kuah ketam certainly sounds yummy to me lol. Anyway a plate of mee goreng costs RM2.50. There are 2 cooks preparing the dishes at one time so waiting time is not too long. Although the stall is located at the road side and appear shoddy, I must commend on the cleanliness, there wasn’t a single fly around!
What’s on top of the noodles are actually sweet-spicy cuttlefish. At first I mistook them as fried onions and scooped them away lol. The mee goreng is great and one day I will surely return to try the mee kuah ketam. :drool:

about 1 year ago - 3 comments
Old Green House restaurant (老青屋) is a popular place among Penangites to have Hokkien Mee (or Prawn Noodle in other Malaysian states) either as dinner or supper. Although the noodle is also available in the morning at another ‘day shift’ stall, most of the working people only have the opportunity to savor it after working

I bet you already know that it’s the Hungry Ghost Festival currently. During the Ghost Month the realms of Heaven and Hell are open, which releases ghosts, spirits including those of the deceased ancestors to roam the living world. So, the Chinese are often advised to stay at home and prevent from going out late

Sate Zainah Ismail Best Satay In Town @ Jalan Keramat, KL

As you might already know I am desperately looking for a satay in Klang Valley that could rival, and perhaps even better than those that I had in Singapore which I hate to admit is still the best I ever had to date. So when two of my fellow readers recommended Sate Zainah Ismail at

There aren’t many Japanese restaurants in BM so I am glad that Shunka Japanese Restaurant at Maju Utama Business Centre is a good one. This business centre is also home to a number restaurants and cafes like Bloggers Cafe, Station 1 and Old Town. Currently it is the most popular venue to hang out in
Bloggers Cafe Fusion Food @ Maju Utama Business Centre, Bukit Mertajam
about 1 year ago - 15 comments
Usually when a new cafe opens I am quite hesitant to blog about it, fearing that it would close down not long after. Can’t blame me for having that feeling, as many cafes do come and go in a short period. My skepticism was even stronger because the cafe has a rather corny name –

One of the oldest hawker stall in Penang that is still operating can be found at Kedai Kopi Seng Thor @ Lebuh Carnavon. Seng Thor is particularly famous its Lor Mee but I feel the Lor Bak here deserves a better mention. The uncle has been selling his home-made lor bak daily without fail for
Sri Bistari Famous Nasi Ayam Penyet @ Changi Village
about 1 year ago - 5 comments
To be honest, I haven’t tried a lot of Indonesian food but I can vouch my love for Ayam Penyet, this wonderful traditional dish that originates from Subaraya. Smashed fried chicken served with rice and spicy hot sambal, so simple yet so additively delicious. Not too far away from Tampines at Changi Village is Sri

A recent visit to Q Wok Nyonya Curry House at Taman Bayu Mutiara near Autocity had us delighted over the good and affordable home cooked traditional Nyona dishes. Most of the dishes have three sizes from small to medium to large and the pricing is justified for the clean environment as well as an efficient

I’m BM guy, who experience taking Tokun Mee Goreng more than 10 years. Your mentioned stall is not original from Tokun, they are copy cat from their master, this stall current at Kampung Baru road side. Honestly I didn’t feel taste good.
Original Tokun Mee Goreng still at Tokun area call Pak Man Mee Goreng, this is origin stall. You should try this out!
vk: Oh yeah about that Tokun stall, actually I didn’t know the original one was there when I went to try. I will be back to try though, thanks for mentioning
