it’s too bad about the cost cutting measures.. i’d prefer hawker stalls charge us more than cut back on quality. what would be the point of eating out then.. ?!

vk: Yeah, for me if the food is really good, I don’t mind paying extra to get the same quality. Price increase is inevitable as we all know.. as long as the increase is reasonable lah

Prawn Noodles…my favourite!! If possible, maybe you can try out the ever famous stall situated opposite the Chai Leng Park (CLP) morning market. The coffee shop (a.k.a. kopitiam) is named Pearl In The Sea - 海中宝 if the name doesn’t change and sits at the corner of the one way street to CLP post office. Besides hokkien mee, the Fried KoayTeow and KoayTeow Soup are tasty as well…Please have a try if possible. ^^

You are right keong, the quality of food has dropped. I find that there are a lot of eatery shops popping up in Penang. Most of the food is not up to the old good Pg food. Too bad..food recession.

Hi VK,

I am from Kulim. If you dont mind the drive to Kulim town, there is one hokkien prawn mee which I like. The aunty who sells this came from Penang. You can find her stall in the Taman Ria Cafe at the Kulim town. She sells in the morning as well as for lunch too. Taman Ria cafe is situated next to the old cinema (now changed to snoker club). When you are there, you may want to try the 明光curry mee which is at the same shoplots as Taman Ria Cafe. The curry mee can be eaten with chicken or with char siew. Curry mee is only available for breakfast and sometimes lunch.

Drop me an email if you need a map to go there.

Rgds,
Kathy

vk: Thanks for the recommendation. My family used to stay in Kulim before we moved to BM permanently. I am not too familiar with Kulim area but my dad is. Once in a while we would travel to Kulim for a meal. If we do visit Kulim again I will see if I can try the foods you have recommended

I just came back for holiday, I did went out with my mum and husband for cheok sah hokkie me. It wasn’t as good as before quite taste lee. Even my husband is foreigner, he also could tell that. Very dissapointed. When i was kid this places are full of students and the food there very tasty as well and cheap. because of the economic all the the things have been cut down.

Hi VK, I prefer the manton mee near cheok Sah better than then the Hokkien Mee, (you are right that the quality dropped for the hokkien mee) .

For Hokkien Mee, I used to like the one near Tua Pek Kong Temple. That one recommend by by you & 阿贤 http://blog.axian788.com/ also. But it is also not that good like last time.

One more store is inside pai chai yuan. 白菜園, but that one is abit difficult to find. People call the owner 烏弟 (wu di) it is actually nothing to shout about, but i have been going to that store since childhood, so maybe you can try. Just turn in before Temple of God Of Mercy on the road to Berapit and………………………. ask around. (sorry about lack of info, kampung road what, how to to tell you more :-).

Kathy, if you don’t mind, can you email me the map too(sorry vkeong to hijack you comment.) Email To

cycbhd@tm.net.my THANKS.

I will recommend you to try out the hokkien mee at Permatang Tinggi in front of Taman Perwira Indah. The Kg Permatang Tinggi , which shop … a bit hard to describe as it is a corner house in the kampung. If you from alma ( Jalan Rozhan ) , turn left to Jalan permatang tinggi , then turn left again into the village and look for yourself. The kopitiam sell only hokkien mee and chicken rice … (oso chai kueh ).

Hey, I would reckon u the Hokkien Mee at Taman Sri Rambai, operating everyday night from 11pm - 2am. Then morning in the Pasar in Taman Sri Rambai. The stall is in front of a corner shop (just newly renovated, named 2007 i think)

The uncle will push his stall out from his house to the place every night at 11pm. So it takes some time for him to set up. Go there at 1130 is the ideal time.

I seldom order hokkien mee alone as I prefer Hokkien Lor. U can try it too. Hehehe I was from Jit Sin and that stall used to be my supper for lotsa nights

vk: I know got 1 Hokkien Mee in Tmn Sri Rambai selling at night quite nice one. Is it the one in front of the newly renovated corner coffee shop? I just remembered this stall.. but open at 11pm eh?? So late!

By the way, from my experience, the night one is better. Morning in pasar although sold by the same person but somehow it tastes not so good. lol. Maybe the soup keeps boiling for the whole day so the night one taste better. hahaha

Hi cyc,

Sorry for the late reply. Below is the link showing the location for the shop. If you know how to go to Sek Rendah & Sek Menengah Chip Min, you will definitely need to pass by this shop. It’s on your left.

Let me know if you need further help for map.

Opps.. I know this place but sorry to said that I never try on their hokkien mee before. Everytime when I back to BM, I always cracking my head where can get nice hokkien mee to satisfy my stomache, when I was small, i used to aet hokkien mee which sells at Taman Sri Rambai - pasar pagi. It was good that time but no longer sells.

If talk about curry mee in Penang or BM, maybe I can list down few.. But hokkien mee.. *think hard* Any recommendation??
