As I read through my blog posts for 2008, I found most of them are restaurant related reviews. I think this is deviating from my original purpose of food blogging, which is to discover and promote local foods, especially hawker fares. If not, it wouldn't be fit to be called "Malaysia Food Blog" So, my main aim of blogging for year 2009 would be to continue to do what I actually enjoyed the most - to travel, discover and promote cheap and tasty food.

Hakka Noodles @ Jalan Kulim, Bukit Mertajam

Posted by: vkeong In: Bukit Mertajam| Food and Drink| Hawker Food| Non Halal| Penang () (28 views)

I am a sucker for Hakka Noodles and I would always order it if it’s available. One day I saw this Hakka food stall next to Kang’s Beef Noodle in Bukit Mertajam. And as far as I know, it is the very first in BM to sell Hakka noodle. So, I gave it a try with fairly high hopes it could rival the quality in KL.

The minced meat was OK but the noodles was a disappointment, pretty bland tasting. Sad to say it still has a long way to go before being able to match the Hakka noodles in KL. Even those prepared by foreigners taste better. The only consolation is the cheap price @ RM2.50 per bowl.

Oops, crappy photo due to backlight lol. Besides Hakka noodle, Yong Tau Fu and Lui Cha are also available. Although I am Hakka, I am not a big fan of Lui Cha at all lol. If you haven’t had Hakka noodle before but curious about the taste, you can probably give it a try.

Hakka noodles in Penang? Good try. Food in mainland Penang is cheap. Still prefer nyonya.

vk: Yeah, most food in the mainland side are still below RM3

Never try this Hakka mee before although I’m authentic BM kia. One recommendation here, I was one of the regular customer of pan mee in Seri Kembangan or Serdang. It only opens during night time ~7pm-10pm.

How to get there?
From Equestrian club going to South city plaza using the old road, you will pass by a Dunlop car tyre shop beside the main road, the stall is just there.

Sorry that I don’t remember exactly the street name.

vk: Hi Eric, I think you’re referring to this stall? I posted about it not too long ago: http://www.vkeong.com/2008/07/30/pan-mee-serdang-raya/

Yeah, that’s it!

Hmm I’m quite familiar with BM but still cannot recall seeing such stalls. Where exactly along Jln Kulim? Near St Anne’s church?

vk: Yes you’re right. Jalan Kulim is the road you use to reach St Anne’s Church from the town. If you can find Yin Onn (the chinese herb/medicine shop) you will see this. It’s only opposite

Ooh hakka noodles! i LOVE the noodles itself, bangsar has some pretty good selections although you’d never get it for RM2.50. I had the worst hakka noodles ever in Chau Yang, PJ yesterday…so yeah, time to find eat a good bowl again! Any other recommendations?

use the flash maybe?? should give it abit more oomph (in terms of light)..

vk: I am actually quite pai seh to use the flash there.. eating there alone with a camera was already weird enough for people to stare at me lol.

have u tried the on in sungai nibong? quite famous. normally lunch time is full of people. from one shop, now they expand into 2 shops. good business lo!!!

vk: I used to dine in Sungai Nibong quite frequently.. but I have never noticed Hakke Noodle before lol

I believe the Hakka usually eat this noodles with a bowl of “Yong Tau Fu” type of soup or a plate of fried Yong Taufu or both, depending on what you order.
I think it is rare if I you only eat that bowl of noodles (with minced pork) by itself. No?

As far as I know this particular stall sells quite nice
tasting Yong Taufu cos their fish meat filling is very soft and fresh.

P/S: The Sg Nibong one is just next to Yaki Teppan if they still in Biz
