This is not my fave stall but a lot of ppl seem to like it because it’s really spicy. My favorite is still the one at Bangkok Lane, which you said was bland. Maybe it’s true cos I haven’t been to that stall in 2 years (studying overseas).

vk: LOL I didn’t find it spicy at all.. in fact it was totally tasteless.. sigh. For Bangkok Lane I dunno loh, got ppl tell me it’s because the helpers cook it, so the noodles taste bad.. I plan to give it another try though, if I go back to Penang

Few years back, the mee goreng tasted wonderful, sadly I was embarassed this year when I brought friends there to try it out. Mee gorengs in Penang used to taste really unique and delicious but these days, many of the stalls do not fry good mee goreng anymore. It is challenging to eat mee gorengs that are not nice.

I’ve read through indeed I do agree that it doesn’t taste as good as years before. I remembered when I was younger, when they did not move to this location, we had to wait for a vacant place just to have that plate of mee goreng.

We went to this new location and told them that they didn’t taste the same and they said the curry powder they used we no longer in production. Therefore with this new one, it taste like that. Maybe I could take that as a reason to how it taste but not how the squid turned out to be like. They taste totally different and instead of using squid, they use cuttlefish now. Such a dissapointment.

vk: I see, but I don’t think the curry powder alone can make such a HUGE difference in the quality and taste. Thanks for your information.. at least now I know it was really good last time

Hooray… someone finally said that the Mee Goreng there sucks!! Haha.. it’s true as I used to buy that for my parents for tea until they complained that it is tasteless. It happened so many times until I gave up on them.

I really regretted bringing SBC to video them for Singapore Food Channel few years back. They even have the cheek to charge us for the food “spoilt” although we gave them free publicity to be shown throughout Singapore.

P/s: I still think you should rate the food you have taken as well as to provide a good location map. Penang Tua Pui will be able to help you with his great Google Search map Anyway, great blog here except for the missing two items

hello vkeong! thank you for dropping by my blog to see what the joker had to say LOL!

btw, i am partially Penangite, born there but live in KL since young. according to my parents, the best Penang fried mee is near Penang Hill, sorry can’t pinpoint where, not familiar. >.<

anyway the BEST food places are always dirty and dank LOL, the above looks too commercialized for true good food to exist. XD
