Mee Goreng
Haji Mohd Tokun Mee Goreng
Jan 8th
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:
Mee Jalil
Sep 13th
If you go pass Sungai Ara quite often, chances are you will see a man in his 40′s selling mee at a small stall by the road. From his stall’s name “Mee Jalil” I assume his name is Jalil? Anyway [tag]mee goreng[/tag] and mee rebus are available @ RM2.30 per packet – tasted quite ok la, uses charcoal to cook one. He usually opens from 6.30pm onwards, but can be MIA for consecutive days at times.. I guess luck is also needed to see him 
2 decades old Mee Goreng
May 13th
Allow me to present you my breakfast today, the best Mee Goreng @ “Jawa Char” in Hokkien. It can be found in Bukit Mertajam, fried by an old chinese couple in Taman Bak Hai for nearly 20 years.
Yum.. I still remember when I was small(primary school) I would tarpao this for dinner if I didn’t really felt like eating my mom’s cooking. Their stall is so near my house, a 2 minute walk is enough to reach. Sometimes I would even bring eggs our reared chickens/turkey laid, giving a 20 cents discount on each pack.
Fried prawn fritters @ “Heh Chi”
The nicest thing in this Mee Goreng would be the fried prawn paste. Unlike those you find in the Indian style, they are not soft but very crunchy. 1 piece costs RM0.50 and I would normally request for an extra 2 pieces.
Besides Mee Goreng, Singapore Bihun and Char Koay Teow are also sold here. Many people like to tarpao the economy bihun here as breakfast before going to work. It has been about 4 years since I last ate this, the taste is still the same and surprisingly, it is still being priced at RM2.00 per pack!
