This is another good food stall recommendation by one of my colleagues, Peng Hooi. We were talking about mee goreng and he recommended Haji Mohd Tokun Mee Goreng in Bukit Mertajam 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 Tokun Mee 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:
Oh, I did a post on this too but on the original stall at Cherok To’Kun. Mayb u 1na take a look?

Tummythoz: I read your blog about this but where is this Cherok To’Kun anyway?
[…] Sultan is a disaster. Compared to Haji Mohd’s Mee Tokun, this plate of mee goreng costing RM4.00 is absolute rubbish. If this can be called Mee Sultan, Mee […]
Hie vkeong. this tokun mee is really delicious.. but the cleanliness.. not really clean. There are also some flies around especially if you eat udner the tree. You should have try the mee kuah. Damn delicious..
vk: Yeah I agree the cleanliness can be improved lol. It’s at the road side and beside a longkang lol. I didn’t try the mee kuah.. would probably do so in my next trip :)
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

[…] mee goreng di Cherok To’ Kun yang digilai oleh beliau. Aku dan Ka sering kali mengelarkan mee kembang tengokok. Hari ini, rupa-rupanya sudah setahun aku tinggalkan bumi mengkuang tersebut biarpun apa cerita di […]

[…] at the intersection before you turn into the road leading to Bukit Mertajam hill. I am not sure if Haji Mohd is a branch or somehow related to Pak Man because both of them seem to sell the same thing. But […]
