Hokkien Mee @ Cheok Sah Food Court, Bukit Mertajam
May 6th
I was about to give up hope on looking for a good Hokkien Mee (or known as Prawn Noodle to non Penangites) at Bukit Mertajam until I found a hidden small hawker centre next to the old Cheok Sah cinema known by locals as Cheok Sah food court. Honestly, being a BM resident for more than 20 years I didn’t even realize it existed lol.
For RM4 you get a honest bowl of Hokkien Mee with pork ribs, some halved prawns and lean pork slices.
The soup looks clear but it certainly did not lack the sweet prawn flavor, it was satisfyingly good until the last drop. Good thing MSG was not heavily used to achieve the taste, as I didn’t feel the side effects after that.
Ismal Char Koay Teow @ Jalan Bunga Raya, Bukit Mertajam
Oct 13th
Went back to BM recently and had Ismal Char Koay Teow for dinner. It is still RM5 for a plate of Char Koay Teow Special, which comes with extra prawns, cockles and a sunny side up egg.
It still tasted as awesome like usual. But I realized I should have tried the Char Koay Teow in front of Wonderful Supermarket at Alma instead for a change. Sorry to those who have suggested me that place, I simply forgot and will remember to try it on my next trip back home. Click here to continue reading >
