Good Char Koey Tiew
2 weeks ago(if I still remember rite), The Star wrote about one of the Best Hokkien Mee and Char Koey Tiew in Penang which is located at the bus terminal in Tanjong Bungah. Both the shop is at Kedai Kopi Sin Lee Hin. My hubby is a guy who is siau about Hokkien Mee - he say Hokkien-kia must eat Hokkien Mee. Gila punya hokkien-man. So, he insisted that he want to try it. All this while, he say the best is at Macalister Road where they add in mantis prawn and the other one is at Balik Pulau. The one in Balik Pulau is located in a fishing village where they only operate only on every Saturday and Sunday.
This is the shop. For Penangnites, this kopitiam is near Nisin and Muthu Frozen Food
This is the what Star claim to be one of the best Hokkien Mee in Penang. Looks good but smell so so only and taste not really good. Hokkien Mee must have got a strong smell of prawn but not for this one. Very disappointed!!!
This is the char koey tiew. The portion come very small only. For men, guess they have to order 2 plates. Ladies, ok lar. The char koey tiew is good. Worth to go for it!!! If you don't like the lady at Lorong Selamat (the lansi fei fei lady) then, you can give it a try for this one.I am so busy but steal 10 minutes from my dinner time to share with you about this. There are too many things that I wanna share but just don't have that much time to do it. Well, I really have to. Sayonara....................... have a great weekend.

char keoy tiew and prawn mee both having similar characteristic..>HOT!!!.. it makes people feel thirsty!
Is the Hokkien-Mee with Mantis Prawn of HK Garden + spoonfuls of deep fried lard? Errr... if that's the one I think the soup base a bit too sweet and oily. I tasted it yesterday evening (my hubby tar pau for me) but I got only 1 tiny winy mantis prawn...sigh..unlucky me LOL. I haven't tried the stall @ Balik Pulau but Laksa yesssss!!!! yummy It's tastier than the murky version of Air Itam market. The taste is totally different from when I used to eat there... :-( Now is sweeter, mushy... I rather eat the laksa opposite the wet market (vegetables & fruit section). He's mute but can understand you very well. Besides the place is covered and cleaner than on the street. Also, there's a Char Koay Teow seller still using charcoal to cook .. a bit slow but very good. Also the cook koay teow soup besides them.
At Sin Lee Hin, I mostly go for the Chicken & Duck Rice. In the evenings Siang Pin Seafood serves affordable dishes.
LOL... Erina your hubby is just like my youngest sister. She's nuts of Hokkien mee since she was able to talk! To the extend that she just needed either stood outside our home or sat at the seller's table, the bowl of noodles will be serve to her automatically to her liking! Geezzzz... Anyway, there's another one in the mornings at Carnavon St & Chulia St market (in front of the corner kopitiam which is know also for wantan mee and laksa)
Cheers

I tried there b4 if not mistaken... it's great!
SpookyGrace - ya, thirsty until like nobody business.
Pixen - he is so gila over hokkien mee one lar. Why are this people so gila over hokkien mee har? It's the one from HK Garden. You can ask them not to put the lard and not so much chilli oil for you.
Kenny - you are back......... finally!!!
can somebody tell me where can I find any hokkien mee without lard??
me = health freak lately.
New Kid On The Blog - I thought you can ask them not to put in it, isn't it. I am not so siu hokkien mee leh..........
i also like hokkien mee eventho i'm not hokkien, its the best mee in the world! eh, dun mind me linking u hor
Wuching - no ploblem. Hokkien is the best meh? If my hub see this note from you hor, he will love you to the fullest. Because he loves hokkien mee so much he insisted that I must sell hokkien mee paste in my shop. Man.........
har i thought hokkien mee is fried mia? Why soup geH?
Rabbit - Hokkien Mee is prawn noodle leh.............
alo alo! totally unrelated but ayam here to wish your hubby Lawrence happy fader's day wan!!
It's true, the lady selling fried koay teow at Lorong Selamat is very "lansi". The taste is so so nia, plus the prawns are not really fresh. Somemore cost so expensive. I have been tried out fried koay teow at other places. Some even better. Will date my honey to try out this one.
I can smell it!
OK, tomor I'm having char koay teow for lunch. :)
My hubby also siow over Penang hokkien mee although he is not hokkien or from Penang. He will travel 2 1/2 hrs from our hometown to Penang and straight away he will go for his hokkien mee meal.
doesnt taste nice?? but looks delicious!! or am i hungry?? hehehe
Look very yummy!!!Luckyly no meat roll pic!!
Haha...the char koey teow looks so-so but I am sure it taste real GOOD :P. Normally I am not a big fan to char koey teow but this pregnancy has made me like things which I dun normally enjoy haha. Now..I feel like having char koey teow for dinner :(
Wingz- he actually read your blog everyday. Influence by me lar. Now my sister turn pulak.
Celine - sometimes there are places that serve better food, just that we don't know saja.
King's Wife - come to penang and join me for char koey teow.
Sweet Jasmine - your hubby also crazy over penang food???
Huei - wait till I go to Balik Pulau for the hokkien mee then, you will see liau.
Horny - so, finally she has cum then u mah got to makan sendiri liau.
Bit Nee - Is like that keh. When we are pregnant, we will tend to go for food that we don't eat.
All girls from past penang chinese girls high school knew the hokkien mee in old skool canteen was actually real gOod and the best and it's actually managed by the sister from the stall posted above.
To be honest, the "loh" chum th'ng ish the best rather than just a simple hokkienmee!
Try it again nest time!
