My Favorite Penang Hawker Food – Part Two

First of all, I would like to thank those who continue to view our blog and apologize for the lack of post in the past few months. We are sorry that we haven’t been updating the blog as frequent as we would like to. Please continue to stay with us and support us, we will try our best to make this blog better and better.

As I had mentioned before, the best 3 hawker foods that I like are Hokkien Mee, Mee Goreng and Koay Teow Thng. Today, I am going to bring you the best Mee Goreng in Georgetown, Penang. Probably the best Mee Goreng in Malaysia, as I had never came across another stall which is better than this.



Mee Goreng is a very famous dishes in Malaysia, if not mistaken is originated by Indians and Mamak. It is not hard to find a mee goreng stall in Penang, most of the food court and food center will sure had one in there. Today I am going to introduce this special mee goreng called “mee sotong”. Sotong (cuttlefish) is the main ingredients for this special mee sotong, you can have the mee in the goreng way or the rebus way.



I personally prefer the goreng style. This mee sotong stall is located at Esplanade food court (near to roundabout). The stall is called Hameed “PATA” special mee, Hameed must be the stall owner, but until today I still cannot figure out what is the meaning of “PATA”. The price of the normal portion cost RM3.50 and the “kah liu” (extra cuttlefish) one is RM5.00. If you don’t like mee you can substitute it with Beehoon or KoayTeow. I believe they taste good as well.



The one on the photo was the RM5.00 “kah liu” mee goreng. As you can see from the photo huge amount of cuttlefish placed on top of the mee goreng. Firstly the mee will be fried with other ingredients like dried tofu, cucur udang, potatoes, egg and their special home-made sauces. After the mee were fried to a perfect level, it will be placed in the plate and additional cuttlefish with gravy will then added on top of the mee.



Together with a squeeze of lime, the mee goreng sotong is just so nice. I bet you will love it as well. Give it a try and let us know your comments.

This is the best mee goreng that I ever tried of until today. Personally I would vote this as the best mee goreng. If you go there on lunch time, then you will have to expect a queue of half an hour to 45 mins. But trust me, the waiting time is worth it.

Makan King's ratings = 8.899 out of 10

Another famous 'Mee Goreng/Sotong' in Penang is the one at Bangkok Lane. Ask any Penangite and they will nod their heads in glee.

Google up 'Mee Goreng Bangkok Lane' and you'll see what I mean.

Happy Makan-ing! :D
