The other day, we were picking up some
business associates at the airport when our US guests said they would like to have
some authentic Penang breakfast.Since we were along
Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah, the thought of “
roti bakar” came into picture but our guests wanted something
more authentic, so we dropped by at the coffee shop opposite roti bakar instead.
At this
Kedai Kopi Leong Huat Seng, it was still early that not many stalls were actually open for business but we saw a particular stall that has quite brisk business at that time.
Almost every table ordered at
least a bowl of Hokkien Mee. Well, you can’t go wrong with the crowd, right?
The
hokkien mee is quite typical as the soup or the stock is cooked from
shrimp heads and
shells.
Thus the taste of the soup is
quite sweet due to
long hours of cooking those shrimp heads. You will get the regular ingredients like cut shrimps, shredded meat and eggs.
This one is also quite close to the original
Hokkien Mee where they put
kang kung as part of the ingredients. Do take note next time if the
hokkien mee you eat comes with kang kung too.
As a
side dish, the stall does have
roasted pork as add-on for those who prefer to have them together with
Hokkien Mee. Hmmm, maybe what they are missing are “
eiu char koay”.
A regular bowl costs
RM2.20 while a large one costs
RM2.70. This hokkien mee stalls is open from
7.30am till ~11.00am, seven days a week.

If you have a craving for
Hokkien Mee and you are within
USM area, this stall might just be the one for you.
This
hokkien mee stall is located at
Happy Café, an old wooden building next to
Tesco Extra (formerly known as Makro)
The soup base for this
hokkien mee is nice and quite sweet, as the stock uses shrimp heads and shells, cooked till the flavours and aromas can be sniffed. It has the usual ingredients of noodles, prawns, bean sprouts.
You can choose to have either egg noodles, rice noodles, flat noodles or any combination of them. The chilies used are not that spicy and the
hokkien mee taste nicer if you add some chillies into it.
The stall operates from
early morning usually from
6am till 10am. It does not have a regular off day but rather
depends on the seller. Each bowl of hokkien me costs RM2.50.

Hokkien Mee or Prawn Mee is a gourmet originated from
Hokkien (Fujian) and the recipe was brought over when its people migrated to South East Asia. The
hokkien mee in Penang is typically soup based, unlike some other types of
hokkien mee that are stir fried.
Hokkien mee contains egg noodles and rice noodles firstly cooked with hot boiling water to soften them. The noodles are then placed into a bowl where more ingredients will be added.
Typical ingredients used are prawns, slices of pork, bean sprouts, fish cake, eggs, pork ribs, kangkong, vegetables and deep fried shallots.
Then hot
fragrant stock cooked with fresh and dried shrimps are then poured onto the noodles before serve.
A delicious bowl of
Hokkien Mee lies in its soup. The soup has a sweetness taste with slightly salty due to the use of shrimp heads and shells that have been extensively cooked to get their flavours.
Hokkien mee can also be served with ground chilies or sambal.
