This is one of the places, huat koay, fei fei and I quite frequent, not because we like it but it is because we run out of ideas of where to eat during lunch time.

Yes, having too many choices at times can be confusing. Yet, we are grateful for being spoilt with choices in Penang!

The pan mee here is what we called HVM mode – High Volume Manufacturing because the pan mee is cooked in masses than individually prepared. You put your orders on a piece of chit sheet and pass to the workers.

Then the workers will prepare the portion based on the size you want, Small, Large, XL, XXL, XXXL (Yes, you read it right – Huat Koay always ordered the XXXL because he complained the normal ones cannot fill up his stomach). The portion is indeed quite small even a normal person will order “Large”.

The pan mee comes in either thin or flat noodle and you get a bowl of soup with two fishballs if you ordered a dry one. The pan mee can be quite salty and the colour is dark brown, possibly too much of soy sauce inside.

Additionally, there is a mug filled with chilly sauce that you can add to your liking especially those who prefer to have it very spicy.

Besides pan mee, you can also order snacks like dim sum and also “A1” rojak which has colorful prawn crackers (heh piah). Also, there’s only one type of drink available, luo han guo either served hot or cold.

Although we like the outdoor atmosphere but the pan mee you eat may have additional “ingredients” without you realizing it.

You may get leaves or small sticks or some other objects that fall off from the tree. Call it your luck if you happen to have extra ingredients in your pan mee.

The pan mee costs between RM3.00 to RM4.30 while the luo han guo costs RM1 each.

Fei Fei told us this Pan Mee stall is quite popular within this area, especially among the students of nearby secondary school.

So today we took the opportunity to patron this stall while on the way to visit our friend who has just given birth. I was told the chicken rice at this kopitiam is also nice but we did not try it out.

Fei Fei and Huat Koay ordered large one while I chose to settle with regular one. The pan mee is individually cooked, unlike the one at Bukit Jambul.

The noodles are hand made which the dough will be rolled repeatedly using the pan mee maker and flour is sprinkled onto the dough occasionally to maintain its softness. Once the required thickness is obtained, the dough is peeled into small pieces before cooked on boiling water.

The soup based pan mee is clear but has quite strong flavor, likely to have a lot of MSG added to the soup. The pan mee is also quite smooth and soft but if you happen to get the edge portions, it can be quite thick and lumpy as what Huat Koay got. In fact, he regretted ordering the large size pan me.. Haha.

You get some anchovies, shredded mushrooms, minced meat and leaves but there is not many ingredients after all… the main portion of noodles will be quite generous but not other ingredients

The stall is open daily from 7am till 2pm. Each large bowl cost RM3.00 while the regular one is RM2.50. Additional RM0.50 if you request to have egg added.
