Hi, Steven! Thanks for your reply. There’s a hawker stall selling Hokkies mee/lor mee in front of a row of shophouses at the corner of Air Itam road and the road leading into Kampung Melayu. It’s normally selling in the late afternoon at about 4 p.m., and I guess patrons have to stand or squat to eat as there are very few places to sit. I’m told that the soup is “heavenly”. It’s run as a family business and they have another stall/cum coffee shack in Paya Terubong, opposite the road from the row of shophouses/apartments. Another place you might want to try is near Joki Road (breakfast time). The stall there sells quite good Hokkien mee.
Btw, I’d tried Khuntai restaurant in BW, and the food there is not bad. Very spicy, and good, especially the prawn balls.

Adrian, I do agree with you. Anyway, this is one of the best that I can find at the mainland. Haven’t found any that can come near to Island’s Hokkien Mee. If you ever come across please do let me know. I would be more than willing to place a visit.

Tried the dry hokkien mee and the normal soupy hokkien mee, and didn’t quite like the taste of the food at this place. It was a bit too salty for my taste and the soup didn’t have much of the prawn taste in it. There are still far better places on Penang island serving better hokkien mee. However, the roast pork was simply excellent and very crispy.

Hi Folks!! I just want to recommend you try the Famous Bubur Cha-Cha at a newly opened hawker style eatery , MAX NYONYA DESSERTS, at 206 Macalister Road.
It’s simply sumptous!!
Yes, it’s coconut based, but hey, desserts are meants to be sinful!! But, there are also a variety of healthier desserts to choose from.
At RM1.80 per bowl it’s value for money.!!
The Nasi Lemak and Chicken pie are also Must trys!!
it’s opened from 10 am – 5 pm Mondays through saturdays.

I thought your blog is very fascinating and mouth watery for me. I haven’t been back to Penang for years. I used to stay near by and always go to Chai Leng Park for lunch during the weekend. A lot of good food there.

Further to my recomendations on November 24th, 2009 at 11:23 pm, I would add the Hokkien Mee Stall at Juru located beside the famous Curry Fish Head Stall reported in PTP’s blog below:
