Balik Pulau Hokkien Mee and Laksa, Lorong Chong Teik Balik Pulau – The Best of Classical Taste

Many people still refer to Balik Pulau when asked about one of the best Laksa and Hokkien Mee in Penang. The original location of Balik Pulau Hokkien Mee and Laksa, Jalan Bharu has already relocated to Lorong Chong Teik.

For those who drive to Balik Pulau via Jalan Tun Sardon, slow down when you reach the Rapid Penang Terminal Bus Balik Pulau at Jalan Tun Sardon on your right. Not too far away on your left, you will see a Chinese School called Chong Teik (崇德学校). Just before the school there is a small route known as Lorong Chong Teik where you can turn in and see signages to the shop.

Next to the laksa soup was the hokkien mee soup. They were both boiling all the time so that the food can be served hot.

One thing good about the hokkien mee here is the soup base, it was really packed with seafood flavor. Another thing is the chili paste that comes with the noodle must be mixed together with the soup to make this dish complete.

Compared to hokkien mee, my cup of tea is still their laksa. I love the laksa here as the spiciness, sourness and also the fish smell of the laksa are all packed into this bowl. For a laksa lovers, this bowl of laksa is a must-try.

Overall, even though this place is not easy to locate but for the taste and the value of food it is worth the travel. The taste of the hokkien mee here is a bit degraded compared to the previous place. However, the taste of the laksa still maintains its standard. The drawback for this place is they only open on Saturdays and Sundays.
