Hokkien Mee

Hokkien Mee is one of the most famous dishes from Penang. Locals eat this noodles-in-a-bowl any time of day – for breakfast, lunch, tea, dinner and even supper. It’s blanched bee hoon (rice vermicelli), mee (yellow noodles) and crunchy bean sprouts, green kangkung with a quarter or half of hard-boiled egg, sliced prawns and pork on top, with a delicious aromatic prawn stock. Like the other famous Penang favourites, Hokkien Mee is available at practically every coffee shop or street corner, restaurant or food court. The subject of which stall serves the best HKM can get quite emotional at times.
