Best Loh Mee in Penang

Located in the heart of Georgetown, this old-school coffee shop offers a wide variety of well-loved dishes. Among the highlight here is the loh mee stall which has been in brisk business since day one. Expect a handful of yellow noodles laced with flawlessly executed thick gravy and topped with meats, braised eggs and a sprinkling of fried onions. A spoonful of chilli concoction definitely adds that much-wanted oomph to your palate. 

As per the name, Hokkien Mee is the best seller here but if you need another reason to visit, their loh mee is not to be missed. During peak hours, waiting time may be a little longer but just peering at the stall owner preparing bowls after bowls of moreish noodles certainly makes time run fast. The dark gravy is a masterstroke, it truly shackles onto your taste buds with subtle richness and starchiness. The bed of noodles is then topped with fried pork lards, smatterings of shrimps, hard-boiled egg, fried onions and chopped garlic. Ignore table manners as slurping is a standard when you have a merrymaking bowl like this. 

Just walking into this restaurant pumps you up with unrelenting hunger pangs as every stall whips up dishes that looks mouthwateringly good. Among the most vouched meal here is the loh mee. Think gooey broth flooded with yellow noodles, pork slices, bean sprouts, braised eggs and topped with minced garlic, fried shallots and chilli paste. And if you like to multiply your meaty fix, do add their tender chicken feet too.
