I knew it's hard for my blog readers to trust what I wrote whole-heartedly all the time. I also knew that most of us have different taste buds to begin with. So, today I will let the crowds to decide. More specifically, 'Penang crowds', who are the most food conscious and most particular about their foods. You can judge how great (not 'good' as most foods in Penang are good, hehe) a food stall/ restaurant in Penang by the size of the crowds at the food stalls/ restaurants.
And today, I'll recommend my favorite Hokkien mee a.k.a prawn noodles in Penang. Within the short section of Lebuh Presgrave road, there are a lot of Penang's favorite. Virtually all food stalls there are my favorites!!!
Just join me for a short write-ups on the food stalls before try it out yourselves!
 |
| 3rd Road 888 (Sah Tiau Lor) Hokkien Mee @ Gat Lebuh Presgrave, Georgetown. RM3 per bowl, NOT inclusive of addition of various 'extras' (see below) at extra cost, of course:) |
 |
| Extras!!! (siew yuk/ roasted pork, intestines, slices of pork, etc). The siew yuk/ roast pork is still 'crunchy' at the top skin layer and the remaining part is tastefully marinated. Small intestines are clean and without any residual taste and the slices of pork are tender and melt in your mouth (actually, I honestly think the pork slices is just too thin...they kiam sap as usual @#$%!) |
 |
| My hokkien mee with my forever extra siew yuk/ roasted pork, RM4.60 (RM3 + RM1.60). A small price to pay for an extra few pieces of siew yuk/ roast pork? Yes, no doubt. |
 |
| Closer shot at the hokkien mee, plus siew yuk. The broth are well infused with the prawn's intrinsic taste, sweetened with extra prawns, excites with fragrant chili paste and crunchy golden siew yuk/ roast pork with tinge of saltiness and with burst of saliva-inducing taste from the fried onions and taugeh (bean sprouts) assemble. |
So, how did the Penang crowd fare this food stall?
 |
| The crowds, even voted with their helmet on! Need to order fast, no time to remove the helmet. For more views of the crowds, please go and try it out yourself:) |

Tasty Or Not?
I'd rate this food stall amongst the best Hokkien mee in Penang, with the taste finely tuned to suit the most discriminating taste buds, that's me!:)
i just had it a few days ago, and i stopped eating after 2 mouthfuls.... maybe i'm a bit choosy but it sucked big time to me... have you tried the hokkien mee at pinang delicious food court ? The one which has mantis prawns in it...you can check it out at http://www.bigboysoven.com/2010/01/seang-lim-toptaste-prawn-mee-famous-hokkien-mee-penang/. and no, i'm not the writer of that blog.. happy eating !!
ReplyDeletei prefer the one at jalan bangkok, which was crowned as the best hokkien mee in penang on 2013, its balanced, tasty and humble. 888 is overrated in terms of pricing, and the material they out in a bowl too, out of balance, 'arrogant' and it doesnt gives a pleasant feeling afterwards, especially for people with sensitive taste buds..
