Ah Soon Kor Har Mee at Sim Kin San Coffeeshop, Rangoon Road, Penang

Working days, we usually don't like purposely wake up earlier to have breakfast together but nowadays, we are kinda doing it once in a while. It starts our day really nicely. To have breakfast and also to see each other's face of course :)

Since we didn't want to like wake up super early, we decided to makan around our office area. We decided to eat hokkien mee at this corner coffeeshop along Rangoon Road. 

Famous for its extra ingredients like prawn mantis and roasted pork belly, he sells until it's finished. 

One large bowl of hokkien mee please thank you.

Har Mee aka as Hokkien Mee/Prawn Mee - RM6.00 for large

with roasted pork belly, pork ribs and prawn mantis.

He says: Ohhhmm.. The soup is sweet and tasty! This dish comes along with the BIG 3 dish that compliments hokkien mee. Siu-bak, bak kut, & prawn mantis!

She says: I like this hokkien mee. The soup is very prawn-ish which is a very good compliment. The ingredients inside made this breakfast even better. Spoon licking good this one for sure. For sure will go there eat again!

When I say Hokkien Mee, everyone knows what that is right?

I hope you all know, especially if you're a Malaysian! If not, SHAME ON YOU! Kidding kidding.

So yeah, hokkien mee is a popular dish in Penang, loved by many.

BUT how many of you know what Hokkien Ta is? 

Hokkien Ta is the dry version of hokkien mee. Soupless Hokkien Mee. A bit difficult to let it sink in, ins't it? 

Hokkien Mee is actually eaten mainly for its soup. So, if the soup not nice, it's a bad hokkien mee. So hokkien ta how?

Easy peasy.

The chilli they use to mix with the noodles and ingredients will determine whether it's a good hokkien ta or not. Actually, we have not known of anywhere else that serves Hokkien Ta other than in Nibong Tebal. Seriously.. So, if you go to Nibong Tebal, just stop here for a good 15 minutes and try out their Hokkien Ta.

This stall is at the same place with the Ice Blended Peanut and Laksa! Just click here to see and you'll know what I mean!

Sure got crowd everytime.

They also sells Wan Tan Mee and Koay Teow Th'ng.

The Hokkien Ta is served with yellow noodles. If you want, you can also request to have them served with wan tan mee's noodles.

See that big pot of chilli over there? It's not that spicy actually. It's just nice nice.

Anywhere in Penang, it is surely that you will see at least one Hokkien Mee stall in every coffeeshop. No kidding! Who can not like Hokkien Mee, like seriouslyy??! 

So it's been a while ever since we ever crave for Hokkien Mee. She is usually the bigger fan of hokkien mee, and as for him, a fan also la but not as big.

We were... err.. out.. we can't remember exactly where we went or what we did that night. But it's definitely somewhere in town. Cos we were hungry and she wanted to eat hokkien mee so immediately she knew where to go. He has never been to this place. She also not very sure which street as there's so many street at this area. At first, she said 'Goh Tiau Lor' aka Fifth Street but luckily he made the right turn and we found it without having to ask for direction! Heh.

Lebuh Presgrave or a.k.a. 'Sah Tiau Lor' (which literally means third street).

The extra ingredient that you can add into your hokkien mee., roasted pork belly aka 'siu bak'

He says: Sui bak! Yum yum but fatttt!

She says: Skin, crispy. Meat, soft and tender. It's good, it's good :)

He says: The hokkien tastes okay but when its come together with the sui bak, it became ho chiak! I only know two places that sells hokkien mee at night and this one certainly beats the other. =) People, give this a try!

She says: Just like any ordinary hokkien mee you can find in Penang. Love that I have siu bak in my hokkien mee! It made it taste nicer! Who doesn't love roasted prok belly rightt!? It's so a bowl of such awesome goodness!

Hokkien/Lor Mee with roasted pork belly (hokkien mee's soup mix with lor mee's soup)

He says: Aha! This one is good. The combination of the soupy hokkien mee plus the starchy loh mee is just magnificent. Recommended =)

She says: I like this one too! The taste of the soup is different that the previous one, but this is nice in its own way le. The lor gives it a very good aroma. Very good yummy combi. Love itt! Now I know where to hunt for hokkien mee in the middle of the night! :)

Famous Hokkien Mee/Wan Tan Mee at Mt. Erskine Market, Penang

We, not morning people definitely! And we do not usually eat breakfast unless we are meeting up with friends or it's a special day kind of thing.

So on one of the Sunday, we decided to wake up earlier than planned to go have breakfast. 

Why?

Because we have to go to Tanjung Bungah's beach to help a friend with a short video shooting, so why not have breakfast first, right?

and we took few shots of our own, just because the last time we were at a beach was long time agooo! 

So here you go, the two authors of this awesome-possum food blog! :D

Okay, back to the breakfast. So since we were gonna travel up north, he suggested Mt. Erskine Market. And the market we went. 

The man and women behind the stall. So, what do they sell? 

This uncle can multi-task, because he sells two items!

First: Hokkien Mee

but the one we ordered is different. 

We ordered Hokkien Mee with Wan Tan Mee Noodles - RM3.00

 He says: Yummy.. The fusion of wan tan mee's mee and hokkien mee's th'ng! haha! Good food =) Try this peeps! =D

She says: A very unique combination. The soup is good. Not great but good. 

Second: Wan Tan Mee - RM3.00

He says: Normal la.. The same old same old. =) However, the texture of the noodle is just nice!

She says: Noodles not too soft and not to hard. The black sauce that they use is superb! Very aromatic! and their dumplings are very soft. Definitely a win compared to the hokkien mee.

There are so many things to eat in the market, so in order for you to know which stall this is, we are gonna show you this. It's a separate part of the whole market. It's like the second division or something. It's behind this plastic-ish curtain. On the right side of the photo, it's the clean public toilet.
