We all know that if we want authentic Hokkien Mee, Penang is the place to be. The problem is there are so so many Hokkien Mee in Penang, from coffee shops to restaurants. Where to find the BEST Hokkien Mee?

I normally would have Bee Hoon Mee but you could try Maggie Noodles, Bee Hoon or just Mee! Topped off with bean sprouts, lean meat, pig’s skin, hard boiled egg and of course, PRAWNS!
