Best Loh Mee in Penang

Written by Updated ago

Loh Mee is a Malaysia staple that originated during the migratory waves of Hokkien people. Similar to most soupy noodle dishes out there, the main draw of loh mee is the broth which is a melange of soy sauce, starch, meat or crustacean stock and eggs. The thick and flavoursome broth is then ladled onto yellow noodles and topped with braised meats, eggs and sprinkle of fried scallions. For a dose of heat, chilli concoction is also provided. Comforting, fulfilling and full of flavours – eateries below put their heart and soul to deliver standout bowls of loh mee that tugs your heart upon the first mouthful. Be sure of heading over with an empty stomach.

    Million Loh Mee

    This spacious establishment gives loh mee lovers all reasons to be buoyant, especially if you fancy chicken feet to share space in your bowl too. The thick broth scores on both texture and flavour and they are never skimp on the ingredients such as pork skin, braised egg and the key player - chicken feet. The braised feet are cooked to perfection, tender and succulent, complementing the springy noodles. Condiments like vinegar, chopped garlic and chilli condiment lineup for that additional oomph.

    Lean Thye Loh Mee

    This modest restaurant does give a nostalgic appeal upon walking in and the never-ending crowd is the real testament here.

You’ll be awed by the amount of ingredients flooded into the broth which includes slivers of juicy pork meat, halved braised duck eggs and springy noodles.

    Hwa Lam Coffee Shop

    This unassuming restaurant is where you can always bring over your entire entourage as there is always something for everyone to devour. Sidestepping from regular loh mee stalls, here you can find black vinegar loh mee, which has gathered a strong reputation for newcomers and patrons alike. And yes, just like the picture above, the portions are pretty generous and the flavours burst to the fore with each mouthful. And what better way to chomp down the alluring bowl than a side of chilli sauce.

    One Corner Cafe

    This cavernous food court has been a perennial favourite for locals with a scrumptious spread of food options that does not burn a hole in your wallet. If you itch for something soupy and brims with bold flavours, head over to the loh mee stall. What sets you drooling immediately is the alluring Five Spices aroma that just cannot be ignored. The braised egg, handful of meats and smattering of fried onions perched atop the bed of noodles further augments the whole slurping experience. Tired of the soupy version? Opt for their dry version which is worth giving a try.
