Best Mee Goreng Mamak in Penang

Written by Updated ago

Among the most sought-after dishes that completes our Mamak food scene, raise the curtain for Mee Goreng Mamak! What not to love about this straightforward yet satisfying dish - adeptly stir-fried over high heat, yellow noodles are laced with egg, deep-fried morsels and bathed with luscious chilli and tomato concoction then finished off with chopped lettuce and a wedge of lime for a tangy touch. The beaming colour and wok hei aroma set the tone before you fork in the bed of noodles that bombard your palate with spicy and savoury flavours. There may be a dime and a dozen yet we have carefully curated ones that are delightful any time, all the time.

Expect never-ending beeline of patrons who watch their favourite dish prepared with excellent fire control and lickety-split spinning and tossing that certainly increases your hunger pangs.

    Mee Goreng CRC

    Housed in Kedai Makanan Seong Huat, this humble stall is fairly a living legacy, spanning over three generations and has never seen a dip in fame. There are two dishes to choose from – Mee Goreng and Mee Rebus, both are impeccably good. The fried mee may appear seemingly simple, yet it scores high in terms of flavours, which matters the most, always. The sauce is the key here, prepared from heirloom recipes guarded with pride and zeal and you can opt for slivers of mutton, beef or chicken to accompany the yellow noodles, tofus, potatoes and prawn fritter cubes. And for a dose of heat, do add their chopped chillies. So good, our former Malaysian King was a patron of this stall.

    Besides their rave-worthy nasi kandar, you have another reason to visit this feted restaurant –mee goreng. If you think you’re expecting a cut from the same cloth, they are eager to prove you wrong. Yellow noodles are fried under scorching heat with sauces, eggs, and assorted deep-fried goodies and then come the real deal, chunks of tender chickens laced together. A sprinkling of fried onions and chopped lettuce complete the drool-inducing platter that sits on a banana leaf to safeguard the wok hei fragrance.
