Tucked away in an unassuming part of town, this isn’t the kind of street lined with trendy cafés or packed with tourists. Instead, it’s surrounded by small godowns, micro-industries, and aging residential homes — the kind of place you’d likely overlook unless you knew exactly what you were looking for.
Inside this humble kopitiam, there’s only one thing on the menu: Penang Hokkien Mee — or prawn mee, as it’s known elsewhere. They open as early as 6:00am to serve the morning crowd, and by noon, they’re done for the day.
What you get here is a no-frills, classic bowl of Hokkien Mee. The broth strikes a nice balance — flavourful without being overpowering, comforting in the best way.
