Bridge Street Hokkien Mee (GPS: 5.32829, 100.28427) or "Kio3 Thau2 Hokkien Mee", is a coffee shop selling Hokkien Mee in Sia Boey, Penang. The name "Kio3Thau2" means "at the head of the bridge", in reference to its location next to Anson Bridge, on the north side of the Prangin Canal, at the start of Bridge Street (now known as Jalan CY Choy). In addition to Hokkien Mee, the stall also sells Lor Mee.
Having heard of the Bridge Street Hokkien Mee, I gave it a try on 15 December 2012. The surroundings do not appear very hygenic - I can see an elderly lady preparing the prawns beside the Prangin Canal. Apart from that, the stall itself is not dirty. The opens daily except for Monday, and operates from 7:00 am in the morning to 2:30 pm in the evening. Apparently the stall has appeared on the CNN Travel webpage, so that's the recommendation from a foreign tastebud. In my opinion, if you are willing to overlook the surrounding hygiene, you will find that the taste is not bad, though a bit too salty.

Update
The Bridge Street Hokkien Mee opened a branch in Bayan Baru from 1 February, 2013. However, if I am not mistaken, that branch has closed down.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
