888 Hokkien Mee, Bayan Baru

888 Hokkien Mee, Bayan Baru (29 September 2012)


888 Hokkien Mee (GPS: 5.32663, 100.29123) is a coffee shop in Bayan Baru that sells only Hokkien Mee. It operates daily from 5:30 pm to 12:00 midnight. The coffee shop occupies the back portion of a house facing Jalan Mahsuri.

Parking is a bit of a problem. Being a low-abiding person, I would not advise you to park along Jalan Mahsuri, as there is no parking allowed. Instead, there is ample parking space along Lorong Mahsuri 10. From there, it is just a short walk across to 888 Hokkien Mee.

In addition to the regular Hokkien Mee, you can also order Lor Mee or a combination Hokkien Lor Mee. You can also call for extra ingredients such as spare ribs, additional noodles and so on. Having tried 888 Hokkien Mee, I find the taste quite good, though a bit salty. Portion size for the regular bowl is also quite small. The spare ribs is however succulent and tasty. My wife is however completely unimpressed with this Hokkien Mee.

Lately however, I have been hearing that the taste has deteriorated and the service is unfriendly, and based on the comments (https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153226900128136&set=gm.672561196196019) on my Facebook Group I think I will not return to taste test this stall yet.

Getting there by bus

There is a bus stop along Jalan Mahsuri served by Rapid Penang bus 306.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
