Penang Lor MeeThe Penang Lor Mee at Jelutong Market is one of my favourites (1 September 2012)


The Penang Lor Mee (檳城滷麵), also written Loh Mee, is a Penang hawker noodle soup of a gooey broth made from tapioca flour and egg. The ingredients include mee (egg noodles), bihun (rice noodles), taugeh (bean sprouts), slices of boiled egg, garnished with golden-fried onions, topped with pork (or chicken) slices, and served with chilli and vinegared garlic pastes. Some stalls also include chicken feet, regarded as a specialty and a delicacy. (I actually learned to take chicken feet because of Lor Mee).

Many Hokkien Mee stalls sell Lor Mee on the side, but to get really good Lor Mee, go for stalls that sell only Lor Mee. They are more likely to have the fully range of Lor Mee ingredients.

Ingredients of Lor Mee:

  1. egg noodles
  2. rice noodles
  3. boiled egg
  4. bean sprouts
  5. pork / chicken meat
  6. chicken feet (optional)
  7. innards (optional)
  8. golden-fried onions
  9. vinegared garlic paste
  10. chilli paste

Where to find Lor Mee Stalls in Penang

There are a number of popular lor mee stalls in Penang. The famous ones include the stall at Kedai Kopi Hai Beng at the junction of Burmah and Jones Roads, another, also called Hai Beng, at the junction of Pitt Street and Stewart Lane, and the one at Joo Huat Restaurant along Perak Road, near the Perak Road Market. My favourite, however, is a stall along Ipoh Lane, near the Jelutong Market. Recently (Oct 2019), I also discovered a loh mee stall at Super Tanker Hawker Centre.

About this website



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.
