Mee Rebus Stalls in Penang

Mee Rebus (24 May 2008)


Penang Mee Rebus is a spicy cooked noodle dish sold by Indian Muslim hawkers called mamak in Penang. Mee Rebus is usually sold at stalls that also sell mee goreng as well as pasembur. The ingredients of all three dishes are almost interchangeable, except the pasembur is served with shredded cucumber and turnip instead of noodles. Many mamak hawkers also sell mee rebus and mee goreng at Chinese coffee shops as well as Chinese hawker centres, as the dish has gained much popularity among the Chinese in Penang as well.

Mee Rebus is a popular Penang hawker food that can be taken for breakfast, lunch and to a lesser extend, dinner. The noodle used is yellow egg noodles (mee) while the ingredients include potatoes, taukua (beancurd), bean sprout, prawn fritters, niau-choo chi (flour-batter fritters), egg, and squid.
