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.

Some of the most famous Mee Rebus Stalls in Penang have been handed down several generations. Famous mee rebus stalls include the one at Seng Lee Cafe of Bangkok Lane, the CRC Mee Rebus, and the Sultan Mee Rebus now operating at New World Park.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
