Yee Foo Mee Stalls in Penang

Yee Foo Mee (25 August 2012)


Yee Foo Mee is a Cantonese-style egg noodle made from wheat flour. It is also written as Ee Fu Mee, Yee Mee or Yi Mein. The noodle often takes on a straw colour or even a darker shade of brown. Hawkers selling Yee Foo Mee usually also sells Sar Hor Fun and Hokkien Char, as well as Tai Luk Mee on occasion.

In Penang, Yee Foo Mee is a popular hawker dish. It is usually available alongside Sar Hor Fun, and is often consumed on birthdays as "longevity noodles". The noodle is fried with slices of barbecued pork (char siew), egg, fish cakes (hoo pnieh), prawns and chye sim (mustard greens).

My favourite stalls selling Yee Foo Mee in Penang includes one in the evening at the hawker centre along Kimberley Street and another in the morning during market hours at the Bayan Baru Hawker Food Centre. The hawker at Bayan Baru also opens a stall along New Lane.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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