Hi Lingzie, I have always love Penang and the food there and yes, I remember Ayer Hitam, Pulau tikus, Gurney drive etc….sure love the poh pia, oh chien, rojak….not to mention the gentle charms of Penang women.

Old days used to enjoy dancing at the E&O, then have supper at Gurney drive, then take a drive around Penang Island around 1am…if its a moonlight night and a sarong kebaya, long hair friend with me, ha ha.
You have a great week, best regards, Lee.

Its has been a while since I have been there mainly because I cant seem to get up so early. The hokkien mee stall usually starts packing by 10am so if you are interested to try, be early.

J2kfm – i think the roti babi store is just opposite swee keong coffee shop. There use to be a good roti babi store at the coffee shop opposite the open car park but has sinced moved. If you like roti babi, try the one at Cathay and Poly Cafe. Write to me if you need directions.

The Hokkien mee is good and the waiting time is shorter compare to the one in Jalan Bawasah.

This place is always full to the brim despite the old-style interior! (but that’s what makes Penang coffee shops full of charm!)

Again, I always look forward to the thick, dark flat noodles when I read the magic words “Hokkien Mee” and get surprised when I see this instead. Hehe, I need to travel to Penang and have some of this regularly so that my response becomes instead, “Which type of Hokkien Mee?”
