Penang Food Paradise #1 : Penang Lor Mee

Lor Mee! This Chinese-inspired dish served with starchy gravy with yellow noodles and rice vermicelli (known as bee hun). This dish is eaten by and also very well known to the Hokkiens especially those who speak Min Nan dialogue. The ingredients added into the noodles are usually ngo hiang, fish cake, fish, round and flat meat dumplings (usually chicken or pork), half a boiled egg, and other items depending on the stall and the price paid. Vinegar and garlic can be added as an optional item. The dish is also eaten with red chili.

There is a place that is a very first location that rans into my mind when you talk about Lor Mee. This shop named Kedai Kopi Seng Thor is the coffee shop where I have my Lor Mee since I was just a small kid even until now, I am still lovin' it! As said it usually comes with red chilies and the garlic is an optional when you may request for it if you wish to. The coffee shop is a corner lot located at the turning point of Lebuh Carnarvon to Lebuh Kimberley. The price per bowl is RM2.50 onwards. It opens in the morning until noon depending on how huge the crowd is.
