Penang, no doubt, are well known as “food paradise” for the local Malaysian or even tourist.

Hawker food is an open-air complex, there are stalls that sells varieties of inexpensive food. Penang hawker stalls are pretty well known because these hawkers uses age-old family recipes (traditional) and not to mansion the olden days cooking method and skills too. To all hawker food stalls in Penang, food presentation are not a priority, but the quality of the food is a MUST.

I’m a person that gets hungry around the clock, that why Penang is my choice! There are hawker stalls that open till wee hours. Ok, I may stop introducing! Lets get into real food! In this very first “Supper Hunt” food blog. I would like to introduce to you guys Jelutong Food Market.

Hokkien Mee

This stall has been selling for many years, I remember eating this uncle Hokkien Mee since I was age 10! The Hokkien Mee is comes with pig intestines, which most of the other Hokkien Mee stalls doesn’t. BUT what most important is the soup, this uncle Hokkien Mee soup is sweeter that because he uses prawns to cook the soup. It comes in a small portion, but it is enough for me as some girls may be like me dieting.

Price : Small - RM3.80, USD0.92

Big - RM4.20, USD1
