Solid bowl of authentic Hokkien Mee with fried mantis prawn. New spot added to my list. Owner was cheerfully chatty and was very particular making each bowl fresh. The attention to detail while setting up each bowl was perfect. Definitely coming back again.

Hidden gems in Air Itam Penang. Very flavorful broth, soup is really delicious to the last drop. Definitely a place to go for a good bowl of hokkien mee in Penang. The prawn mee owner is very passionate and particular bout his food and that explains the delectable in every bowl. Highly recommended

Prawn Mee is very flavorful and delicious. The sweetness from the prawn broth is unbeatable. Not easy to find a car park. Better take grab to come here during weekends and holiday.

Hokkien Mee here is good, we found it from social media, you have to come & try it, broth is super good. Will come for 2nd round soon. Boss name is Amo & super chatty, feel very relax to hear how he started from his Mum selling at a stall near Chung Ling School.

Thick broth, fresh prawns, tasty ingredients and silky noodle. A must try Hokkien Mee nearby to Penang Hill. Flavors bring back Childhood memories of what an actual Hokkien mee should taste like.

Broth was very rich and flavourful. Went around Penang trying all the popular hokkien mee and found this the best. Generous serving of noodles for a small bowl. Really good. A must try if you can make the trip.
