Nothing beats on a lazy Sunday morning than to stroll along the popular streets of Penang and to try out Penang famous dish – “Hokkien mee”. Arguably Penang most favored dish, Hokkien mee or “Prawn noodles” has long been one of the favorites’ among the locals.
There are two version of Hokkien mee in Penang – One is the soup base and the others are the dry type. Ask any Penangites what is their definition of Hokkien mee andyou’ll definitely get the same answer. It’s a blanched “bee hoon” or “mee” and added with crunchy bean sprouts, kangkung, eggs and sliced prawns with meat laid on top.Together with the good aromatic stock made from prawns, onion, chili paste and served with a sprinkling of fragrant “eu chang” – Shallot fritters, it is the perfect blend which made up the delicious Hokkien mee.
The dry version is called “Hokkien char” by the locals and it is made with fat noodles dried with dark soya sauce and eaten with sambal belacan. A slightly different taste but it is just as delicious.In the olden days, Hokkien mee sellers usually push or cycle their stall along the neighborhood “calling out” loud to tell people about their particular dish, but today the location are fixed at either coffee shops or hawker centreThroughout the island, you can find many places selling Hokkien mee. From Teluk Bahang to Jelutong and from Balik Pulau to Air Itam. The famous ones are perhaps located at Pulau Tikus and Perak Road Market. They have halal or non-halal version of Hokkien mee and is served together with additional top up such as chicken feet, spare ribs, intestines and others ingredients.

After the success of their first shop in Pulau Tikus, Sawara had their second outlet in Krystal Point. The main focus is on its fish steamboat and homemade Yong Tau Fu where the fish paste is made from mackerel fish. And what’s so special is they make their own fish paste.We ordered the 2 person meals where Sawara it is the small clay pot sliced fish in small size. We are served with the soup and it there are fish paste in it. The soup base is kind of milky with very mild of black vinegar fragrant. It is really thumbs up as it is full of sweetness from the soup base. The mackerel fish which is being served in Sawara is also fresh and good. It gets richer as it boils and is perfect to go with some beehoon and rice.
