boon's log 1809.07: Foodie update - Hai Oan Penang Hokkien Mee

In my previous update on Penang's Top Ten Hawker favourites / hangouts, I mentioned Hai Ann (or Oan)'s Hokkien Mee. Here's are more details... and photos.


Hai Oan, Burmah Road, Penang

CL is back from Perth for family reasons and is staying over at our place. We decided to head down to Hai Oan for breakfast - the place where there is something for everyone.


Hai Ann (Oan) Hokkien Mee Uncle

No, I do not know his name, even after all these years eating there. I find it kinda odd to just spring the question at him, out of the blue, "Uncle, Lu eh mia si hamit?" Anyways, he will always remain as our Hokkien Mee Uncle.


My personal favourite - Loh-cham-Teng

Though he is known as our Hokkien Mee Uncle, our favourite is still his Loh-Cham-Th'ng (Loh mee & Hokkien Mee Mix). We normally upsize it, adding bak kut (pork ribs).


Char Kueh Kak

IL's favourite is the Char Kueh Kak (fried raddish/carrot cake with beansprouts and eggs), which is sold not in the shop's interior, but by the roadside, next to Hai Oan. It is self-service, if you want to enjoy it in Hai Oan - so, you will need to do a little bit of walking.


Loh Bak, though not the best, but still desirable...

You can practically find Loh Bak at any hawker centers / shops in Penang. The one at Hai Oan, though not the best in my list, but is still desirable - CL's favourite.

Ab's favourite at Hai Oan is the Koay Teow Th'ng. I did not manage to snap a photo of this this round - perhaps next time.
