The next day, we woke up SUPER early to be some of the first ones in the shop. From what my relatives tell me, this place will start selling around 6/6:30am and will sell out, typically by 9/10am. The food was definitely worth it though. Top notch! The apom manis is probably one of the stars at this eatery as they use a cooking method that is quite rare. Through using specialty ordered earthen clay pot and some super hot charcoal, they pour a batter into the pot and place another pot on top. After 30 seconds or so, he opens the pot and flips the partially cooked apom manis and allows it to finish, then serves. It’s a very delicate food; probably cousin to the crepes in France. A pretty awesome hot tip from VKeong is you can call ahead for the Apom Manis from a Mr.Ravi at 012-4707039. The Har Mee was also very tasty; you can definitely tell they did not skimp while making the prawn broth.

As we arrived at Penang, we basically dropped our luggage at the hotel and then hit the ground running. First stop, we went to this place relatively near our hotel (10 minute walk). Kedai Kopi Ho Ping is a small little eatery with multiple vendors outside cooking/waiting for your order.Favorite dish of the series was the Penang asam laksa; a dish packed with flavor. A base of mackerel soup, has a bit of sour from the tamarind, onion to add some sweetness, chili to add some spicy, and finish that off with fish flakes and the sweet prawn paste to really bold the flavors. This bowl of asam laksa has it all.

Parking
We ended up walking here from our hotel, but as you can see from the outside shot, parking looks a bit limited. You may need to drive around a bit to find parking along the street.

Restoran Mee Yoke Lim | Petaling Jaya, Selangor Malaysia
Outside Restoran Mee Yoke Lim
Char Kway Teow Cook
Wonton Mee Lady
Char Kway Teow; pan fried flat rice noodle with bean sprouts, egg, and tiny clams garnished with green scallions
Char Siew Kong Loh Mee; won ton noodles tossed in a special sauce served with bbq pork, yu choi, and some pickled peppers
Wonton Soup; combination of pork/shrimp wrapped in a silk like wrapper floating in some delicious chicken broth, garnished with boiled yu choi and green scallions
As I post this, it’s nearing dinner time here in the states and seeing/recalling all the amazingly delicious food is not helping the cause. lol. *ties belt tighter* But, my goodness, the food is simply amazing. The char kway teow has the right amount of flavor/seasoning and the wok hay was awesome! I wish restaurants here in the states could get that same heat seared taste. The char siew kong loh mee’s noodles were perfect with its slightly chewy texture and the flavors of the sauce were just right; Wonton’s were light yet savory and the wrappings were smooth as silk.
Also, as a quick heads-up of my family/relatives, we are extreme foodies. Although it was great to see family and friends….what we really were there to do (and don’t let them tell you any different) was for the food. lol. Once we finished that amazing meal above, we got up, walked around the corner to the next eatery and we got….
Chee Cheong Fun; Rice noodle, hoisin sauce, sesame seed, fried shallot
Har Mein (Prawn noodle); dual types of noodles mixed with bean sprouts, lean pork, kankong, and prawns sitting in a super flavorful prawn/seafood broth garnished with fried shallots, boiled egg, and dehydrated shrimp.
The chee cheong fun was delicate, the fried shallots gave it a nice textural contrast; finally the har mein’s broth was crazy prawn flavored! I think that’s the thing with all the hawker street food I had in Malaysia; all put strong emphasis behind a quality dish. No one held back on the spices or ingredients. Great moments of eating.
All week 10am – 9pm
Parking
Parking can be difficult with so many businesses being around the area. We had to loop around a few times before finding one. Granted this was around lunch time. Good luck!
