Tai Lok Mee, Hokkien Mee, Street Food, Non-Halal
The Tai Lok Mee at Chen Ping Jing Noodle Stall. This stall is one of the many along the “hawker-street” in Chai Leng Park, Perai. It offers Tai Lok Mee, Char Hor Fan and Sang Mee. It is a family enterprise consisting of two brothers and a nephew. They have operating here for the past 17 years. They first started in the shop directly opposite their current stall.
Personally, their tai lok mee is among the best in Penang. The thick yellow noodles do not have the alkaline water bitter aftertaste. The gravy is not too thick nor sticky. The dish is well fried and has enough of the “wok’s breath” (wok hei), giving it the desired smoky flavour.
Tai Lok Mee aka Tua Pui Mee and it is called Hokkien Mee in Kuala Lumpur.

The noodles are well-fried to give the dish enough “wok hei” or smoky flavour.
