Cathay Cafe Super Hokkien Mee
Prawn Mee, Street Food
- Under RM20 per pax
Chiefeater William WL Loo had the super hokkien mee at Cathay Cafe in Air Itam and loved the fat juicy prawns and intense chilli heat


In the Foodie Enclave of Chai Leng Park …. (Penang Main Land), at Yang Way Kopi Tiam, there a well known Char Koey Teow…… which many ppl pointed out to me, from the time I move to Butterworth.
Pre MCO, they only operate from 10am to 2pm, which is not “suitable” for me…. now they are open from 8am.
So this Public Holiday we were Yang Way for our usual Curry Mee (Penang Curry Mee with Seafood – Not Curry Chicken), when we spotted a plate of CKT with 5 Big Prawns as we were walking in.
Tempted we ordered a plate of Char Koey Teow (Standard) for RM8. Which is on the highest price at Chai Leng Park.
The CKT was duly presented to us with 3 Big Prawns….. Very Reasonable, Price wise…. The Taste Test: Wok hei was decent. No Blood Cockles as with all CKT in the area.
Those who like Big Prawns CKT have an alternative without heading to a Kampong House in Bagan Lalang for their Big Prawns CKT fix.
Now the tricky part is to convince the seller to customise it to my liking.
