They offer one of the best Hokkien Mee in Penang. You can add extra toppings to the noodle. I like to have extra Roasted Pork and Egg to be added into the noodle.

15. Old Green House Kopitiam

While it was the famous prawn mee that drew us and made us try this place, it was the steamed chicken and bah kut teh that blew us away. We personally do not like the famous prawn mee here, as it’s over priced and not delicious as before.

Must try dishes are bah kut teh and steamed chicken with porridge.
