10 Best Loh Mee You Need To Try In Penang
1. Ah Khoon Loh Mee
The most famous place to get yourself a plate of loh mee would be nowhere else but this spot right here, located over at the mainland which is worth every mile you’ll be driving.

2. 888 Hokkien Mee
Both tourists and locals have endless praise for this spot because of the appetizing hokkien mee, but what about loh mee? Often forgotten to be added onto the list of must-order but the scrumptiousness should never be doubted.
