Found the ultimate Pan Mee in Penang! 🫶❤️😋
Achievement unlocked 🎉! It’s official: this pan mee easily rivals my all-time favorites back South. 😁
Pan mee is everywhere in the South, but it’s still a fresh face in Penang’s epic hawker scene and not widely available yet. My MIL kept raving about this spot, and honestly, I don't know what took me so long to finally slurp a bowl. 😅
One sip of the broth and I knew this is a killer—pure anchovy umami goodness, exactly how a good pan mee should be! The noodles had that perfect springy bite, and the slightly tangy chilli sauce (which I forgot to photo, oops! 😅) made every bite pop.
Both the soup and dry versions were absolute perfection. Pro tip: go for the wide noodles if you love a chewy bite, or the thin ones for a tender texture.
