Kedai Makanan dan Minuman Hock Yan, Jelutong

Hock Yan Kedai Makanan dan Minuman (28 December 2013)


Hock Yan (GPS: 5.38889, 100.3123) is a coffee shop along Ipoh Lane in Jelutong, Penang. The coffee shop newly opened at end 2013. Among the hawker food available here include jawa mee, popiah, Hokkien mee, lor mee, chee cheong fun, koay teow thng and Hakka mee. I have tried the Hokkien mee and popiah, both of which I find to be "not too bad" by my own standard.

Hock Yan occupies a corner house. It is very busy in the morning as the front part of the coffee shop is congested with people doing their marketing.

25 October, 2014 Although we have noticed Hock Yan each time we visit the Jelutong Market, we don't really come here for our breakfast. Today, it so happened that the wan than mee stall that we had planned to visit was not operating, so we decided to give Hock Yan a try.

We weren't sure what's good to eat here, so I ordered the Curry Mee while my wife ordered the Jawa Mee and the Chee Cheong Fun. These are how the dishes look like:

The chee cheong fun at Hock Yan (25 October 2014)


You can tell from the first bite whether something is good or not. In this case, I found the curry mee to be too diluted. It doesn't have enough kick for curry mee. As for the chee cheong fun, the rice noodle lacks springiness ("al dente", or khiu3). My wife commented that this may be due to it having lost its freshness.

Of the three items, the nicest was the jawa mee. It wasn't particularly outstanding, but at least it met with expectation of what jawa mee should taste like.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
