What is Loh Mee

Loh Mee is a Penang hawker noodle soup of a gooey broth made from tapioca flour and egg. The ingredients include mee (egg noodles), bihun (rice noodles), taugeh (bean sprouts), slices of boiled egg, garnished with golden-fried onions, topped with pork (or chicken) slices, and served with chilli and vinegared garlic pastes. Some stalls also include chicken feet, regarded as a specialty and a delicacy. (I actually learned to take chicken feet because of Loh Mee).

Many Hokkien Mee stalls sell Loh Mee on the side, but to get really good Loh Mee, go for stalls that sell only Loh Mee. They are more likely to have the fully range of Loh Mee ingredients.

Ingredients of Loh Mee:

  • egg noodles
  • rice noodles
  • boiled egg
  • bean sprouts
  • pork / chicken meat
  • chicken feet (optional)
  • innards (optional)
  • golden-fried onions
  • vinegared garlic paste
  • chilli paste
