I had the Super Tanker Loh Mee today. I was very much looking forward to try it, after reading the post by Andy Tan about it in Hawker Food Planet. I arrived in the morning, and straightaway found the stall.
I ordered two large bowls, at RM5.30 each. This is how it looks like.
Super Tanker Loh Mee, Towne, Penang (28 October 2019)At RM5.30, there was only one chicken foot. And it wasn't as big as on Andy Tan's bowl (or perhaps the bowl was small, making it look big). In comparison, Andy Tan ordered the regular size bowl (RM4.50) with an added on chicken feet (RM1 for four), given a total of RM5.50. I think that is more worth it than the large bowl with only one chicken foot.
The taste grows on you. Meaning, at first it felt only so so, but as I continued eating, it got more agreeable. However, my wife pronounced that it was too salty. I didn't feel it to be too salty, perhaps I have other issues.
Apart from getting just one chicken foot, my other complain is "not enough stuff" or "boh3 kau1 liau33". That's because I was making a direct comparison with my favourite, which is the Jelutong Market Loh Mee, which sells for just RM4.50 (large), and comes with several pieces of chicken feet, and also has char siew, intestines, pork skin and deep-fried lard.
At first I didn't even notice the pork skin at this lor mee, but towards the end, the pork skin appeared at the bottom of the bowl.
Will I have this loh mee again in the future? I might, if I find that it is more expensive than my favourite, and has less stuff in it. The taste is not bad, but that's all that I can say.
