Loh Mee is never my favourite. There are only a few Loh Mee stalls that make decent Loh Mee. This Hainanese Loh Mee at the corner coffee shop located at Jalan Jones and Jalan Burmah originally comes from the coffee shop next to the Kuan Yin Temple in Pitt Street. According to the sign, their Loh Mee has been around since 1957.
So you can bet that they are making the original Loh Mee.
They leave mugs of vinegared garlic and chilli paste on the table. So, I poured a large amount because I love the sourish garlic. These garlic, vinegar and chilli will give the very goey, sticky gravy of the noodle its’ taste.
Loh Mee is normally garnished with pig’s liver, skin, intestines, ears, tongues (have I made you puke yet?) and hard boiled eggs.
If the pig’s internal organs turn you off, you can always opt for simple stuffs like pork and hardboiled egg. I believe not many other states serve their loh mee the way Penangites do. So, give Loh Mee a try next time you are in Penang. The slurrpy gravy plus the sourish sauce are special.
