Loh Mee

 



Lor Mee or Loh Mee is a type of hawker food. One of my favourite dishes in Penang. It's made with noodles in a thick, sticky broth cooked from tapioca flour and egg. The dish typically includes egg noodles, vermicelli, bean sprouts, boiled egg slices, and a choice of either pork or chicken slices, depending on what the hawker offers. It's topped with crispy fried onions.

You can customize the spiciness by adding chilli and vinegar garlic paste, usually, they are given in a spoon on the side. 
Some stalls also offer an extra side dish, braised chicken feet which you can buy separately. This is the favourite among the Chinese community.

This is a must-try dish in Penang, and it's not easy to find it outside of Penang.
