Ah Koo’s Hokkien Mee : right in front of Medan Selera Padang Brown, this bowl of Hokkien Mee packs a bunch of flavour! Due to their popularity among locals, they sell out quick, so be sure to be there before 11am (not kidding!).

Ah Koo’s is very well-known among the locals for serving some of the best Hokkien Mee in Penang. One of the few shops that operate only during the morning, waiting time is at least 30 minutes during peak hours.

My recent prawn mee discovery was at this corner shop along Jalan Perak called Classic Coffeeshop, opposite the Padang Brown food court. The stall opens at 8am but it’s best to get there before 9.

Our local foodie friend, Mervin brought us to Classic Cafe at Jalan Perak to try this popular Ah Koo’s Hokkien Mee. Many local residents would wake up early just to come here for breakfast.

Many Penangites said that this Hokkien mee (prawn noodles) is very delicious and went out early to eat it today. Thick shrimp broth, small shrimps and pork are all fresh and chewy, very good authentic Hokkien noodles.

Clean airy bright place. Self order at the counter, easy step. Is a really good flavourful bowl of hokkien mee. The noodles are done al dente and without strong alkaline taste. The broth my goodness, is so rich yet is not fishy.

They've moved to a more proper location just next to their old shop. The new one here has 2 floors. The ground is stuffy but the top comes with aircond so it's more comfortable.

One of the best bowls of Hokkien Mee I’ve had in Penang! The broth is rich, flavorful, with that perfect balance of prawn sweetness and spicy kick.

Few people recommended me this place over the few Bib Gourmand hokkien (prawn) mee spots in town, so apparently this is now the place to go for those that are in-the-know. I can see why. Broth was on point. Highly recommended.

Always is the best taste Hokkien Mee for me 🥰. Order until food deliver to table not even 5 minutes. Save a lot time for wait compare to the One Conner . Service here also much much much better then One Conner shop.

Hokkien Mee: 8/10 - Worth a try. Regular Hokkien Mee: RM8, no egg. Add egg: RM1. The soup is rich and flavorful, the chili is quite spicy and delicious.

Ah Koo's Hokkien Mee has changed its name to Classic Hokkien Mee. It moved from one store in the corner to two stores on the same row, so it's easier to find now. The owner has taken over the business himself.
