Asian Cup Rice at Bukit Mertajam, Penang

Traditional Cup Rice at Bukit Mertajam, Penang

Date: 21 October 2012 (Sunday)

Time: 8.00pm Dinner

My second visit to this place after heavy workout in sea rowing. Why I choose cup rice? My first impression on this famous stall of Chicken Pork rice is the rice served in big portion. Instead of big portion, I should say the rice is well compress in the metal bowl. When the rice pour on plate and un-compress it, you'll notice the rice is a lot and start to wonder why you never finish the rice :-p 

Since, I super hungry after workout, then it will be right meal for me and also full of protein since the rice is topped with shred pork and chicken. I been heard about other similar Chicken Pork rice in Cup at other stall in Bukit Mertajam but many can't come close to this one at Jalan Danby near to Chinese Temple (Tua Pek Gong Beow) at Bukit Mertajam. What make this one stand out from other?

It is the amount of shred chicken and pork that added on top of the cup rice. 

They unselfishly give the ingredient and the cost is only RM3.50.

This cup rice is unique from normal roasted chicken pork rice because it served with the special thick gravy that make the rice better. If you're spicy lover, add green pickle chilies, the rice taste heavenly when the "dynamite" explode in your mouth. yum~yum~yum~, mouth watering?

Bukit Mertajam Pak Man Mee Kuah Ketam

The real name for the BM To'Kun Mee Goreng is Pak Man Mee Kuah Ketam To'Kun. This was the same place I explore the Mee Goreng. We came here just for mee goreng but the waiter told us: "Mee Kuah tinggal satu jer, nak x?" Which mean, the Noodle Kuah left last one only, do you want to order?

Of course, we took the last plate of mee kuah and feel exclusive when newly walk in customer disappointment over the sold out of mee kuah....ngek ngek ngek :-p


Found same place as the Mee Goreng. Kaki Bukit of Tok Kun Hill.

It look like Jawa Mee but it is not. They called it Mee Kuah: (Kuah is soup in Malay)

Oh, this Mee Kuah so tasty. The soup is so thick with taste of crab or shrimp or seafood. At first, I taste it like shrimp. But this is not mee udang (Shrimp noodle). When I taste it again, it like seafood soup taste as the soup taste more than shrimp. My mind just can't set it straight even the signboard said Mee Kuah Ketam (crab), The crab bisque soup is so-so good. So orgasmic! 


The problem of the last plate of mee kuah is it a bit chill. If they make hot the crab bisque soup, you probably suck and lick the last drop of the mee kuah... (".)


Normal Mee Kuah cost RM3.50 and with Ketam will be RM4.50 which I think it worth the price.

Found this video introduce Pak Man Mee Kuah Ketam in youtube, the same guy that promote best tasty rojak in the world

Bukit Mertajam To'Kun Mee Goreng

Many people go to Tok Kun mountain hiking and when they are done, many like to stop over at this place for a plate of mee goreng. My first visit to this place, I think is 10 years ago. No hiking, just straight to this place for mee goreng with Ah Hooi. He is my guide in Bukit Mertajam. :-)


Revisit to this place like walking down the memory lane with Ah Hooi last time. This place found at the entrance to Tok Kun hill. A good landmark that you won't miss or use this GPS coordination: 5.346898,100.487201 (btw, I don't know how to use or read the gps coordination, I simply copy from Google map)

Not sure I'm hungry or because my mind-set set the mee goreng here is good. Indeed, the Cherok Tok Kun Mee Goreng really good. if you happen to hike at Tok Kun Mountain, you should try this, forget about the calories you just burn.....:-p

The normal plate without ketam (crab) cost RM3.50 which is a bit high in price for mee goreng, must be the popularity cause the extra. However, with crab is RM4.50 which is cheaper because crab is expensive nowaday.
