Pan Mee wasn't that popular in Penang and is actually more well known in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of the country. There are not many places in Penang selling Pan Mee but in KL, the stalls are easily available. However, the popularity is catching up in Penang currently. And one of the best pan mee is definitely from I Mum Mum noodle house. :)
The restaurant is always crowded and therefore the seats are pretty limited. Even if we are able to secure the seats, each table will only have a limited and small space in order to cater the big crowd. Not really an ideal place to catch up with friends to chit chat for a long time due to the crowd and noise but definitely a great place for our tummy.
Pan Mee is normally associated with minced pork meat and ikan bilis but I Mum Mum's menu does cater for meatless pan mee too. It comes with a variety and can be generally categorized as soup type, dry type and spicy types.
It was Wesak Day and we went ahead with the meatless options in the menu.

There are also side dishes or snacks to order. The one that we ordered was bean curd stick. They are really crispy and taste delicious.

Chilli, sambal and sauce that can be taken with the noodles without extra charge |
Big crowd as always |
There are a few branches of noddle house all over Penang. The prices are definitely affordable, taste is great and portion is reasonable. Highly recommend for those who have not try it before to give it a try in your next eat out or when you visit Penang :)
