BAMBOO NOODLES | Hong Kee Wan Thun Mee (Replace by Tok Tok Mee Bamboo Noodle) Campbell Street,Penang

The egg noodles here are made with this 200-year-old technique of using a large bamboo pole to knead the dough. As a result, you get the springiest noodles ever! This method is practiced in Southern China and Hong Kong since the 19th century (the 1800's). But in favour of modern technology and machines, there's only a handful of restaurants that stick to this tradition. Witnessing the noodle-making process is literally a step back in time. The best part is the noodles taste equally as special. If you're interested in catching a glimpse of the noodle production, come in the morning around 10am during the weekends.

    Yes! We have seen this on YT! Would Love to try those noodles. We can only imagine the texture. By the way your Broll and VO is getting better and better. We really feel transported there. Everything about those bowls looks so amazing, lightly coated is perfect. That way you can try the noodles.

    The BBQ pork and noodles looked so yummy. It seems so affordable at $1.54 USD.. Here in LA that bowl would be at least $12 USD minimum. The green pickled chilis looked interesting to try as well. You can't go wrong with a couple pork buns to end an afternoon of eating. Great video and love you guys to the moon!! :) 💖😘🌛

    Hey Puri and Sue! We have never heard of bamboo noodles before, but it was so cool to see the process of how they are made. That guy must be so fit doing all that bouncing on the bamboo stick. Seems like there is lots of work and time that goes into making the noodles springy.
