Love Nutrient Ho Bin (给面子) Cafe @ Bukit Mertajam, Penang.

Ho Bin... sure enough non a call or term that tin hold upwardly easily pronounced yesteryear non-local but never heed on the name; it's basically a noodle-focused store that sells hand-made noodles... well-nigh similar to Pan Mee but round, long together with fatty inwards shape instead of apartment ones. The flavors offered are really locals-oriented, same goes to the toppings together with sides. The dining hall is air-conditioned amongst comfortable seats... prices are wallet-friendly equally expected, pretty much similar the casual dining spot that you lot would larn on a regular basis. Nothing spectacular together with naught extraordinary but naught fancy or pretentious either, simply a simple, straight-forward bowl of Noodles.



Handmade Noodles amongst Fish Ball Soup (Rm 6.50/ additional Rm 1.20 for extra noodles)


Spicy together with Sour Handmade Noodles (Rm 8.90)


Deep Fried Won Ton (Rm 5.90)


Fish Ball Soup (Rm 5)


Peach Resin Tong Sui (Rm 5)

The noodles were non equally bouncy equally nosotros would convey hoped, but they were definitely silky smooth; the classic version was really much Pan Mee-alike... amongst minced Meat topping together with garnished amongst a soft-boiled runny Egg. The Sour together with Spicy version paled when inwards comparison, the flavor-combo did non locomote inwards my opinion. It lacked the "X factor" together with nosotros did non experience the excitement eating it. Overall, nosotros idea this was an okay-average meal... spell in that location was naught at fault, it definitely has naught to scream over either.
