Love Nutrient Ko Cha Mee (古早面) @ Raja Uda, Butterworth, Penang.

The advert "Ko Cha Mee" brings evocative images every bit i would hold upward able to link that to the delicacies nosotros used to taste during before days. Housed inwards i of the corner job organization lots at Raja Uda, Ko Cha Mee is a noodle specialist that offers something like to "Lam-Mee". For the uninitiated, Lam Mee is closely linked to Nyonya families in addition to oftentimes served during birthday celebrations every bit the dish signifies  longevity; the flavorful broth is unremarkably cooked amongst Prawns in addition to Pork Ribs/ Chicken, complemented yesteryear a dash of home-made Sambal Belacan. Ko Cha Mee offers such a platform to taste the flavors of the past, but if yous are looking for a variety, this is non a identify for yous every bit the small-scale card exclusively specializes inwards noodles (with optional add-ons). Albeit the catchy name, nosotros did non notice the nutrient outstanding nor worth the distance to go all the means to Raja Uda; likely a regular Lam Mee inwards the neighborhood is on par amongst theirs.

Diners pick out two choices- Soup or Dry, the old i is like to the classic Lam Mee patch the latter version seems to hold upward dressed inwards night Soy sauce. We constitute the Dry version fared improve than the Soup variant. Though zippo special, the dish was to a greater extent than flavorful in addition to worked improve amongst the Sambal. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 reverse to the flavorful broth of Lam Mee, Ko Cha Mee's rendition was basically bland in addition to lacked of flavors. It was mildly seasoned in addition to relied heavily on the Sambal. The fact that nosotros ordered Large serving in addition to were served a relatively small-scale component left us underwhelmed.
