Hokkien Mee (Penang Style)
The broth is an awakening — you taste not just the shrimp but the shell of the shrimp, it enlivens your taste buds immediately. A broth of wonders. The noodles are basic but what shines is the broth and toppings. The pork belly is salty and smoky, you taste the charcoal fire — the fattiness melts in your mouth. The crispy pork belly is an absolute must. The little shrimp have so much flavor packed into them, maybe dried or salted then rehydrated.
