Speaking of Penang hawker, New Lane or Lorong Baru is a famous food street in George Town, Penang. As darkness crawls in, the street is flooded with hawker stalls or street vendors serving a huge array of local delicacy. Goh Chew Coffee Shop that sits less than 50 m from Sunway Hotel is also packed in the evening and at night. Little that I know during the day until our fried brought us there after a morning hike.

Serving only 'fried fish bee hoon mee' or better elaborated as stir-fried rice vermicelli/yellow noodles with deep fried fish, Goh Chew Coffee Shop is a popular venue for breakfast in George Town, Penang. Occupied tables with people is a common scene as one walks into the coffee shop especially on weekends and public holidays.

Growing up with economy 'char bee hoon mee' (stir-fried rice vermicelli and yellow noodles), this savory dish is not something new. The rice vermicelli and noodles are prepared by stir-frying with vegetables and sauces such as light soy sauce and black sauce. Yet, it is an innovation to add on with crispy fish. The mouth-bite pieces of fish are prepared by dipping in batter followed by deep frying. Instead of serving solely carbohydrate, one can also enjoy with protein namely fish and plenty of fiber from the vegetables such as cabbage and yu choy.

Most customers would either pick a platter of stir-fried rice vermicelli (bee hoon) with yellow noodles (mee) to be served separately with a platter of deep fried fish. Alternatively, one can opt for a platter of all-in-one, a mixed of stir-fried rice vermicelli/noodles and fish. They also take the special order for instance stir-fried bee hoon mee alone without fish or stir-fried bee hoon mee with more vegetables.

Despite the long list of order, the service is prompt. We prefer the special order as they were served with more sauce. Guess Goh Chew will be added on our list to hang out for breakfast!
