The signboard 😉

• The Padang Kota Lama aka Esplanade is next to the famous Fort Cornwallis in Penang. 
• Just opposite is the sidewalk by the sea where you can enjoy both the refreshing breeze and view. 
• As with all food courts there are many stalls sharing the business and dining space. 
• In the afternoons, Hameed ‘Pata’ Mee Sotong reign supreme as almost 90% of the people in the food court are his customers.

• While the stall is acceptably clean the rest of the food court is a bit decrepit but that obviously doesn’t affect his business at all. 
• The cook doesn’t prepare each order individually but dishes out the noodles quicker by cooking in big batches.

• Your option here is either the wet mee rebus that comes with gravy or the dry mee goreng. 
• The noodles are beautifully coated with the gravy and cuttlefish; a tad heavy, salty, sweet and spicy. 
• Almost everyone chows down on it fast. There are two versions of the mee, a mee rebus that comes with gravy or the dry mee goreng. 
• The crowd mostly orders the mee goreng topped with a saucy sambal sotong, with soft and chewy (dried) squids cooked in a sweetly spicy sauce. 
• A small plate is RM5 while a bigger portion is RM7. 
• It’s totally worth the wait because Hameed Pata Mee Sotong is one of the faboulous street food in Penang.

• When we eat the cendol, we also got to feel the fabulous and authentic experience eating it while standing beside the stall. 
• The taste of the cendol is also not too sweet and when we mix it together with the kidney beans, the taste is speechless. 
• The cendol is served fresh so the shop is able to retain the taste and the quality of the cendol. 
• The cendol is definitely a must have street food in the hot weather of Penang because it helps us to cool down. 
• Everyone can taste the cendol as it is halal and suitable for all ages of people.
