    The 'Hock Kean Char' is located inside the MPPP Annex Pasar Air Itam"/Food Court which is just opposite of Air Itam Wet Market at Jalan Pasar, Penang. The couple has been operating the 'Hock Kean Stall' for more than 30 years.

    My classmates were very kind to drive me out to enjoy Air Itam Market Food Court Hokkien (Prawn) Mee this morning. This stall is run by a Std One schoolmate from La Salle.

    Ayer Hitam Market has been gaining a bit of popularity as the stopover for people visiting Penang Hill and Kek Lok Temple as it is at the foot of these 2 places.

    we reached this non-airconditional food court on weekdays at about 8pm. There were a lot of parking spaces at the roadside. There were plenty of empty tables in the food court. A bit warm in the food court.

    It was my first time having the hokkien char. I was pleasantly surprised, doesn't look like much but it packs flavour! The noodles were stir fried in prawn broth.
