Johor Bahru Eat: Oh Yeah Noodle House (欧爷面馆) Penang Delights @ Taman Pelangi

29 July 2024

Oh Yeah Noodle House (欧爷面馆), located in Taman Pelangi (Taman Maju Jaya) near Plaza Pelangi, serves a number of Penang delights and other popular local dishes. The Pelangi outlet is the flagship and a second outlet was opened in Skudai.

Oh Yeah Noodle House’s signature noodle dishes are Penang Hokkien prawn mee (槟城福建虾面) and its variants with big prawns and pork ribs. There are Penang loh mee (槟城卤面), Penang white curry mee (槟城白咖喱面) and also the newly-added Penang char kway teow (槟城炒粿条), which is available on Friday to Sunday only. Other local noodle dishes and traditional Hainanese breakfast (kopi, toasts and soft-boiled eggs) are available too.

The signature Penang Hokkien Mee with Pork Ribs (槟城排骨福建虾面) is Penang Hokkien mee added with pork ribs. The Penang Hokkien mee alone uses yellow noodle and rice vermicelli in sweet-savoury-spicy prawn broth and topped with a number of small prawns, thin slices of pork, fish cake slices, beansprouts, half a braised egg and fried shallots. The pork ribs are super-tender, delicious and separate from the bones easily. The broth is so flavourful and tasty and is impossible not to finish it.

The Penang Loh Mee (槟城卤面) is served with thick yellow noodle in thick eggy broth and topped with thin slices of pork belly meat, sliced fishcake, half a braised egg and fried shallots. The viscous dark broth, added with some vinegar and white pepper, is the main essence of the noodle dish. This is another flavourful dish to go for.

Similarly, Oh Yeah’s loh mee can be added with either pork ribs or big prawns. The Penang Loh Mee with Pork Ribs (槟城排骨卤面) is the loh mee dish (above) added with ultra-tender pork ribs.
