Hassan’s Mee Goreng or known as Mee Bodo is a must-try in Melaka. This strange and funny name can be only found in Tengkera, Melaka. The shop is located on the side of the road leading to Pantai Klebang near Kampung Lapan.

Open as early as 7:30 AM, anyone passing by this shop will definitely see a long queue to the road waiting for their turn to buy this viral noodle.

Mr. Hassan Hamid, the founder inherited hereditary recipes from his mother Mrs. Nyaros Abdullah since 1968 and was assisted by his wife Puan Jemaah Isnin and his son Muhammad Firdaus. In a day, they can get almost 500 customers.

The main ingredient still used since 1968 is sambal tumis. About 40 kilograms of noodles are used. Customers have to line up to get eggs, sauteed sambal, and fresh sliced cucumber before the noodles are served. What’s unique about this noodle is that the eggs are fried in the sambal oil. The price of a plate of noodles is very affordable at only RM2.30.

The name Mee Bodo was inspired by one of Mr. Hassan’s friends who stopped to eat at the shop about 20 years ago. A friend of Mr. Hassan jokingly said the name of  Mee Bodo as the preparation of this noodle is very simple. Therefore, the name of the noodles continues to be used to this day.

Operation Hour: Friday-Wednesday (7.00 am-11.00 am daily) closed on Thursday.

Address: 390, Jalan Tengkera, Kampung Lapan Tengkera, 75200 Melaka.
