If you’re hunting for the best Beef Lamian Noodles in Penang, look no further than China Muslim Mee Tarik Tangan兰州拉面 at Prangin Mall.
This place quietly became my go-to whenever I’m running errands around Komtar.
Clean, casual, and surprisingly calm for a mall eatery.
It has both booth seating and round tables where you can watch the chefs pull noodles right in the kitchen.
I tried copying them once.
Don’t laugh.
But let’s just say my noodle-pulling career is still on hold.
The staff didn’t even flinch.
The restaurant is run by a Chinese-Muslim couple from China.
The chefs, all from China specialize in hand-pulled Lanzhou Lamian noodles.
Over several visits, I’ve tried tomato egg noodles, dumplings, and fried rice.
The tomato egg noodles are a favorite.
Simple, comforting, and a little taste of China while still in Penang.
Portions are huge, prices are very affordable.
Once the lady owner told me she wants every customer to leave full and happy.
You can taste that thoughtfulness in every bite.
I’ve always been a noodle girl at heart.
Friends know this about me.
I’ve always been a noodle girl at heart.
My friends know this.
I love noodles, dumplings, and bread far more than rice.
They’ll probably roll their eyes reading this because they’ve heard it before.
I’ve travelled to Guangzhou, China.
The Cantonese food there was incredible.
Still, I found myself missing a good bowl of noodles.
That’s why China Muslim Mee Tarik Tangan always feels familiar to me.
Signature Beef Lamian Noodles
Now, the main attraction: the signature Beef Lamian Noodles.
The bowl is enormous, and I honestly thought, “No way I finish this alone.”
Yet somehow, it disappears.
Hunger? Definitely. Magic?
Possibly greed!
The noodles have a gentle tug when you bite into them, soft enough to enjoy but not al dente.
The beef is sliced thinner than traditional Lanzhou style.
The radish is cooked just enough to stay firm rather than melting in your mouth.
This drier, firmer texture suits their local preferences perfectly.
The clear broth is light and clean with a faint sour zing from Chinese vinegar.
With a dash of chili oil the soup gets just enough kick.
Every bite feels balanced, comforting, and even a little playful.
Watching the chefs pull noodles is mesmerizing.
I did try mimicking them again, guilty as charged.
This time, I playfully lifted the noodles as high as I could while holding my phone in the other hand to take a photo.
And the staff just went on with their business.
I like to think they were secretly impressed. Maybe.
China Muslim Mee Tarik Tangan
What keeps me coming back to China Muslim Mee Tarik Tangan isn’t just the noodles.
Every bowl tells a story.
Watching the chefs, smelling the broth, tasting the noodles—it’s a tiny escape to China.
Even dishes like dumplings or tomato egg noodles feel special.
And if you’ve never won an eating contest before, finishing these generous portions will make you feel like a champion by the end.
If you love authentic Chinese noodles, hearty portions, and meals that feel personal, this is the spot.
You’ll leave full, happy, and probably bragging to your friends about that bowl of Beef Lamian Noodles you conquered. LOL.
