Just outside this church, you’ll find a little lane (be careful crossing the road) with curry Mee, chee cheong fun and char kway teow. So good!

The curry mee is thin but flavorful, not much coconut milk taste. The CCF is chewy and tasty with the peanut sauce. The CKT has that wok-aroma and very well done. Would not miss this place when in Penang.

Over rated. Will not recommend
The tau pok got one weird taste and it’s affected the soup flavour.

TBH I will not travel the distant to eat them

Curry Mee (Small) = RM6.00
No Service Charge

This is a Michelin Bib Gourmand Food Stall.

This was originally opened by 2 Sisters back in 1946 and has been around for Over 75 Years already. They are so Famous, they're practically considered a National Treasure here in Penang.

Both Elderly Sisters are currently over 90 years Old. They are still around, but due to their Advanced Age, they no longer come to the Stall anymore and are resting at Home ever since the MCO Period during Covid in Malaysia. The Current Stall is being run by a Friendly Young Lady whom I assume is probably one of their Relatives.

Its a Very Small Shop that is tucked away in a Side Road in this Very Vibrant and Busy Morning Market Street along Jalan Paya Terubong in Air Itam. There weren't much Customers at all on a Friday Morning at 7.30am.

How does this Legendary Curry Mee taste?

The Bowl has a Very Fragrant Appetizing Savoury Aroma to it. The Very First Thing that strikes me when I tasted it was that this does NOT taste like Laksa at all!

Having eaten quite a Few Curry Mee in JB, I've always thought that Curry Mee is just how Malaysians call our Conventional Singapore Non-Katong Style of Laksa because they share a Similar Taste Profile.

THIS Curry Mee here is Completely Different. The Broth is Watery and the Predominant Taste is Sweetish, but there is Little to No Coconut Milk at all. Very Little Lemak so to speak. It has a Savoury, Saltish and Light Taste that still taste like a Curry despite having No Coconut Milk.

Not Too Heavy and Not Too Light. Very Unique, I have not eaten Curry Mee that tasted like this. If anything, this really taught me that Malaysia Curry Mee really does have a Unique Taste of its own and is not just a variation of Laksa. (at least from the Curry Mee at this Stall.)

Rest of the Ingredients

The Bowl itself is quite Small but still chock full of Ingredients. There were a Few Slices of Taupok, 4 Small Pieces of Pig Blood, Some Slices of Cuttlefish, Some Taugeh. The Main Carbs were Yellow Noodles and White Beehoon.

There is also 1 Tbsp of Chilli Condiment which tasted like a Mix of Sambal and Taucheo. Not Super Spicy, won't bite your tongue but has some Spicy Heat. The Taucheo side brings a Sharply Salty Earthy Beany Taste to it.

The Taupok Pieces were ok, Small Slices, and of course their Main Job is to absorb the Gravy for a More Juicier Bitefeel.

The Cuttlefish Slices are Surprisingly Soft and Tender and has a Saltish Braised sort of Taste. Usually, Cuttlefish has a Firm, almost Hard Bitefeel but it is totally not the case for this one here. I find it really Smart to use Cuttlefish here because its inclusion can also impart a Seafoody Umami-ness to the Dish.

Pig Blood were just nice. Not too Firm, and Not Too Soft. Noodles were pretty Standard, they slide easily down my Throat although I feel they're just from a Package, not Homemade. The Amount of Noodles given was acceptable for the price.

Although a Small Bowl, it still Felt Filling and I thought was just nice for 1 person. Combining Everything gives it a Nice Heat and it was Very Nice and Satisfying to just Slurp Everything up. I feel the Soul of this Dish is really the Broth which is the Main Component that tied everything together. I liked it so much that I wanted to just drink it dry!

Conclusion and Closing Thoughts

At only RM6.00 (S$1.80) for a Michelin Awarded Dish is Absolutely Worth the Money. This really was a Very Well Made Bowl of Curry Mee and Every Ingredient in this Curry Mee worked together in Harmony and Nothing Clashed.

I also liked how Humble this Little Stall is, and how Affordable it was despite its Legendary Status. If you are here in Penang, I highly recommend that you come to Air Itam and give this a Try. Not only for the Curry Mee, but to also soak in the Atmosphere of this Vibrant and Busy Market Street.
