Curry Mee

Lorong Seratus Tahun Curry Mee

55 Lorong Seratus Tahun, George Town.
Open 7.30am to 2pm. Closed on Thursdays but open on all public holidays.

THE 31-year-old family business is now run by the Moey sons, Kok Pheng, Kok Keong and Kok Kong. There is another outlet at 72-H, Jalan Anson (it’s open from 9am to 5.30pm and closed on Thursdays). A bowl of curry noodles here comes in a pale and watery stock with just a hint of coconut milk, unlike the thick, coconut milk-enriched curry stock elsewhere.

It is served with their special chilli paste, a secret concoction of ground dried chillies fried in oil, which is what gives the noodles their aromas and spicy flavours. This version of curry noodles has become so famous in Penang that it has come to be regarded as Penang’s very own curry mee, with toppings of blood cockles, cubes of pig’s blood jelly, cuttlefish, prawns and tofu puffs.
