Dried chillies are ground and fried with oil giving the dark red colour shown in the pix. The son, Ah Kong’s PJ shop is at the address below: Lorong Seratus Tahun Curry Mee 56, Jalan SS2/66, 47300 PJ Selangor Shopaholics' Paradise (July 10, 2008) - The curry mee you mentioned was there some 15 years ago. Location was the coffee shed at the junction of Assumption Road and Chain Ferry Road. Agreed it tasted the same as Penang Lorong Seratus siblings which have operated more than 35 years ago. There is one "White" curry mee at Kuan Nan Coffee Shop in Chai Leng Park, Butterworth. Put enough chillies, and the taste is great! Jojo loves curry mee (May 8, 2008) -

It operated from the backlane behind the seller's house at Lorong Seratus Tahun those days. The patriach was a very rude man and the story was his tricycle cart was overturned by some furious customers. From that time, the wife was running the show. The standard dropped. They have 3 sons. One selling opposite Anson Road market, called Tasty Coffee Shop, the same row as the former New City Pub. Another son, Ah Kong is now doing this flourishing business in style having his own cafe at Damansara SS2, PJ. A son is operating with his mom at the location of the photograph above, opposite Kin Too Hotel. The standard could not match their father's time. The patriach has 2 other brothers; the eldest was selling inside Anson Road Market, the youngest one was operating at the junction coffee shop of Perak Road and Macalister Road. The latter had retired because his son refused to take over this good business; instead ventured into selling hotdogs. One thing special about this Macalister Road brother's curry mee was in his fried prawns and chillies. Wow, terrific and fantastic! But, the madness was this guy charged RM1.20, RM1.30... RM2.20. OMG, how did he managed his wares by a 10 sen increment? I have recently come across one very similar in tastes to the patriach and his youngest brother. Excellent! The prawns are not of the same preparation, but of equally good standard too - Nite Hawker Centre at Jalan Binjai, Taman Seri Rambai, Bukit Mertajam. <strong>vk: Hi there, I believe I have tried the curry mee in Tmn Sri Rambai you mentioned. It used to my favorite when I was young from Form 2 to Form 6. The taste is really good with fresh prawns and thick, dark chili sauce. You gotta wait a while before the soup gets tasty though, lol. This CNY I hope I get the chance to try it again as well as dedicate a blog post for it too.</strong> This curry mee was very famous, dubbed the best in Penang in the 70s.

Best thing is that the chili is on the table, can put all you want! My number one would still be the one in Kuantan Rd. market. They used to have a night branch at Terengganu Rd., not sure they still do. Besides the one at Kuantan Rd., they also have another one near my house in one of the coffee shops in Island Glades. All the stalls are run by family members. I'll normally order to have it delivered to the soya bean shop. . Soya Bean (with brown sugar) + Curry Mee = cloud nine :D <strong>vk: Kuantan Road and Terengganu Road?? Oh my this is the first time I heard such road names in Penang. Seems like you're a curry mee lover too haha. Nice!</strong> This is one of my favorites. Best thing is that the chili is on the table, can put all you want!
