KY eats – Penang Curry Mee at Hoi Kee, Segambut
I’m a big fan of curry mee, the good old Penang curry mee. The type that comes in santan based soup with fragrant chili paste and typically ensures a few smooth trips to the loo if you have it say.. three day in a row.
In Klang Valley, you usually call it curry laksa.
Penang style curry mee at Hoi Kee kopitiam
This particular stall of curry mee was discovered accidentally when we went Hoi Kee kopitiam at Segambut for nasi lemak with pork. It was already finished for that day, I chose to try the curry mee as a substitute, and it turned out to be a brilliant accident instead. 
nothing beats that fragrant sambal and raw cockles
While this version at Segambut does not come with pork’s blood (otherwise it’d be totally perfect), the chili, soup, and other ingredients did come together harmoniously to make a great bowl of curry mee. I also especially love those big juicy RAW cockles. Something that I believe people like Kim would love to have her hands on.

So if you are a curry mee lover like me, this is definitely a place to check out. For those staying at PJ, go to Restaurant Okay, but be there before 9 a.m. But for everyone else (especially those who isn’t so keen on coagulated blood anyway, or can’t wake up before 9), this is the best place to go!
Oh, they are pet friendly too.

I WANT! i haven’t had curry mee for a long, long time…
kimberlycun: make it happen
Damn that looks really good. I had Penang curry mee yesterday at Bangsar Telawi but there’s no blood or cockles, only pork and prawns.
Raw cockles sounds awesome.
Huai Bin: You gotta try this one, penang curry mee actually never had pork, prawns yes.
This place was awesome many many many years ago, then it went down.
From your report I trust that standards have came back up again
Tan Yee Hou: it’s good! and you can’t be old enough to experience the whole cycle of good-bad-good kan? kekeke
hey, this is the laksa/curry mee that’s widespread in my hometown, malacca, too… not just penang! love it, since i’m a cockle maniac
Sean: yaa, penang and melaka shares a lot of common stuff when it comes to food, peranakan influence
Must try this…(5km from my office) but doesn;t come with steam white chicken, otherwise perfect..
soowm: penang style never comes with steamed chicken
See hum! One of those luxuries that I can’t afford to taste anymore.
JD: can la, just .. be bulimic :X
I’m not huge on curry laksa but get me a bowl of assam laksa anytime!
Michelle: 90% of the girls I know loves asam laksa!
Looks awesome… you knows curry laksa is awesome, when it puts a spring in your step and ur bum on a toilet seat…
However, they seem to be a little stingy with the prawns…
s2k_247: oh well prawns are expensive though, haven’t really found any curry laksa place with big prawns.
yea… big prawns are rare… but 1 prawn a bit… sad…
s2k_247: that’s true, I’m sure can probably ask for more.. and just pay more. lol
penang kali mee! I like it, especially for a penangite like myself, its so hard to find one that tastes similar elsewhere. Glad you found one here in segambut!
Isaac: haha cheers!
Did the cat get some raw ‘hum’ as well?
Unfortunately my cat only likes premium fish – cod loin, sashimi salmon and sashimi tuna.
You put Cendawan on a leash and take her on outings? Does she tolerate it? Are you able to take her out for walks too?
Tabea: hahaha no, cendawan eats canned food and a bit of kibbles. He doesn’t walk much on the leash but a lot easier to “catch” if he strays away, usually we carry him lor.
if you guys dig malay style char koay teow, ours is the best in Klang Valley!
Very aunthentic penang style, creamy, slightly sweet char koay teow and not the ‘kicap campur air’ you’ll get around town, mai la pekena!(come la!)
bro rocky: ok where is yours?!
