My quest for the yummiest Penang Curry Mee continues, and this time it brought me to OUG at Sun Sea Kopitiam. To be honest, I found out about the curry mee here pretty much accidentally as we were wondering about at the area when Haze pointed out: “look here’s a Penang curry mee stall”

It took us the third try to catch it in time (Sunday by around noon), and it was worth it!

The curry mee at Sun Sea kopitiam is one of the few original Penang curry mee you can find (others are restaurant Okay, PJ SS2 & restaurant Good Food, PJ old town) that comes with coagulated pork blood. My aim is to find more of the same breed in Klang Valley and see how they measure up against some of the bests in Penang.

coagulated pork blood, prawns, cockles, cuttle fish, tofupok, yes!

The curry mee came with tofu pok, a couple peeled prawns, almost-raw cockles (yums), cuttle fish, coagulated pork blood, and that all important chili paste with slightly charred taste. Everything, together with your choice of yellow noodle or meehun or the combination of both, was served in a santan based broth.

It was awesome, this version of curry mee at OUG is almost on par with my favorite one at restaurant Okay, and probably slightly edges the PJ Old Town’s shop. I love it.

It was in fact, good enough that Haze actually liked it (she usually merely tolerates curry mee). RM 4.50 per bowl, if you’re seeking for a bowl of good old fashion Penang curry mee, you can’t go wrong here.

    You’re embarrassing me by digging up gems in my backyard. But thank you for pointing this out.

    It’s a problem, finding authentic Penang food here. Especially for Penangites who’ve been here for so long even they can’t tell the difference anymore.

    I think that stall is operated by one of the sons of Penang Kuantan road curry mee seller. On some days, you will see him instead of the lady ( the wife? ). Looks like his father.

    Haven’t try the curry mee. I’d usually go for pork noodles, pan mee and chicken rice. The char kuey teow is quite decent too.

    Tua Pui Curry Mee, located just by the road side of Pengkalan Weld in Penang, serve good curry mee. Their curry mee is special as you can “kah liu”, add in extra stuff as you want, of course by paying more.
