An Ipoh Curry Mee with Everything … Literally.

Dry Curry Noodle

Noodles (Ipoh’s sar hor fun/kuey teow)? Check. Char Siew? Check. Siew Yoke? Check. Cockles? Check. Bean sprouts? Check. Tau Fu Pok? Check. Long beans? Check.

And how can we not call this plate of noodles (my choice for the dry version of the sinfully rich spicy gravy) a ‘kiasu’ ensemble of EVERYTHING?

if you’re new here, welcome. And if you have not been infected by my addiction for Ipoh-style of dry curry noodles, please, by all means …. go through this LIST.

Now that list is not all encompassing. Not a universal, ultimate list of everything under the Ipoh’s sky. Hence, there will be periodic addition(s) to the list. Today, allow me to introduce this stall in Simee of Ipoh ….

Yam Cake

Yam Cake (Woo Tau Kou) is from another stall, and the aunty’s damn good at promoting her stuff. Really marketing material.Though the steamed yam cake was of the right consistency/texture, and reasonably mushy (in a good way), loaded with cubes of yam, the sweet-spicy sauce was a letdown though.

Pile of Cockles

Bloody lots of cockles. Luckily, NOT bloody per se, but boiled to a cooked degree. And if you love your ‘see hum’ you’d be in seventh heaven.

You see, I am a sucker for all things curry. Throw me a bowl of plain curry (must be robust, flavourful, spicy and not rancid … of course) and I’d be glad to mop up my plate of rice with that.

I might have been an Indian in my past life. Or a sworn curry lover. Or I may be paying penance in this life for hating curries so much in my previous’.

I wrote about the All About Ipoh’s Curry Mee post, and a reader dropped me a hint on this particular shop in Simee of Ipoh (or rather, Kampung Simee … but it’s definitely more developed than a village now). Parents knew about this, and have had several breakfasts here before.

Essentially, they’re my comrades-in-arms now. Discovering new food joints in Ipoh which I am no longer able to hunt for at breakneck speed like the good old days.

Ipoh Hor Fun

Tell-tale sign of a good Ipoh hor fun? Smooth, thinner in width than the usual kuey teow (flat rice noodles) and without the overly-processed taste of chemicals.

Now, if you want an honest verdict, this curry noodle experience was nothing to shout about. I wouldn’t go all out and rave incessantly on the luscious, creamy dry curry paste coating the slithering smooth kuey teow, nor the excessive combination of guilt ingredients thrown into the serving.

Nor the fact that the pile of caloric-horror cost less than RM5 per portion. And how it was deeply satisfying in the sense that, my perpetual craving for spicy, dry curry noodles from Ipoh was appeased, to some degree.

I guess to each his own. Comparing this to Nam Chau, Yee Fatt or Xin Quan Fang, this stall loses out on all merits. But if I have the chance to gorge on this devilish plate of temptations in KL right here, right now, I’ll crawl on all four limbs.

And that’s no joke.

Ipoh White Coffee

The coffee here was good though, resembling more of the Chang Jiang’s brand of stronger, robust kick from the coffee beans and the complicated interplay of flavours from the roasting process. Want more of Ipoh’s white coffee? Try THIS LIST for a very good start.

Other stalls of interest include one famous Turf Club Laksa but was unfortunately closed that morning. And a chicken rice in the afternoon that is supposedly above average, according to Mum. The drinks counter serves up various ice-blended creations too, from Iced Blended Lemon Tea to Ice Blended Coffee.

    …..just a personal recommendation for those who fav. curry/dry curry mee – can give a try to a coffee shop (dun remember the name) opposite canning gdn. market (next to Pan Malaysian Pool outlet). The coffee over there is also good……..

    Honestly, Near Every Sunday I Go There But Now Seldom, Just Last week I try to see if have Any Changes But Nope. Disappointed.. OK to be fair It not that bad and mind you It Above average But to say the best! No. Her Pig Skins is not good do don’t order that. i Find The Flavour Somehow Have Change No so Ommp anymore. Know what I find A New Curry Mee Which I can say It Better. It an Siew Genting. Small Genting. If You are a Ipoh Guy You Know where it is. I let Motormouth tell you. It Call Kapitan Curry me. Very tasty But I have to warn you The lime he give you to squeeze on you curry me, You Have to adjust properly or else it will be too sour. I squeeze the whole lime and it spoil the taste. The Tai Gou mien There is good and cheap and so is the chee cheong fun. really classic chee cheong fun. no fancy favouring. Just classic bak yau, yau (Soy Sauce and Oil) and u can really taste the chee cheong fun flavour. and the wantan mee is also good. (Morning) Afternoon is by foreigner but not bad either. Try and see and i don’t think u be disappointed.
