The curry mee stall is at the Air Itam market, next to a small river. The curry mee is managed by two elderly sisters, around 60s or 70s of age. Yes, they have aged over time and they have been there for long time.

All the ingredients are put on the floor instead of any make shift stalls. Their ingredients are all cooked upfront from their home before they bring over and spread out around them.

The curry mee soup is heated up slowly using charcoal pot and served to customers one by one. Oh, by the way, it is easier for you to make your order squatting down as well, not only because it is more convenient but also a respect to the elders, at least we feel it that way.



The curry mee tasted fresh and not too thick or creamy either. The soup itself is not that spicy and you can add extra chili if you want to. You will also get cuttle fish in the curry mee. Besides, curry mee, the lady also sells fried bihun.



The experience of eating curry mee at the place is unique although you can opt to sit and eat on a table. There are limited seating places available but you can sit at opposite coffee shop and get delivered to you by yourself. For those coming here the first time, you will think it is kind of gross and unhygienic that food preparation is done this way.



There is alternative to that as well. The sisters actually have a successor and it is few steps away walking down the street. The successor looks cleaner as they have an actual stall and seating places where you can enjoy the curry mee properly.

There are seats under big umbrellas behind the stall or you can also opt to sit inside the house where there will be tables and chairs as well. (we would recommend to sit inside... too hot outside)



This curry mee is not oily and the soup is not curry based like the one at BM Yong Xu Xia. In fact, the color is rather whitish but the owner normally adds a spoonful or two of curry gravy into the curry mee for some flavors.



Of course you can add chili to your preference too.



For Tuai Pui Curry Mee, you can have the options of adding extra ingredients on top of regular ones like chicken curry, prawn, chicken liver, chicken legs, fish balls etc. Of course these ingredients come with extra price.



For example, adding a prawn will cost you RM5 each but given the size of that prawn, it is that of market rate. The cockles are also quite fresh as they are plucked and cleaned by the helpers there.



This stall is open daily except Wednesday and at the end of the lunar month. They will operate from 9am till 6pm during operations. A regular bowl of curry mee here sells at RM2.50.



First stop completed with o ur stomachs asking for more. So stay tuned for part 2!

Curry Mee

Thus, you do not need to put in chili sauce (even though you can do that if it’s not spicy enough). To me, this is the real curry mee.



The taste is quite good which without much of the chili flavoring and the curry does taste similar to vegetarian curry too. The bowl of curry mee does come with generous portion of ingredients as you can see in the picture, pig’s blood, tau pok, long beans, cockles etc.



Besides curry mee, this stall also sells boiled baby octopus. Yes, yes… you heard me right, the eight legged thingy. There are not many places that sell baby octopus but this place is one of them. It comes with chili sauce and tnee cheoh sprinkled with grounded nuts for you to dip.

A regular bowl of curry mee costs RM2.50 while a large one is priced at RM3.00. The stall opens daily from noon till evening.
