Lorong Seratus Tahun Curry Mee @ SS2
The weather was freaking hot these few days and we must be insane to have curry mee. Well business is brisk at all the tong sui place and ice cendol place around SS2 that we can’t even squeeze in. Ended up at Lorong Seratus Tahun Curry Mee, well at least it is air conditioned.Everyone has been trooping to a hawker stall in Penang’s quaint Lorong Seratus Tahun to enjoy their curry mee. The two sons of the original owner of the stall decided to branch out and began operating in SS2 Petaling Jaya. The serving staff here speaks really fluent Hokkien, adding a touch of nostalgia to this place.
The menu is pretty much like penang village, penang house or any other penang themed places with prawn noodles, char kuey teow, curry mee, lobak offered.
Prawn Mee (RM5). The broth is sweet and the they never skim on the fresh ingredients. It just lack of some ‘wow’ factors that keep patrons coming back for it.
Curry Mee (RM 5). The bowl of curry mee comes with squid, tau pok and prawns. You are given a option to have the blood puddings (zhu hong) and cockles too. This is just not my type of curry mee. Their specialty is curry without santan, so it tasted so bland and the curry is diluted. I personally prefer Ipoh version of curry mee, just like nam chuan’s or quan fang’s (balai polis curry mee).
The chillies come to rescue. The curry mee tastes better after these chillies are added in. You can adjust the spiciness to your own preferences by deciding how much to be scooped in.
Fu Chow FishBall (RM4.5) The Hockchew fish ball with minced pork filling is not impressive too. Frankly speaking, the curry mee was not on par to the Penang’s stall but nevertheless service was good and we had a good chat with the waiters. Do visit this please if you need to get your cravings for lorong seratus curry mee fixed (without high expectations).
