    Somewhere hidden amongst the stalls is the famous Chulia Street Curry Mee. Below is the famous Curry Mee stall. Look at the amount of fried bean curd there is in the pot! Its full of it!

    The curry mee stall next to the wonton noodle stall. Both are bustling and weighed down with orders. Despite being told that there would be a long wait, we got our curry noodles within 20 mins.

    The one I went to was located along Chulia Street. The crowds there were usually big and waiting for a bowl of noodle would take up to half an hour or more. The Curry Mee soup is not like those selling elsewhere.

    Chulia Street Curry Mee is a favourite in Penang that many grew up eating. The soup at Chulia Street Curry Mee has just the right amount of coconut milk that doesn't overpower the flavour of the shrimp, while the chilli paste is fragrant…

    If you love Chulia Street Curry Mee, you can have it in the afternoon. The richness of the salty-savory santan-scented soup and their signature large fishball is maintained.

    Reddish curry mee with taufu pok, sprouts, cuttlefish, shrimp, bloody cockles and the one and only precious big succulent fish ball. Another must have fresh Starfruit & Sour plum lime fruit juice .

    Right next to the Wanton Mee stall, this busy night stall serves some lovely Curry Mee . Just like Hokkien Mee , it comes with 2 types of noodles and a curry-powder broth mixed with various extras. A small bowl costs RM3.

    The best curry mee in Penang, and I've tried it all over the island. They follow the grandfather's recipe, with a rich and creamy coconut milk soup.

    I finished a day of eating with a visit to Chulia Street night market stalls, which can be found at the junction of Carnavon St and Chulia St I was in search of the curry mee that I had read about.

    Up to standard Penang style curry mee. 1⃣ Order: Small bowl curry mee, no add on. 2⃣ Taste: As curry mee hunter, first, the ingredients are fresh and generous. The soup is light so whoever love light taste may like it.

    A yummy bowl of curry mee - beehoon and yellow noodles are well cooked with a variety of ingredients included not limited to prawn, beancurds and cockles. Curry broth is aromatic and flavoursome, thick yet very palatable.

    I was surprised by the price first, MYR 7 for a small bowl of curry mee, and then, the taste. The spice was served separately so that I could adjust the amount to my like.

    Fantastic white curry mee. Bought one small packet to try, end up not enough and went back for second servings for the entire group. Highly recommended to try. They open after 4pm.

    The stall is situated along the road. You may sit at any nearby kopitiam and they will serve the food to you. The white curry noodles were great and a good portion of cockles.

    When the curry was served I was sceptical as the soup looks watery. However when u mixed the paste placed on the spoon into the soup, the overall curry noodle was tasty
