Crispy roast pork & cockle-topped curry mee in Kuala Lumpur’s industrial space

Imagine this: it’s 7am and also you’re watching the rain pelting down. And all you’re within the temper for is one thing heat and comforting earlier than you trudge your approach into the workplace. In hopes to really feel alive, you tuck right into a piping sizzling bowl of Girl and Mommy Curry Mee. A slurp of the creamy broth brings you again to life. You really feel renewed. You’re now able to tackle the world.

And that’s precisely how I discovered myself deep inside the industrial space of Chan Sow Lin. Armed with an umbrella, I made my approach by puddles and potholes to the Girl and Mommy Curry Mee stall. I used to be not going to let any type of downpour halt my journey to one of the famed curry mee stalls in Kuala Lumpur. 

Fun reality, Girl and Mommy Curry Mee is run by 60-something-year-old ‘Mommy’ Madam Loi Yim Peng, and her daughter. They have been working their curry mee joint for nearly 20 years and have gained a loyal following from their unique location in Chan Sow Lin Food Court to their present location at the moment. 

What I attempted at Girl and Mommy Curry Mee

I made my solution to one of many metallic tables and took my seat. On every desk is a menu — for these of you is probably not within the temper for curry mee, you possibly can strive their Tripe and Tendon Soup (RM13), Braised Chicken Feet with Coconut (RM12), Savoury Fish Ball Noodle (RM7) or the Chicken Curry Noodle Soup (RM10).

But I used to be right here for one objective: the Roast Pork Curry Noodle (RM10). You can ask in your favorite noodles with the curry mee (the stall affords skinny bee hoon and yellow noodles). However you’re feeling ravenous, you possibly can go for the bigger bowl by topping up an additional RM1. There’s additionally the intimidating sounding Big Mac Curry Mee Noodle which can price you a whopping RM23, however I have to say the bowl of curry noodles is topped with a mountain of blood cockles. It’s good for individuals who merely can’t get sufficient of this juicy seafood!

In lower than 5 minutes, my bowl of curry mee arrived on the desk. In the centre was a small scoop of blood cockles and strips of crispy roast pork. I’ve to confess, I felt a twinge of disappointment after I in contrast the fact of the portion to the image illustrated on the menu. The picture on the menu depicted a extra beneficiant serving of cockles and roast pork. Determined to not be let down by the sight, I gave the noodles a wholesome toss in its creamy broth, and took a chew. 

A sip of Madam Loi’s curry mee concoction is assured to deliver the useless again to life. I used to be handled to a scrumptious, spicy, coconut milk-infused gravy, blanched yellow wheat noodles, roast pork stomach, spongey slivers of rehydrated dried pig pores and skin, contemporary blood cockles and tofu puffs. 

Those of you who can’t deal with the warmth will likely be relieved to know that the broth was not spicy. Instead, it was extra creamy, aromatic and full of flavour. But when you’re like me and luxuriate in a very good dose of spice, a bottle of chilli paste is true there on the aspect. 

I have to admit I significantly loved the slices of roast pork. Despite being soaked within the broth, the pork stomach crackle nonetheless had an honest crunch to it and was on the salty aspect. My solely qualm with the roast pork could be…wishing there was extra of it! 

The blood cockles have been additionally very contemporary as I may nonetheless style the rawness in every juicy chew. I observed the standard curry mee suspect (aka,lengthy beans) was not current within the bowl. But fortunately, the beancurd puffs had absorbed the scrumptious curry broth, and every chew of that was relished.

Final ideas

As I slurped up the final bits of noodles in my bowl, I observed that even at 8am, the restricted tables have been stuffed with hungry clients gobbling up their noodles. Do observe that because of the small seating capability, there tends to be a queue at this stall, it doesn’t matter what time you go to.

Stomach stuffed with curry noodles, I discovered that Girl and Mommy Curry Mee was definitely the right place to heat my spirits on a chilly and dreary day. I will likely be again for extra!

Expected injury: RM10 – RM11 per pax
