    Such is the case with Sister Curry Mee , an iconic stall in Penang located within the Air Itam neighbourhood, just a stone's throw away from the market.

    This is a curry mee stall inside a hawker center that was recommended by a Grab driver when I visited Kek Lok Temple, who said, "The exterior isn't beautiful, but the taste is beautiful.

    The curry mee stall is located in the Air Item market. The curry mee comes with tau hu pok, and cuttle fish. As in many Chinese soup-based dishes, the secret is in the broth. I found the broth just average.

    A hearty bowl of Penang White Curry Mee with all the savoury ‘liau’. Portion is not too big and friendly owner is additional plus point. Located inside the foodcourt.

    Authentic food is indeed delicious. When you come to Penang, you must try the authentic Curry Mee. The dish is cooked with coconut milk and a secret chili sauce. It is amazing! #Special Recommendation #Penang Food

    The RM5 soup, like white curry noodles, tasted pretty good... but it wasn't quite the best food yet.

    It's delicious; the broth is especially flavorful with the addition of chili. The price is also very reasonable, definitely worth a try and I'll definitely come back.
