    Just a thirty-minute drive from George Town is Air (Ayer) Itam , a suburb that’s home to tourist spots Kek Lok Si Temple and Penang Hill . It’s also home to incredible hawkers, including Sister Curry Mee .

    Besides exploring Air Itam Market, the main reason for coming here was to check out the legendary Sister Curry Mee. Had some difficulty locating it initially as the stall was off the main road (Jalan Paya Terubong).

    The Lim sisters, Lim Kooi Heang & Lim Kooi Lai (both in their eighties), have been selling their signature Penang style curry mee for over 60 years under the same tree.

    The curry mee from Air Itam market is very sought after by the locals, and the stall is manned by two elderly sisters. There is no signboard, so you will need to look out for the two sisters crouched on a tiny wooden stool, surrounded by pots of noodles, curry and condiments.

    5 star is to pay tribute to the founder of this stall. Now the food only worth 3.5 star. Had been eating this curry mee since 45 years ago, back that time their curry mee taste so excellent and not many Penang people know abt them.

    Hmm. I wasn't really impressed. And it's not due to the dining environment. I don't judge the surrounding as this is a roadside stall. It's very local actually and gives you the real penang roadside experience rather than the sterile…

    Bold flavors from basic roadside stall. The curry mee noodles have a bouncy bite. The spicy and creamy soup is a great balance of flavors.

    From singapore, Came with much excitement but was sorely disappointed. The broth is pretty bland and the jelly cubes are two dimensional for something that's a cube. Chilli is fine but it can't save the broth.
