Kuantan is illustrious for their curry mee. So, we tried 3 curry mee areas (plus slightly about a other dishes) within the course of our three time out to Kuantan.
Curry mee is comfort meals in Kuantan within the identical plan as bak chor mee in Singapore, Teochew kway teow noodle soup in Johor Bahru, bak kut teh in Klang, you discover the premise.
Of the three we visited within the course of at the modern time slump back and forth, my non-public licensed is at Teng Haw Kedai Kopi. The opposite two bear their very possess staunch following and are standard too – I shall hide them in future posts.
Teng Haw is an one stall kopitiam and it used to be stout dwelling on this Monday morning. That tells us loads about THE ONE stall in Teng Haw.
The country kopitiam atmosphere used to be welcoming and pleasant – what produce I imply? I went spherical taking photography of other folk’s meals and all welcome me warmly 🙏
Menu – curry mee and the widespread drinks. One dish is adequate to pack the kopitiam on a usual basis for over five decades.
Teng Haw is shuffle by the pleasant Foo household who’re Hainanese. They’ve been in this change for more than fifty years. Teng Haw mix and fry their very possess keen hot rempah.
So, no longer surprisingly, Teng Haw is illustrious for their hen curry mee.
As there are slightly about a Hakka folks in Kuantan, the model loaded with yong tau foo pieces appears to be the most widespread.
This used to be the model we had for this spherical. We offered one bowl and requested utensils for four folks to portion. They were busy however did not strategies us doing that the least bit. We explained that we were on a dawn to heart of the night meals path 😂
Curry is the heart and soul of curry mee, and I tidy love the curry at Teng Haw.
It tastes candy, umami savoury and keen hot, with the warmth burning in the course of the coconut milk sweetness and ikan bilis inventory umami. I prefer it that the curry used to be no longer overly thick, being diluted by umami loaded anchovy inventory.
Advanced but neat tasting and the candy, umami, keen layers were successfully discernible.
All of the necessities within the curry, like coconut, anchovy and hot chili pepper are within the neighborhood grown and sourced – original and elevate that exclusive native flavour.
The noodles and yong tau foo pieces appropriate elevate the curry flavour (huh 😅 elevate the curry favour…. so nice 🙄), and makes for a filling, stress-free, scrumptious meal.
Unfortunately, by the purpose we purchased here they had ran out of blood cockles, so we did not bear any 🙄
The sambal adds more umami keen kick however I’m cheerful adequate already with the curry as served.
Teng Haw feature our Kuantan curry mee hunt off on a appropriate originate up. We caught an early dawn flight to Kuantan, and this curry mee truly energised us for the prolonged day of eating, sightseeing, and having a undercover agent forward in Kuantan.
I like to near help help to Teng Haw.
