The KL Curry Mee 🍜 here is Very Highly Praised by Johorkaki and even described several times in his Review as "Crazy Rich". 🤔






The Actual Place is a Food Stall located within 好记 Hoa Kee Kopitiam which itself is quite a Big Place. Although not Full House, it was Quite Crowded with Locals at 9.00am on a Friday. 🌞 There are Multiple Food Stalls here providing a Wide Variety of Dishes. 😋

The Chilli that comes with this has a Strong Lemongrass Taste. 🌶️ Not Particularly Spicy although the Heat does linger abit. 🌶️

Really, I think the whole thing is more a Delivery Package for the Lemongrass.

When the Dish was first served up, I was immediately impressed. 👍 Even for the Small Size I ordered, this was Seriously a Very Big Bowl of Curry Mee 🍜 and the Amount of Noodles are Very Generous. 

The Curry Broth is described as "Crazy Rich" by Johorkaki. 🍲 Appearance wise, it does look Rich and Thick but I personally found the Actual Broth to be Watery with No Gritty Texture. 🤔 Its Creamy and Not Bad tasting and I felt it to taste like a Milder Version of our SG Laksa. 🇸🇬🤔

Don't get me wrong, I agree with Johorkaki on alot of things, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to disagree with him on his "Crazy Rich" verdict for this one. 🤔 Coconut Milk is definitely there, but feels Quite Subdued actually. 🥥🤔

Personally I don't feel this is as "Crazy Rich" as he described. In fact, I feel this Broth will actually appeal more for people who don't like Too Strong Coconut Milk for their Curry Mee / Laksa Broth. 🥥🤔

The Ingredient Toppings are Several Pieces of Fried Pork Skin, 🐷
Tau Pok, 🟧 Green Beans 🫛 and 2 Small Pieces of Bite Sized Char Siew. 🐷

This is the First Time I'm seeing Fried Pork Skin used in a Curry Mee / Laksa. 🐷🍜 I don't think this is an Ingredient used in Singapore Laksa and I also don't recall seeing this in 李记太平鲜蛤猪血咖哩面 which is another JB Curry Mee Franchise I ate the other time in Bukit Indah. 🤔 

This Fried Pork Skin 🐷 Together with Taupok 🟧 were a Very Good Addition because of their Unique Property to suck up the Gravy like a Sponge. 🍲😋 Never knew Fried Pork Skin has such an Absorbent Property like this. It even taste like Fish Maw (Yu Piu / 魚鰾) 🐟🤔


The Char Siew were a Fatty Cut and I'm impressed that it is Legit Roasted Type. 🔥🐷 Biting into one gives a Nice Meaty Taste to help break up the Heavy Nature of this Dish. 🍖😋 Green Beans are Firm and helps provide a Nice Crunch and also add a Dash of Green Colour to the Overall "Yellowness" of the Dish. 🫛👍

At RM9.00 (S$2.60) for such a Big and Filling Bowl of Curry Mee, it is worth the money to try. 🍜 People who prefer a Lighter Tasting Laksa/Curry Mee will enjoy this one. That said though, I don't feel it is that Mind-Blowing and Amazing to take the time to come all the way to Taman Gaya just to eat this. 🤔 If you are near the Area though, sure why not. 👍
