I only knew of this Place thru a Random TikTok Video ๐ฅ as I was researching for places to eat in KL so I figured why not give this a try. ๐The Actual Place is a Very Hole in the Wall sort of Eatery that also has a Kopitiam Vibe. ๐ค It is actually quite a Popular Place even at 8.20am on a Friday Morning when I reached. By 9.00am, it was actually Full House as I observed. ๐ณ

Non-Airconditioned but still feels Airy. ๐ฌ️ All of the Customers are probably Locals with me being the only Tourist. ๐ It also has a Very Cantonese Vibe with almost everyone conversing in Canto. Being Canto myself I immediately felt right at home here. ♥️ The Whole Place only consists of this Curry Mee Stall and a Drinks Stall.
When I first stepped in, I was immediately greeted by a Very Genki, Very Welcoming ๅคงๅฅ who is the Drink Stall Owner. ๐ Really Genki Fellow, he was really Welcoming and Greeted Everyone that enters or even leaves the Establishment. Really Very Humble and Friendly Chap. ๐


The Curry Mee Stall itself is run by a Couple of ๅคงๅง. ๐ฉ๐ผ๐ The Name of the Stall "Girl and Mummy" is correct, this is owned by a Mother and Daughter Pair but they were not around that day when I visited. The Stall gives me the Vibe that its a Family Run Business and all the ๅคงๅง there are their Relatives I think? ๐ค Everyone were Very Friendly, Very Welcoming, and Very Canto Vibe. ♥️


The Condiments Available on the Table
The Left Chilli tasted Noticeably Salty with a Very Strong Haebee Base. ๐ถ️ Very Mildly Spicy, this was More Sourish than Spicy. I really like this because the Haebee in this is Gao Gao. ๐
The Right Chilli is a Garlic Chilli that is Very Garlicky. ๐ Slight Sourish Taste and is Elevated Spicy that will kiss your Tongue. Solid Chilli. ๐ถ️
☕ Kopi-O Kosong (Hot, Normal Cup) = RM2.40
Served in a Traditional Looking Cup, this was a Rich and Thick Coffee and a Very Robust and Earthy Brew. ☕ It had a Noticeable Bitter Note but not Overly So.
Not the Super Strong Type that will Smack you Awake, but still Pretty Strong. Good Solid Coffee this one. ๐
๐ Big Mac Curry Mee (่้ผ ็ฒ) = RM25.00
The True Star of the Show. ⭐ There is only 1 Standard Size. You can have a choice of whichever Noodles you want and I chose ่้ผ ็ฒ. In Singapore, we call this Noodle "Bee Tai Mak". ๐ It took 4 Mins for this to serve up.
Just LOOK at this Monster! ๐ณ Photos and Videos don't do this Justice. ๐ณ
NGL It is REALLY Intimidating to look upon such a Rediculous Mountain Pile of Sihum in Real Life. ๐
Hahaha the only thing that came to my Mind as I looked upon this was:
"Die lah, am I going to Faint, Collapse or Die from "Over Cholesterol-ness" if I One-Shot eat so much of this?" Hahaha! ๐
EVERY OTHER CUSTOMER in the Kopitiam all Open Eyes Big Big and literally went WAHHHHhhhhhh ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐ณ when it arrived on my Table. Hahaha One Excited Customer even nicely asked for my Permission to take a Photo of it! ๐ท๐ I reckon its not a Dish that people order regularly. ๐

Of course I dissected it closely which consists of:
๐ A Whole Bowl-ful of ่้ผ ็ฒ Noodles
๐ท 9 Pieces of Sio Bak
๐ท 9 Slices of Soft Pork Skin
๐ง 14 Cut Pieces of Taupok
and Of Course... a Whole Mountain of Sihum Blood Cockles ๐ฆช
and No I did not bother to count how many Pieces there were! ๐

Quality of the Curry Mee Broth
Upon tasting this, I was immediately impressed. ๐ This taste exactly like our Singapore Styled of (Non-Katong) Lemak Lemak type of Laksa Broth. ๐ธ๐ฌ Rich and Gao Gao Robust with a Gritty Texture. ๐ It is Spicy but not Overly So, just a Nice and Mild Heat that lingers comfortably in your Throat. ๐ถ️ This Laksa Gravy Broth is Solid. ๐


Quality of the ่้ผ ็ฒ Noodles
Nothing Particularly Special about these, they are most likely from a Package. ๐ค Amount given is Very Acceptable and Filling for the Price. ๐ I thought this paired Very Well in a Curry Mee actually. It was quite satisfying to eat this compared to Regular Noodles you'd order for Curry Mee. ๐ First Time ordering ่้ผ ็ฒ and I like this so much that I will be ordering this ่้ผ ็ฒ as my Carb for Future Curry Mee Dishes that I order! ๐


Quality of the Sio Bak
Although these did not have those Freshly Roasted Super Crispy and Crackling ่็ฎ Skin, they were Solid Firm and Meaty with a Delicious Roasted Sio Bak Taste. ๐ท๐ Not Overly Porky, they were cut in Decent Bite Sized Pieces to inject a Solid Meaty Chew into this Curry Mee. ๐


Quality of the Taupok and Pork Skin
Nothing Special about the Taupok, very Standard Taste and Texture. Its Function is of course to soak in the Curry Zhup and give a Juicy Bite. ๐
Pork Skin is Soft and Chewy, not Rubbery and looks and taste No Different from a Fish Maw ้ฑผๆผ. ๐ Similar in Function to the Taupok, this is also meant to be a Curry Zhup Absorber.


The Pile of Sihum (Blood Cockles)
Taste-wise, if you have eaten Blood Cockles before, you will know how they taste like. ๐ Soft, Tender and so Seafoody. There is REALLY Alot of them. ๐ Trust me, eating abit of these and eating FULL SPOONFULS of it is a Completely Different Feel. ๐

What really impressed me more was how much work it is to actually extract so many of them. ๐ค Remember, this is still a Shellfish ๐ฆช so someone has to take the Time and Effort to slowly open each and every one of them. ๐ณ
As I checked with the Stall, they confirmed that yes, they really do extract this by themselves, this is not a Factory Supplied Package kind of thing. Jeez that's alot of Effort ๅพๅคๅ to do this lor! ๐ณ


When Everything is Eaten together, you get abit of Everything. ๐ The Soft Tender Carb from the Lo Shu Fan, ๐ the Juicy Meatiness of the Sio Bak ๐ท all drenched with that Rich Creamy Laksa Gravy Broth ๐ฒ followed by a Big Insane Seafoody Oyster Shot of the Sihum Blood Cockles! ๐ฆช Woo! ๐คฏ
The Amount of Sihum may look Comically Ridiculously Gimmicky, ๐ but eating alot like this actually hits differently compared to eating just a few pieces. ๐ค The Combination of this Rich Laksa Broth with this Intense Level of Seafoodiness is really Shiok to the Max! ♥️

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Conclusion and Closing Thoughts
At the Price of RM2.40 (S$0.80) for this Solid Cup of Kopi-O Kosong is definitely worth the Money. ☕๐ Solid Robust Earthy Brew that while not Strong until Smack you Awake is definitely still a Decent Strong Brew Overall. Solid. ๐
At the Price of RM25.00 (S$7.70) is Definitely Not Cheap for this Curry Mee but what you are paying for is a Rediculous Amount of Hardwork that is required to process this many Sihum Blood Cockles. ๐ฆช๐ณ These Cockles aren't gonna Magically Open by Themselves. Someone has to go thru the Crazy Effort of Opening Them One by One. ๐ณ

Hardwork aside, this Curry Mee itself is Good. ๐ This is not those type of Viral Good-for-Instagram but doesn't taste good type of ๅฅฝ็ไธๅฅฝๅ Gimmicky Dish. This Legit is a Good Quality Delicious Curry Mee. ๐
Even if you disregard every other ingredient (yes, even that Mountain of Sihum), ๐ the Main Soul of this Dish is the Solid Robust Gao Gao Laksa Broth. ๐ฒ Really Rich and Creamy, I would even consider this to be one of the Better Laksa Tasting type of Curry Mee that I've eaten so far. ๐ There is Effort and Work done in the Making of this Gravy, its not just a Simple Cheap Low-Effort Job. ♥️

Every other Ingredients are also not only for show and contribute in their own way to elevate the Entire Dish as a Whole. ๐ Yes, even the Rediculous Amount of Sihum. ๐ฆช๐ Really Sinful, but also Really Shiok. ไธๅฃ Laksa ๅๅฑ Gravy, ไธๅฃ้บต, ไธๅฃๆปกๆปก Gao Gao Sihum. ็็ๅๅพๅ ็ฝไธไธ. ๐ For that Matter, I recommend eating this using ่้ผ ็ฒ Noodles. ๐ Something about this just pairs perfectly as a Curry Mee. ๐ Its so Perfect that if given the choice, I will be choosing ่้ผ ็ฒ for my Carb in Future Curry Mee that I buy! ๐
I'll be honest, I had originally thought that this was really just another one of those Gimmicky Dish meant more for Instagram Type of ๅฅฝ็ไธๅฅฝๅ Type of Food, ๐ but I'm really glad it proved me Wrong. ๐ The Curry Mee Base itself is a Solid Piece of Work. ๐ Of course they have other More Reasonable and Affordable Versions and you really don't have to choose this Insane Monstrosity if you don't want to. ๐

And its not only the Food that's Good here. What also impressed me is how Friendly and Welcoming this Whole Place really is. ♥️ Everyone just felt so Friendly and Joyous and especially because they spoke in Canto, it gave me a even more ่ชๅทฑไบบ Type of Community Feel that made me totally felt at home when eating here. ♥️
As such, I have Absolutely No Issues with this place and it Easily Earns my Highest Top Score. ⭐ If you are nearby the area, why not swing by and give this a try? This Place is Well Worth your time. Highly Recommended! ๐
