Air Itam Sister Curry Mee

"This shop in a market serves Penang-style curry mee at friendly prices. The mee is cooked over charcoal, in a well-balanced soup with spices, chilli paste and coconut milk; tofu puffs and spring squid add contrasting textures." - Michelin Inspector

Located beside the main air itam market street. Came here for breakfast. Didn’t see the both sister here, but only a young lady preparing the curry mee. The curry mee more towards sweet side. Cost rm8 per bowl. Able to seat anywhere opposite cafe.

Just outside this church, you’ll find a little lane (be careful crossing the road) with curry Mee, chee cheong fun and char kway teow. So good! The curry mee is thin but flavorful, not much coconut milk taste. The CCF is chewy and tasty with the peanut sauce. The CKT has that wok-aroma and very well done. Would not miss this place when in Penang.

The curry paste is very special and tasty, the essence of the soup ! The tiny stall located at a small lane . It’s on the left hand side of the small lane , next to the chicken rice stall. Hard to get parking here.

Their curry mee was great. The soup broth was flavourful and spicy. Personally I prefer it to be more coconut but that is just my preference. The toppings are nothing to brag about and decent. You do not sit at where they sell the noodle, you are to sit opposite the shop itself. Price was reasonable for what it is. You should try this famous store.

If you like clear soup very mild taste of curry mee soup base and if you don’t take clam, this is for you, you may try out. Michelin 2024. But actually I feel quite disappointed. Not as expected. But maybe this is very good for them who grown up with this :)

2 Sisters Curry Mee Located in the midst of a morning pasar malam market. 2 Sisters Curry mee stall is a simple setup with no frills. The dish itself is also a simple one with pork blood, few pcs of Cuttlefish and taupok. We ordered the mix beehoon/mee. Heard a lot about it but I was rather disappointed. The chilli offered had a raw taste and super spicy, which we didn't know. In any case, the Curry mee didn't quite measure up. The taste didn't quite come out for some reason. Maybe it's just my own taste expectations. But many stalls of the same thg we have tried was about the same or better. That said, they still have a steady stream of locals coming up to order non-stop. Their flavour may be adapted to the locals. If you are around the Ayer Itam area,  no harm coming to give it a shot.  The buzz is this vicinity itself is quite a sight.  Do take note that on a weekend morning,  parking can be rather stressful, that is if you are driving

Superb local market feel while sitting here to enjoy the food. It's located on the road side in a small lane. There's a church with some spaces in front to park cars, but I'm not sure if they open when it's school holidays. The lane is so small that only one car can move each time. As for the curry mee, I love it much as I'm having it with the economic fried bee hoon, which most locals will order according to the seller. And most importantly the curry soup is without much santan(coconut milk), won't cause tummy windy after enjoying it. There's a blood donation this coming Saturday (16/3/24) 9am-3pm at the church. Donate then enjoy good food there ❤️ RM6.00 per serving for the curry beehoon.

Over rated. Will not recommend The tau pok got one weird taste and it’s affected the soup flavour. TBH I will not travel the distant to eat them

Not bad in broth, noodles and ingredients. Two types of noodles inside (egg and vermicelli). One bowl costs RM5. Grandma was there to oversee the stall. Starts closing at 12:50pm. Be sure to get there before 1pm. Closed on Tuesdays.

After doing the research on where to have the best curry mee in Penang I was not disappointed. The ladies are sisters in their 80s (almost 90?) who have been selling curry mee for over 60 years. They don't have a proper store but are located under a giant tree - the first left after you cross the creek heading uphill. Their curry mee will not disappoint with the combination of vermicelli and hokkein noodle, the coconuty soup base with the right amount of chilli. A must visit and a bargain at 8 ringgit!

This famous stall is slightly overrated due to excessive media and social coverage but the taste of its curry mee certainly meets the standards (or slightly surpassed my expectation ). Will return for one more round whenever I'm in Penang. In fact we actually preferred the (Assam) laksa few blocks down the road, located at the corner of Ayer Itam wet market which deserves to be the best Penang laksa I've tasted so far!

One of the most famous hawker food in Penang. Been around for more than 30 years so I guess it won't go wrong. The two sisters are very friendly and though it is just a few tables under a big tree but the atmosphere is great. Bustling with people on morning market making it a great remembrance...this is like the Penang heritage site
