Flavor of My Hometown


Blogger and photographer Neo was in my hometown, Kuala Kangsar, last March to attend a wedding. He complained that the food in the wedding dinner was ‘mediocre’. I recommended him curry noodle a.k.a. curry mee, should he go to KK again.

The picture above shows a dish of dried curry mee of my hometown. It is different from the curry soup noodle common in Klang Valley in the sense that it is not served in curry soup. Instead, it is dried noodle with curry added. The curry may or may not be made of coconut milk, depending on the individual stores. Even if you don’t eat spicy food, the dried noodle minus the curry is yummy too.

Curry mee may also come in soup, but again this is prepared in a way not common in Klang Valley. Often, the soup is ikan bilis soup, with curry added.

Another hometown food which I like is beef ball noodle. I will blog about it when I have the photos.

  6. It is really different over there huh! Actually I might just prefer the ones over there. And they have the option of coconut milk or without it which is good. I'm sure a lot will find it appealing right?

    :D Yummy!

  8. I love dry noodles!

    I have coconut milk sauce once in a while, but this is really a South-East Asian thing. Chinese just stick to soy sauce!

    People of Kuala Kangsar and Ipoh do like this type of noodle, but others may take a while to get used to it.
