This shop serves one of the best curry mee in Penang. It’s been selling since my parents were young, and it’s so famous until most people (include me) don’t know the actual name of the coffee shop or the stall, but only know the street it’s at, which is….
Although the building is old, but it’s well maintain. The whole place only sell curry mee. Oh, they do have a stall selling “loh bak”, but I don’t recommend you to try it at all. The “loh bak” is way below average for Penang standard, and the chili sauce always give a taste that it’s spoil already.

There are numerous Curry Mee stalls in Penang and each stall has its own kind of soup. Some have their coconut based stock reddish while some comes in a lighter pale color version, at times known as White Curry Mee.

I first knew this curry mee from penangfaces. And I also read that...
Lorong Seratus Tahun (100 years lane?) is accessible from Jalan Macalister (the road across Agora Hotel) through Naning Street. If you are in Jalan Dato Keramat, turn in from Seang Tek Road.
The surroundings are old shoplots. Seen here is the lottery seller that goes from table to table.
These are the siblings who sell the famous Lorong Seratus Tahun curry mee. The little stall is perched on edge of the coffeeshop and business is always brisk. They had been selling the curry mee for decades, previously operated by their father...
