Speedy Makan-makan | Part 1 Tua Pui Curry Mee
Today we had the urge to make full use of our 2 hour break session to go for quick makan-makan trip around the town instead of regular places.
We did not plan upfront of where we were going to eat till the very last minute but that should not be a problem for Penang Tua Pui, right? Hehe
First stop, the Tuai Pui Curry Mee at Weld Quay. This stall is located at the junction of Gat Lebuh Armenian, quite visible from main road.
There are seats under big umbrellas behind the stall or you can also opt to sit inside the house where there will be tables and chairs as well. (we would recommend to sit inside… too hot outside)
This curry mee is not oily and the soup is not curry based like the one at BM Yong Xu Xia. In fact, the color is rather whitish but the owner normally adds a spoonful or two of curry gravy into the curry mee for some flavors.
Of course you can add chili to your preference too.
For Tuai Pui Curry Mee, you can have the options of adding extra ingredients on top of regular ones like chicken curry, prawn, chicken liver, chicken legs, fish balls etc. Of course these ingredients come with extra price.
For example, adding a prawn will cost you RM5 each but given the size of that prawn, it is that of market rate. The cockles are also quite fresh as they are plucked and cleaned by the helpers there.
This stall is open daily except Wednesday and at the end of the lunar month. They will operate from 9am till 6pm during operations. A regular bowl of curry mee here sells at RM2.50.
First stop completed with o ur stomachs asking for more. So stay tuned for part 2!

wahh, 2 hour break can have so many part of makan-makan ar??? Geng..really PenangTuaPui spirit!!! Hehehe
buzzingbee : FYI u gimme 1 day in Penang. I can have try out 12 foods. Food hunters like us usually order 1 portion and share out. Just try the taste and not for full.
I am a Penang Kia too. When in Penang always remember to ride motorbike for food hunt. You can try more. Car waste too much time.
hmm….. email2me…. u got it half way right….. ya we can try a lot of food… but not share among us….
one for each of us just slightly fit in our stomach…
dun u remember… we are 3 tuapuisssssssssss….
we tried 5 different type of food in 2 hours… and by car…..
btw…. buzzingbee also penang flogger too…. haha…
Makan marathon for 2 hours??? Hmmm… good spirit!!!
we all have our methods to reach the destinations, short distance can use bike, longer distance… mai gong gong use bike or later you buttocks get numb :p
we did the same before for one day makan-makan trip from tanjung bungah to balik pulau. (Now tell me if you want to use bike on that)…
the key is not just tasting as much as possible but also ensure that we enjoy each and every meal we try without feeling bloated…sometimes wrong sequence of enjoying can make you feel bloated too
good discussion on makan-makan, anyone else want to share their experience?
sometime.. makan makan trip need to plan well.. the sequence, the type of food, and the team member as well….
else… either stomach blown up.. or the makan makan mood spoilt….
I did give them a try last week, their “si ham” is very fresh and juicy.
we all like it the best. Great sharing.
