White Curry Mee

BY CK Lam

Hot Bowl is home to Penang Curry Mee and Pek Cham Kei. This place located in Abu Siti Lane offers mouth-watering curry mee. Their version affectionately known to locals as White Curry Mee comes with a lighter pale color coconut based broth.

The business is run by Mr Ho Peng Song and he has been selling the curry mee for over two decades. The curry mee is served with dried tofu pok (tau pok), cuttlefish, pig’s coagulated blood cubes and bloody cockles

. 

Customers can spice up and enhance the flavour of the curry mee with additional homemade chilli paste. Ready-bottled chilli paste is made ready for sale too. 

Besides curry mee, Hot Bowl also serve Hainanese Chicken or known to locals as Pek Cham Kei. The chicken is steamed and refrigerated immediately. The slightly cold and tender chicken is served deboned with cucumber, soy sauce gravy, sesame oil and garnished with spring onions. A dish of crunchy bean sprouts is an excellent complement with the chicken. 

Hot Bowl is opened daily from 8am to 3pm except Mondays.
