My mother in-law just bought a Phillips Noodle Maker few weeks ago and we have been experimenting and making different types of homemade noodles. I cooked this curry soup for the homemade noodles. I particularly like this curry noodle soup as it is combination of Malaysian and Thai styles. I have not yet shared noodle recipe here as I am still fine tuning the recipe for the noodle maker. You may click here for my homemade noodle recipe I shared sometimes ago if you like to make your own noodles.

Hi YL, was just wondering whether your curry noodles recipe is similar to Penang curry mee. I was searching for a good Penang curry mee and decided to check out whether our amazing Bake with Paws chef had one. I am yearning for it! Thank you for all your wonderful recipes!!! You are such a blessing!
ReplyDeleteHi Petra,
DeleteThank you for your support.
This recipe is different from Penang Curry Mee. This one is for Thai and Nyonya Style. To be honest, I still don't know how to cook Penang white curry mee. lol
I hope you will find the Penang Curry Mee recipe soon.
Cheers :)
