Their signature white curry Mee is so good!! Every table is provided with a separate bowl of the oil chili so that everyone can put their preferred amount of chili into the curry Mee. Service was quick too.

Nice curry mee in the Penang Island. Must try. The steamed chicken is good to eat too. Nice and delicious. A bit crowded as famous but still okay. Limited car park around.

Neither hot nor cold bowl is an apt description of my buddy's favourite childhood destination. Sometimes its the fragments of indelible memories imprinted in our minds that we come back again to relive, grasping at the straws of yesteryears. My own time capsule with grandfather was in the narrow lanes of Petaling Street, enjoying the now lost art of Koon Kee's wanton mee and the dimsum at now defunct Woo Yook Hin's. With each loss of destination, our world starts closing in on us. Sadly, this morning I shared the news of the closure of End of the World restaurant, a common place of bitter sweet memories of our distant unrelated childhoods growing up on this island. The curry mee is certainly distinguished by its very milky white broth, a unique compilation of santan, spices and crustacean bisque - perhaps where the term "white curry" was coined and found its way into the foodie dictionary. I, for one, never remembered such terminology as a child, and only in recent times, did we even label anything "white" until the dawn of Ipoh coffee. In our family, everything culinary was "Orr" (black) especially dad's morning coffee (kopi O kau) to KL's Hokkien mee (fondly called "Orr Tam Tam" - Black Wet Wet). Seasons change and even this bowl (RM5.50) came only with tiny cockles, tofu croutons, cuttlefish and beansprout. Gone are the shrimps, blatantly advertised, and the pig blood, absent due to COVID-19 MCO, yet another often repeated lame excuse heard in Penang.... however no discounts were offered. Adding the red hot spicy chilly oil did up the ante for the al-dente noodles. Perhaps, the chilly aroma was all that was needed to rekindle those almost lost memories of our youth. Luckily, no extra surcharges for daydreaming here...

A decent curry noodles with cockles, squid, and beancurd. You can add as much (or little) sambal paste as you want. Overall the taste is quite "commercialize". Loh Bak (meat roll) is so so only. Chicken (rice) is nice and fragrant but the rice is a tad too dry. Price is only slightly higher than most shops.

It's looks plain when they served it. But after you mix with the chili the gravy just went boom boom boom in your mouth, the fragrance so good you feel like eating and eating it again.

Enjoyed the white curry mee and chicken meatball hor fun. But what I liked the most is the boneless steamed chicken. The chicken was very tender and flavorful. The service was quick, we ordered using the qr code at the table.

The biggest challenge of writing reviews of food in Malaysia is that you’re eating food in Malaysia - the standard is pretty damn high. Unfortunately, Hot Bowl doesn’t meet my take of that standard. The broth was too thin and lacked the body of the better curry mee offered in Penang. The table sauce was tasty, but it felt like a crutch for this dish, and one that I’ve come to love over the years. It’s not bad, it’s not great, it’s just…a bowl of white curry mee.

We having our 2 days breakfast at this restaurant. It taste super delicious! Superduper recommended! Their apps are very systematic with a lot of choices. A must eat in Penang.

A good bowl of white curry mee. It is not spicy without the chilli paste which you can help yourselves to. So just add to your own liking and enjoy. The deboned white chicken paired well with the white curry mee. It is hainan style white chicken. It is nice. Best to order both of these dishes to enjoy together. May get crowded during lunch as there are not many tables.

Delicious white curry noodles + hainanese style steamed chicken 白斩鸡. The white coffee is instant 3 in 1 coffee, nothing special. The curry is not too heavy, nice light taste, perfect with the oily chilli paste. The chicken is really tender & the sauce is flavourful. Both are delicious & a must try! My only complaint is there are only 2 servers & 1 cashier in the packed restaurant during noon lunchtime & they forgot one of my order. The owners who are the husband & wife chefs should consider hiring more servers. Most diners are local Malaysians. Slightly pricey as compared to other local curry mee shops. But highly recommended!

When you try something new, you win or lose sometimes. Chicken noodle soup was delicious, also the side chicken was juicy, tasty and yummy. The white curry was not my taste, but that happens sometimes.

This is the stop that you must drop by. Super crowded during lunch time, even it is weekday still lots of people. The curry mee come in white soup and you can add your curry paste depends on the amount you like it. This is the best curry mee I have in Penang and their lobak side dish also way better than the place at Jetty Chew. Note : If you drive to the spot, it is hard to find parking at the nearby. You can just park your car at alley beside the restaurant. The waiter will call your number plate if they need you to move your car.

The curry noodles can only be described as incredibly tasty. It has a nice smooth texture and depending on how much chili paste you add, can be very satisfying on its own. It's a pity that during the COVID-19 pandemic, the duck blood is unavailable, as the first time I came here, I was very impressed by it. The white chicken is also highly recommended, they are a nice addition to the noodles but are also good enough on their own.

Workers are slacking there nowadays, but luckily the taste remains the same/good. For those who can’t take spicy food, this place is worth checking out as you can order the white curry noodles and add the chilli paste to your liking, or you can just add bit by bit as you eat. Chicken and bean sprouts are good too, recommended. For parking, just park along the street if you can find a spot or double/triple park at/beside the premise if available.

This place seems quite popular. To me the taste is Ok. Parking is hard to find although customers can park at alley but is uncomfortable as you might need to drive your car out in the mid of eating.

Penang one of famous white Curry noodles Breakfast in morning. Especially the chilli after add on full of the taste. Braised Chicken feet with mushroom soy sauce, can pay with eWallet very convenient. Environment is so so alot of fly, very hard to find parking, need park far or somewhere else/next street walk in. Take away add RM0.20 for charges.

Hot Bowl Curry Noodle in George Town, Penang, proved to be a Michelin-worthy experience, the food is ok and can adjust the level of spicy by the amount of curry. Not that crowded even Saturday noon. But will suggest go earlier.

It is easy to order via apps. They have considered all customers needs in the order options. The Curry mee is tasty and you can control the spicy level by yourself. We ordered extra chicken, the portion is small but very tasty and "al dente". But the drinks are the downside. We ordered coffee was a instant coffee.

Heard of this Michelin star graded Curry mee. Decided to visit one day. This location very difficult to find parking, i have to drive to another lane to Lorong Selamat and walk 15 mins back to the restaurant. So take note Scan qr code for menu and place order, which i find this quite useful as when the restaurant is super crowded we can place order as soon as we decided what to order in very short time. The curry mee...well it is ok but not that great as i thought of. There maybe more better options in penang, my personal opinion. We ordered the chicken as well. The taste was ok, i think the soya sauce they used can be better. That's all i can tell. Will i go back again? Hmm...well...

Recommended by Michelin Guide, Hot Bowl White Curry Mee is a must visit if you want good Penang curry mee. 🙂 Their White Curry Mee is served in a coconut milk based broth with a bowl of curry paste on the side so that you can adjust the heat to your liking. Be careful not to overload your bowl with the chilli paste, for the spiciness can be quite lethal. 🥵 I really loved the aromatic chilli paste which was cooked with dried shrimp & shallots. 😋 Apart from Curry Mee, their Steamed Chicken is also great. It was tender and smooth also deboned for easy consumption. 🙂

Flavourful white curry mee. Its my nostalgic food that I’ve been looking so many from then. The broth is so delicious with the coconut mill and its soup base. Cockles and dried squid and my fav the tao-pok. If I were use a word to describe I will say “fu-yoh” damn good! Beside I also ordered the chicken and also the meat so soft, well cook and the soy sauce id make to perfect. BUT very very difficult to get a carpark and the road is kond of narrow. Double or triple at the alley beside the shop its self. Chicken feet to mentioned, well stew and the taste and texture just so right.

My favourite place to go to when I am in Penang. Food is simply great. The curry mee is originally a coconut broth version and you can add in the chilli paste to make it into the ‘curry mee’. Do take note of the amount of chilli to add as it might get too spicy. The deboned chicken is fabulous. One of the best I have eaten so far in my life. Meat is very tender and smooth. Very well prepared. The ice coffee is also good. Thick and full of the richness of coffee.

One of the best curry mee in town. The sambal is spicy but you can ask them to decrease it if you are someone who can't handle spicy food. Quality of service is good. Food preparation time is also fast. Recommended.

First time trying this Okay Not that bad Comparable with Lao mu zi But ingredients is lesser than Lao mu zi Price is cheaper than Lao mu zi But I prefer Lao mu zi Alot people order chop chicken Not bad for me. Prefer to add more curry for tastier noodle

A classic white curry mee which is quite unique to Penang. The bowl of curry is loaded with cockles, tofu and wholesome chili pastes as addition. They also serves one of their signature dish which is the steam chicken. It is really good as they have perfected the right texture with the premium soy sauce. Overall, it is a place worth visiting if you want to taste the White Curry mee of Penang and don't forget the chicken.

Had two bowls of White Curry noodles coz its too yummy! The best curry mee I ever had. Only rm5.50/bowl The steam chicken is good too.

One of the best penang white curry mee & super smooth steam chicken must try here ! Qr scan system provide to order. (2/6/23)

Hot Bowl White Curry Mee is famous for their white curry noodle as per their shop name. Their white curry is very sweet and the red curry paste is served separately, you can add as much as you want to cater your level of spiciness. Two thing I like about this shop is you can choose curry noodle with beancurd only and the curry paste you can add to the amount you enjoy. Other dishes that we tried: 1) hor fun with steam chicken - tasted ok, chicken meat is tender and fresh but lack of flavor 2) pork meatball - the white color one tasted like just many other pork meatball, the brown one I think its those with organ, tasted a bit heavy 3) kopi - not bad, fragrant enough

Having a table out in front porch is hot. Use to be good Curry Mee that I frequently visit. Not anymore now. Going here today due to 无得顶 Curry Mee's owner not answering call. Cockles here is small and don't like it. Had 1 person chicken, no selection for this order.

My favourite place for Penang white curry mee.

Located at Abu Siti Lane, parking can be quite hard especially during lunch hours, the place is air-conditioned, so its pretty comfortable even to enjoy a bowl of hot and spicy curry mee under the hot weather. You will need to order the curry mee at the counter, you can opt for some additional ingredients such as prawns, fish balls, crab sticks etc. Other than the white curry mee, their Deboned Boiled Chicken with Soy Sauce ( 白斩鸡 ) is a must try too. Its definitely one of the best in Penang. There will be some deep fried local delicacies, dumplings, yam cake, pork trotters available too....

All time favourite White Curry Mee place. Parking is a problem but the White Curry Mee still the best in town. The Steam Chicken also very smooth and tasty. Price is reasonable. Service is fast, good and friendly. The place is clean and has some variety of kuih too. Opens very early in the morning. Good to go for early breakfast.

Tasty white curry noodles. It’s the Penang specialty. Called white curry cuz they are served ‘white’ without the curry paste. You add your preferred amount of curry paste to suit your palate. The bean sprouts is a must have! Juicy & Crunchy! Order a serving of chicken too since you don’t get any meat in the curry noodles. Tip: get the Lobak, if you happen to see if it’s fresh out of the kitchen… :)

The signature white curry new is a must-try. It's delicious and the fact that you can add the chilli paste on your own is an added bonus because it suits your own preference (on the amount). The chilli paste is also sold in bottle. Parking could be a little difficult but it's totally worth it. This is 1 of the must-go if you are visiting Penang.

Arrived at around 2:30pm, ordered the last few bowls of curry mee, broth was very fragrant, can taste the santan, add sambal by yourself, the horfun also not bad.

My #1 favourite penang white curry mee of all time. Must eat with their cold white chicken. Pair made in heaven.
