Hot Bowl - Rangoon Road


One street behind , is where you can find the Lorong Selamat Char Koay Teow lady . The lady has a temper so famous she even made Anthony Bourdain laugh when she gave him a sound shelling . On the street behind Lorong Selamat, is Rangoon Road , where yet another bad tempered species plies his trade .....this time the male version.
Everybody thinks he has male menopause syndrome , but me , I think his ass is on fire , since he can't sit down properly due to the fact that his curry mee paste is so fiery it probably welded his um , back bottom down there openings together . There's got to be some leftovers some time and he's bound to get a taste of his own medicine more times than us paying customers.
And because there is a pony tailed girl in here with....surprise ! a bad temper too , I quietly confine myself to snapping a picture of the menu. 



To order you have to tell him face to face at the kitchen window. There is another line where the pony tail miss can be found most times  ,next to the window and that's for payment. To order your drinks , you have to turn away from the window and tell another worker but not those 2. 

Our order. One big beehoon mee and one small beehoon.
Beehoon is a thin vermicelli while mee is a yellow noodle. The gravy is a lightly creamy white coconut soup topped off with taufoopok ( a deep fried tofu that looks like a puff ball ) , brown squid , beansprouts and blood cockles.
You have to take the oily black paste provided in a receptacle on the table and mix it in the soup ,to release the flavour. The soup will turn an inflamed bowl of red hell depending on how much paste you place in. 



Par boiled Pak Cham Keh chicken .
Served slightly cold which is the correct way to do this. 
Love it even though I am 100 percent sure it is this tasty because of good old msg. Even the soya sauce is yummy.
If you order the breast , it will come with skin removed , thus if you enjoy the fatty skin make sure you ask for anything but breast. 



Some of you may not know how to enjoy Penang Curry Mee . The Penang version is different from the Ipoh version. 
Let me run you through the gamut.
When your order arrives , it will look like this.




After you mix one spoonful of the nasty evil paste it should look like below. Notice that I have a second scoop on standby because I like my curry mee sadistically spicy and slightly bitter . Don't try this unless you have full uninterrupted access to the loo the next day. 




Btw , the soya bean drink super sucks big time. Go for the leng teh coz it not only tastes better , you'll need it .
The herbal ingredients are good for bringing down the fire of your body temperature but not when you have to go tomorrow. Say your prayers your gut doesn't come out.

Parking : hahaha good luck in not getting towed

Location : Rangoon Road , Penang
