Teng Haw Kedai Kopi, Kuantan
Teng Haw Kedai Kopi serves what locals will tell you is the best curry mee in Kuantan — and Kuantan curry mee is its own thing, distinct from the Klang Valley version. Go early. By 10.30am the brinjal yong tau fu is typically gone, and that is the piece worth queuing for; what remains tends to be ladies finger and tofu puffs. What to Order at Teng Haw Kedai Kopi The curry mee (RM6 small, RM8 large) is the order. The broth looks deceptively light, but the flavour arrives immediately — there is a layer of orange-flecked oil on top from the pecah minyak process, where the spices are fried until they split from the oil and turn aromatic. It is not the thick, heavy style; it carries its weight through santan and spice instead. Yong tau fu is picked from what is left by the time you arrive, and there is konlo (dark sauce) noodles for anyone at the table who cannot take the curry broth. For curry mee in Kuantan, this is the one people send visitors to.
