Spicy Curry Noodle vs Thick Creamy Curry Noodle

When I was working, I struggled to get up early in the morning to get ready for work. Now that I am retired and can afford to sleep late, I couldn't. Even without the alarm clock, I automatically wake up early. So, the best way to spend the early hours is to go for morning walk, enjoy to cool, fresh air and have some form of exercise.

Sunrise at 7:08am
These birds sleep in the bamboo trees below. When they awake, these early birds assembled on the power lines above and sound their wake up call.
Sometimes, they will fly off in a circle and come back to the power lines.

Breakfast - Day 1
We have been passing by this corner coffee shop on our walk and I have been wanting to try the curry noodle. Finally, we did try. We were one of the first customers. Red and spicy curry gravy with generous mint leaves.
I was told these were homemade stuffed items.
Breakfast for 2 people.
We shared the bowl of curry noodle and stuffed items.

Back home in my garden.
These tiny baby grasshoppers were enjoying my hibiscus leaves for breakfast. I am glad that they have all disappeared and no more eating the leaves.

Breakfast - Day 2
The curry noodle we had on Day 1 tasted so-so only. Feeling unsatisfied, we went for curry noodle again on Day 2 at Yee Fatt Tea Shop.
We ordered our favourite "messy" dry curry noodle. Thick creamy curry gravy covering the noodle, chicken and bbq pork.
A bowl of free curry soup if you order the dry curry noodle.
Finally, a satisfying breakfast.

I took the following photos at a hotel in Malacca.
A poster on a door.
"The Small Machine With The Big Performance
BSA BANTAM
everybody's motor cycle all over the world"
The same motorcycle shown in the poster.
Blur me! I only noticed this when going through the photos.


Don't ever forget the wonderful fact that Jesus Christ was a man,
born into King David's family; and that he was God,
as shown by the fact that he rose again from the dead.
(2 Timothy 2:8, The Living Bible-TLB)

  8. Why the Day 1 curry noodle was not satisfying? Not flavourful enough? It is good to sleep early and wake up early, good for health.

    1. How wonderful to be able to sleep till noon and you can skip your breakfast. If I were to sleep till past 10am, I will have headache and my day will be spoilt. For dry version curry noodle, I like the cream type. But for the soup version, I like it to be more flavourful.

  12. I'm amazed with different dishes that you have for breakfast. I wonder if I could enjoy the bowls of curry for breakfast. It's the difference of our two countries. Happy New Year Nancy.

  19. Curry noodles look yummy. Can you ask for weakening sharp taste as I am not good at hot foods? Happy holidays!

    1. Sometimes, we can request for less spicy when we ordered the food. Happy New Year 2021 to you and yours. Stay safe and healthy.

  20. If the curry noodles come red like that with mint leaves, I'd be totally sold. Somehow quite rare in KL. The one on the first day does look nice even though you were dissatisfied with it.

    1. Yes, the colour and mint leaves very attractive, just that it was flavourful enough to my satisfaction.

  21. Isn't that the way it often happens, when we have to get up early we are tired, when we don't, we feel great.

    Sometimes food looks better than it tastes.

    Also, i am glad to hear that the grasshoppers are not eating your plants any more.
