What are the variants of curry noodles?
There are different variants of curry noodles in Malaysia, including the one with thicker red-orange broth and the one with thin yellow-orange broth. The curry noodles available in Ipoh are usually the former one while the latter one is usually found in Penang, called white curry noodles.
For those who have extreme taste or enjoy spicy food, you are encouraged to try out the one with red-orange broth, which is more common in Ipoh.
