For decent Hokkien Mee in the KLCC area, check out Malaysia Boleh! food court at Fours Seasons Place KL. I like that the noodles was not overburnt and the sambal was quite tasty with a nice kick. I just wished the noodles had slightly more wok hei.
This round we also got to try the Wantan Mee @ RM9 and I was happy to see pun fei sau (half lean-half fat) cut of char siew given without requesting for it. Not only that, the noodles also came topped with crispy chee yau char...and that's why you can taste the fragrant lard oil in the sauce that's used to toss the noodles in. It may not be among the better ones that I've had, but overall, still a decent plate of wantan mee.
A plate of nasi lemak (MYR 3.50+) and one deep fried chicken thigh (MYR 5+) making it a total of MYR 8.50+ (MYR 9 nett). The rice is soft with a tinge of coconut milk. For my friend who do not eat much sambal, the rice can be a bit dry as this stall does not have any other curry gravy to go with the rice. For those who will mix the rice with the sambal, they won't find the rice to be dry.
The Signature Hokkien Mee, 14.20 ringgit was delicious. It was packed with pork meat and lard. Literally filled with it and real greasy – the criterias to a good hokkien mee, lol. Yum Yum!
精明消费的我必选猪扒蛋饭,因只需加RM1就附上一杯香浓顺滑且不涩的澳门奶茶,好满足!
Overall, there are many good options here, taste good, portion are decent, and prices are affordable too, consider you are dining at a premium location like in KLCC. It’s also a good option location for buka puasa for those in KL.
We started off with their Soup Pan Mee which comes with the usual pan mee ingredients with the chicken soup base. They are topped with the stir fried minced chicken, anchovies as well as the black fungus. They are made daily and their noodles comes pretty good as well. It includes the softdrink and the fried wanton
Overall, no wonder yesterday I saw a queue here when I ordered for the nasi lemak next stall.
After all the oil has been removed into a smaller bowl. This Sarawak Laksa is not that spicy and has a good enough strength of the signature herb taste in the Sarawak laksa. Won't buy again due to the amount of oil that needs to be removed but the taste is acceptable.
So I ordered mee sua chicken at MYR 10.90 nett. The mee sua and mushroom is a bit on the salty side. The soup doesn't have any wine in it and the chicken drumstick is a bit on the tough side. Overall, it is ok.
Portuguese Ikan Pari & Sotong (RM 12.80) I am loving the kick of umphhh and spiciness of the dish itself. Though the portion of the ikan pari is not much but it is good enough for one. I am loving the taste of it with the spicy squid that accompany with it.
Lee Narrow Street 三间庄猪肉丸粉 is having a promotion until the end of March 2021. MYR 10 dishes are now having a price of MYR 8.50 nett so we ordered a set of 3jc Mee hoon for his dine-in brunch at MYR 8.50 nett.
Sometimes in my life, we don’t need to eat fancy food all the time. Some comfort food like dried chili pan mee is good enough. This is Kin Kin Pan Mee Publika Eat Food Village and other Kin Kin Pan Mee outlets too!
I ate my prawn mee Hoon mix with yellow noodles. The livers are from the pork Mee Hoon. I requested for just a bit of broth to be put together with the noodles so it was like a dry version of prawn noodles. Very tasty, I like it. Will definitely buy again this way.
One day, I decided to have economy fried noodles for breakfast. The noodles are not fried on order but are already fried in bulk and sold as is. As this fried noodle is sold by Kim Hung Nasi Lemak stall at Swee Hing coffee shop, I added one whole hard boiled egg, some curry potatoes and some acar (pickled vegetables). This whole dish costs MYR 6 nett. I kept half of everything for lunch and had a satisfying breakfast.
Nasi Lemak (Coconut milk rice) bought from a stall in Swee Hing coffee shop, Sri Petaling with acar (pickled vegetables) and curry chicken - at about MYR7.
In the end, I ate this bowl of beef noodles as my lunch at MYR 13.90 nett. The kway teow or hor fun is the type that I like - those that taste like rice.
I ate this plate of mixed rice dishes with no rice at the Food Republic food court in Pavilion Mall. A big piece of Mackerel fish (tenggiri), potatoes wedges, and bitter gourd. Total is MYR 20.90 nett
My plate of Penang Char Koay Teow was prepared by a foreigner cook, so as most if not all cooks at the Food Republic at KL's Pavilion Mall. I am not complaining, for its price and taste, it is OK!
So do check it out if you happen to be around, as this is one of the better Sarawak Noodle I have eaten so far. The nasi lemak stall at the other end is also popular and worth trying if you fancy wild boar curry and fried chicken.
Priced at RM8 a plate, the Pad Thai is worth every cent. To begin with, they are not stingy with the toppings as I counted seven prawns in total. That’s almost triple of what you usually get at other places.
Reasons to visit JadJan Thai Street Food: a professional kitchen team; support a crew trying to survive difficult times; must order the Chilli & Lime Steamed Seabass and, of course, Mango Sticky Rice; the team is responsive to requests to reduce waste and accommodates guests bringing their own reusable containers for takeaway.
We were bowled over by this bowl of fish head noodles. The soupy delight came to us in a milky anchovy, flavoured with Chinese cooking wine and lightly deep-fried battered pieces of fish. No, not really; there was this generous portion of fish fillet accompanied with several pieces of the smaller portions in the bowl. I have requested for more flesh and not fish heads, so we have this yummy piece of fillet for my son to enjoy without any bones. Generous amounts of coriander leaves, tofu, fried shallots, tomato, lettuce, preserved mustard and ginger lend flavour to the broth that has mee hoon in it. The generous use of ingredients offers a burst of flavours. For me, this bowl is worth every single cent you paid for it or even more. So far, this is my first encounter getting to eat such a delicious bowl of fish head noodles at such a cheap price for a chock-full of ingredients for RM 6.50 only! So cheap you can't find anywhere else and definitely in the city centre like in Bukit Bintang area where the rent is expensive.
Hokkien Mee at MYR 8.50 nett from Oriental Wok (Aeon Food Court in Midvalley Mall). Taste is acceptable but the gravy is not thick enough and the noodles do not seem to melt into the gravy so the Hokkien Mee of Damansara Uptown stall in PopCorn tastes better but unfortunately the stall has closed. In Midvalley Mall, one can still get a tasty plate of Hokkien mee from Kim Lian Kee eatery located near Canton-i restaurant.
After trying the food at Ko Ko Kai stall in Aeon Food Court at One Utama, we tried out the outlet at Midvalley Mall by redeeming one e-voucher offered by a telco provider mobile app. Total price should be MYR 20.35 nett but with the e-voucher, the price we paid is MYR 10.95 nett so we saved MYR 9.40 nett.
A brief chat with the friendly aunty revealed that she only sold prawn mee when her stall opened 16 years ago. As time passed, she gradually added her offerings to include Jawa Mee and Loh Mee too. She also told us that this area used to have students and business used to be better. However, a number of them have moved to neighboring housing areas to enjoy cheaper rents. I asked if she’s from Penang because her stall sells mostly Penang food, but she replied that she is actually born and bred in KL.
Thanks to a reader’s comment, I found out that the Sarawak Kolo Mee at Jalan Ipoh which I used to rave about has relocated to Wangsa Maju. It is now operating at Restoran RDS and the owner still retains most of his original offerings, but tomyam noodle seems to have been removed
"Food Clans", a food court (the only eatery) in G-Tower's lower ground floor which is called "Food Hive". "Food Clans" at the "Food Hive" offers Malaysian food, seems to close around 3pm (and not 8pm)!
Relishing in good food has never been easier at Food Clans, a one-stop food kiosks featuring Malaysia’s signature hawker food together with some neighbouring recipes. For me who enjoy more laid-back atmosphere without much noise from the crowds, I prefer to visit this place during the weekend where more relaxing ambiance is exuded. Come and check out this contemporary establishment soon!
That meant on my return I tried out Pak Punjab, which sells Pakistani curry. It had a decent cheese naan, with an ok dhal to dip it in. Solid, and I wouldn’t mind trying their onion paratha. Prices here are quite reasonable too.
It’s a one-stop destination for everything from crave-worthy Grilled Seafood from Stulang Laut, to comforting Asian food from Selera Kita, Hot Plate noodles and Claypot Rice, Thai food from Thai Fusion, smashed fried chicken Indonesian styled from Ayam Penyet D’Kota, Arabian Sweets from Dubai, Chicken Rice, Mixed Rice from Nasi Campur Suria, Western Fusion dishes etc served in a eye- catchingly designed space that’s photogenic from many corners, ideal for everyone since it’s pork-free, lard-free and alcohol-free.
Food Station is a pretty standard food court, but it’s reasonable value for money. You’ll eat here for less than half the price of just about anywhere else in Great Eastern Mall. I’ll go back.
