Verdict: Overall, it’s a good find of Lala Noodle and we enjoyed our food for this initial visit.
Although not the best we’ve tried, we find Pong Kee’s seafood noodles to be decent – thanks to the freshness of seafood, and tasty broth. Pong Kee is worth a visit if you’re craving for seafood noodles in the area.
♥Verdict: The Kopitiam was really packed during our visit and the table arrangement was quite cramped within the space. Apart from the food I shared, there are Chee Cheong Fun, chicken rice, pork noodles, Wonton Mee, Teowchew seafood porridge and seafood noodles (Sang Har Meen).
It was quite a journey as our main intention was to experience the well-talk-about poached chicken.
Hakka mee is also available, and best enjoyed with his “5 treasures beef ball” which comes with tenderloin, tripe, tendon, beef slice and a beef meat ball stuffed with juicy minced beef. You are also given two types of chili: red and green. The difference? The green version is concocted with belacan and spicier too.
Claypot chicken rice 1 pax @ RM 8 (if I remember correctly) is filled with fresh chicken that is well marinated and Chinese sausage.. Soft and juicy that cook to perfection. Best of all, it comes with a slab of salty fish. (you have an option not to have it). But it is a must have ingredient for me in my claypot chicken rice.
If you are enticed to try it, you can get it at a unnamed claypot chicken rice stall at Jalan Ipoh. This little food haven is a ‘wai sek kai’ of sorts filled with various food stalls selling different kinds of food throughout the day. And that’s not counting a couple of other coffee shops nearby that offer the usual hawker fares.
Instead of ordering from their preset menu, I usually customize my order to include only the seafood I felt like having. Oyster is a must for me because it’s so hard to get really fresh ones in the city. This time, I went slightly overboard while ordering so the noodle cost me RM27.50. But as you can see, it was loaded with plenty of seafood so it’s worth the price.
