My missus said that her brother, my bother-in-law…oopsss…I mean, my brother-in-law (Hehehehe!!! Just joking!) said that the Hokkien mee here…
…was very nice. I was here once before sometime ago for the freshwater prawn noodles but I had not been back there since.
Well, my missus and I dropped by the other day to give it a try but unfortunately, it looked like some people had not completely swung back into action after the long Chinese New Year break and the guy told us that the people making the bigger Hokkien noodles had not resumed their regular daily deliveries so if we did not mind, he would just use the eyew mee – our version of the yellow noodles that is not so yellow and minus the alkaline thing and the smell.
We said it was all right so this was served (RM3.80)…
…in no time at all and if you think that looked exactly like our Foochow fried noodles, you are absolutely right. It even tasted like it…
…and since usually, lard is used in the frying, the presence of the pork fat crusts…
…did not make any difference in the taste.
I am pretty sure that even with the right kind of noodles, it will still taste more or less the same – like Foochow fried noodles and not like KL Hokkien mee and considering that it tasted pretty good, I would not mind dropping by again if it is Foochow fried noodles that I want but no, this is not where you should be heading to if you are craving for some decent KL Hokkien mee.
