Since the last couple of months, Malaysian have been treated with a few hilarious situation, it started off with ‘It looked like ‘mee’, sound like ‘mee’ but it is certainly not ‘mee’, to sodo-’mee’ II; how ‘mee’ was ravaged by an old man who is suffering from backache, to ‘mee’ will bury you and your political career.
But let’s move on to more serious stuff, food-nalism sounds more fulfilling.
This entry actually brings back some memories, the times when I was still a college student moving around at the mercy of our ever failing public transportation system. This stall has been here for like donkey years.
A brief chat with the boss, who seemed to look much younger, proudly states that his father started the business here more than 30 years ago, at this same spot! (So I am wondering, the generation of rats that lived in the area were actually brought up eating Hokkien Mee, snickers 
).
Well this place has certainly changed compared to those days; it is definitely much cleaner, looks more organized and much brighter, but the cooking pit still remains the same.
In general, Hokkien Mee has always been the all time favourite of Malaysians, and this store ranks among one of the famous few. Quite distinct, the portioning for a one person meal is quite generous, with big yummy looking prawns and other delicious looking animal parts; would like to add that I ordered with additional toppings which cost me extra RM2.00.
Overall the taste was at least a step lower comparing back to the days when the old man was doing the cooking. I am guessing that either the ‘kung-fu’ was not passed down entirely to his son or the son wasn’t concentrating hard enough when taught.
Don’t get me wrong here, the taste was generally delicious, but somehow the noodles tasted a bit too starchy for my liking. But one thing they don’t hold back is the ingredients used, most stores failed when it comes to seafood, which is usually either not fresh or too small a portion, but here they are definitely fresh especially the prawns, solid to the bite and felt crunchy too.
So to those who is always on the move by foot between Klang Bus Station/ Central Market heading towards China Town or Kotaraya, do make a short stop over and add this famous Hokkien Mee to your profile of stores ever eaten in.
good and tasty food tends to be oily, unhealthy huh? long time didn’t go there to eat already, few years back… still remember the big flame of the frying action when eating this during night time, think they use charcoal last time, now use gas?
Mm..delicious, i don’t remember well when my last time of slurping hokkien mee =P
Yeah those days using charcoal seems to make the noodle taste better … guess the ‘kung fu’ is lesser now
