Restoran Kin Kin - Fantastic Pan Mee @ Kuala Lumpur

This is my second time blogging Restoran Kin Kin Pan Mee. There are many other Pan Mee shops in town but Kin Kin is quite unique in its own way.

It started from a humble stall operating at a road side at the same vicinity as their current premise and after years of good business they moved into this shop lot.

They used to LCLY (lan ci lan yong). The menu is simple there is no such thing as big or small bowl all the same, no such thing such more soup and can not add anything extra. That is the way business is done here. Even the drinks offered are limited. You want it you take it, or you can just leave. They can be LCLY cos their Pan Mee is good. Isn’t it unique?

A small bowl of tasty sweet potato leaves soup which is always my favourite but this time there is no pork meat in it anymore. I just wonder whether this is their latest recipe for the soup.

This is the only place where you have to cut your own chili padi with a small scissors. Isn’t it unique?

The super duper dry chili I had 3 scoops of this stuff.

You have to take the lime yourself at the severy counter if you desire to have lime for your Pan Mee. Isn’t it unique?

I like it hot, added 2 chili padi and a squeeze of fresh lime into my Pan Mee.

This was my ultimate meal of Pan Mee. It was awesome. What a fantastic breakfast for me to start my day.

This shop at the opposite of Restoran Kin Kin, is their rival “Super Kitchen” and they are aggressive opening branches all over Klang Valley under the banner of “Chili Pan Mee”. “Kin” means fast in Hokkien. Super Kitchen is real “Kin” and Kin Kin is not that “Kin” after all in expanding.

Kin Kin has one and only one branch at Pandan Indah (6-G, Jalan Perubatan 4, Off Jalan Pandan Ilmu, Pandan Indah) which is managed by the son.

Let's enjoy your Pan Mee @ Kin Kin.

Pan Mee @ Lorong Haji Taib 4 & 5, Chow Kit, KL.

This is a popular Pan Mee stall in the vicinity of Chow Kit area and has been in business since 1975. It was so long time ago (a year before I came to KL for study & cari makan). And apparently acclaimed as the original hand made noodle in town.

It is located at the road bend between Lorong Haji Taib 4 & 5 probably you can call it the 'Pan Mee Corner' of Chow Kit.

In the bowl of noodle there are plenty of mushrooms sliced into thin pieces, fried shallot, thin slices of lean meat, vege “sawi” and the hand made noodle.

I have found it was never my bowl of noodle since the first time I tried several years back and it’s still not my bowl of noodle when I tried again this morning. Why?
Somehow something is missing.... yeah no ikan billis lah, I mean anchovies (maybe I would like it with something more interesting, crunchy and tasty what will go very well with the Pan Mee). But it is all very personal. I know of a friend who likes it so much and will keep on visiting this place. Surely it is his kind of noodle!

You can see these chili sauce and others on each and every table.

A Dose of Indonesian Padang Foods in Little Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur

You have heard of 24 hours Mamak Stalls, but have you ever heard of 24 Hours Masakan Padang (Indonesia) Stall. Yes! There is this stall at Jalan Raja Alang that serves 24 hours Indonesia foods starting from 1st of February 2010 and that is “Restoran Seri Garuda Emas”.

My friend, Danny Chan brought me here to savour some Padang food in the vicinity of “Little Jakarta” in Chow Kit of Kuala Lumpur. Mr. Andy, the Owner of the Stall was there to catch up with Danny and informed us that he will be expanding the premises soon.

Sambal of Red and Green were gorgeous. These were surprisingly not as “HOT” as our Malaysian Sambal belacan. No sweat man for those Northern Malaysian people. We really love hot stuff……

A selection of healthy Ulam was set for our lunch.
Curry squids were delicious with strong coconut milk gravy that makes you eat with lot of plain rice.

Ayam Kampung Goreng Panas - is a popular dish in this place and it was indeed a delicious fried village chicken.

Sup Tulang – a plain beef soup that was nice and not oily which surprises me of it clearness’.

Udang Sambal Petai – it was another tasty dish which I enjoyed very much with the right taste of saltiness and fragrant of prawns & petai.

Chapatti Shop @ Back Lane Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman has Moved

This no name chapatti shop has moved to a new premise. This place is bigger than the previous but situated at the same back lane of Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman. The new location is actually the rear of Kowloon Hotel.
A typical breakfast of RM5.00 of this chapatti with a curry fish and a glass of Nescafe ‘O’. Oil free chapatti good for your health. A very popular chapatti shop in Kuala Lumpur. See my previous posting of their former place here.

Penang Nasi Kandar in Kuala Lumpur

By judging from the people queuing for the food it can vouch that the place is popular and the food must be good. This Indian Muslim shop, Mohd Yaseen Nasi kandar Pulau Pinang is located at the street of Kuala Lumpur called Tuanku Abdul Rahman where it neighbors a string of motor repair shops. According to my eating buddy, he said that this place is authentic for nasi kandar, and mostly others are modified nasi kandar or boutique nasi kandar found every where in Klang valley.
By the way, nasi kandar was meant to be sold on this type of basket carry over the shoulder with a pole. The word “kandar” means “carry at each end of a pole on the shoulder”. The business was brisk eventhough we were there after lunch hour (immediately after 2.00pm).

Chappati Breakfast @ Tunku Abdul Rahman Road

One of the few Chappati joints which I like to frequent and this one is located at Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman. A "no name" shop and entrance from behind, of course operated by a Sikh, somewhere very near Coliseum Theatre .
