Pan Mee (Flat Flour Noodle Soup) @ Batu 11, Cheras  

Posted by: Julia in

Decided to visit the very special smooth pan mee with sui kow (dumplings) stall in Taman Indah, Batu 11, Cheras.

This pan mee place is located in New Village Taman Indah, Batu 11, Balakong. It’s a corner house converted into a makan place. This place is noisy, hot, the ceiling fan doesn't work (just stand fan), and don't even have to look at the floor BUT this place is super crowded during lunch time (not just on working days, even the weekends). Everyone just cannot resist the pan mee, no matter how uncomfortable the place is.

There are many other places which are popular with pan mee, but this is one of the good ones. From the moment you're served with the steaming hot bowl of pan mee loaded with lot (really a lot) of spinach, some pork bits (trust me, go for the small one, even though the small one also such a big bowl), you will enjoy the taste of the smooth texture of the flat noodle, add some of their special sauce (sour and spicy) to whet your appetite more. Sprinkle some crispy anchovies (ikan bilis), fried onions (shallots) and a little touch of pepper, the smell is heavenly.

Top up your meal with some nice juicy dumplings and you will have a super satisfying lunch that will remind you to come back for more. They're plumped with prawns inside which you can see the orangey bits under the translucent sui kow skins.

They only serve soup style pan mee and you can pick either broad or thin noodles. Broad version is torn style. If you have stuffy nose or wind in you tummy come and have a bowl...guarantee you will feel better after that. The clear broth made from anchovies is sweet and definitely no or very little MSG (testimony - not thirsty after this). The pan mee itself is chewy but the thin parts were soft and slippery, absolutely a slurpilicious delight!

Price:

The small bowl of pan mee is around M3.80 per bowl.

A must have:

A packet of tissue because you'll be sweating like in sauna room....a well worth sauna experience!
