For some reason, I have never eaten pan mee before in my life. I noticed that my colleague often ordered the pan mee from this Penang stall at Uncle Ho’s foodcourt in Avenue K. After countless recommendation from him, I decided to try one myself, and I’m loooovvviiiinnng it, baby!
Like any normal pan mee stall, you can either choose to have the dry version (stirred in black sauce) or the wet version (with soup). However, I prefer the dry one, which is served in a rather big bowl of pan mee that is lightly stirred in tasty black sauce with spinach, fried ikan bilis, shredded chicken flesh, spring onion and bats’ ears (that black veggie-like thingy). It also comes with another bowl of soup, sprinkled with spring and fried onions.
Dry Pan Mee With A Bowl Of Soup
But…the texture of the mee is slightly dry (even after you mix it with the sauce) and for a second, I thought, gee…am I eating an edible chewing gum? Not that it’s rubberish, but they both share similar ‘skin’! Ah, fret not, I’d recommend you to douse the mee with several spoonful of soup and mix it evenly with the black sauce (which stays mostly at the bottom of the bowl). That’ll do the trick.
Tasty Mee! ~BURPPPPPP!!!~
Priced at RM4.50, this bowl of pan mee is definitely worth your penny, especially if you work around the KLCC area. However, the queue at this stall tends to grow very long at peak hours and after much observation, I can safely say that this stall has the longest queue of all!
Location: Basement of Avenue K, Uncle Ho’s Foodcourt, 156 Jalan Ampang, 50560 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Stall name: Traditional Penang Food
Crowd: The queue usually begins from 12.30pm onwards and most of the time it stretches across the other chicken rice stall next to it. Poor chickie chick stall!
