Chilli Pan Mee at Restoran Kin Kin

This is the very popular chilli pan mee that is found at Restoran Kin Kin.

Pan Mee (pronounced “pun mee”) is a noodle that is made from flour and water kneaded into a dough. In other stalls, they are usually sold with pork slices or minced pork cooked in a pork soup broth. In Restoran Kin Kin however, they have perfected the art of cooking a dry style pan mee that is truly yummy!

The dough slices are put through a machine that churns out noodles in a round shape (as opposed to being flat) This gives the noodle more bite and texture. Then, they are quickly boiled in hot water and mixed with some seasoning, before having some cooked minced pork sprinkled on it, with fried ikan bilis (anchovies), fried shallots and a poached egg. A little bowl of soup with vegetables and bits of poached egg in it accompanies the noodles.

If they aren’t too busy the dish comes to you with the egg nicely poached and the yolk still runny. Its quite important for the yolk to remain runny because what you want to do is to break the yolk and mix it all up into the noodle. It coats the noodle with a smooth layer of egg yolk and adds to the flavour of the dish. It could very well be eaten plain as it is, but you shouldn’t because here’s th next best part about eating at Restoran Kin Kin.

This is a tub of signature chilli paste mixture found only at Restoran Kin Kin. You should mix a small teaspoon of the chilli paste into the noodles to add flavour and spiciness. Be warned though that it is very spicy so go easy and add more when you feel you can handle it. This is what makes this bowl of noodles so special.

The noodles come only in 1 standard size at RM4.80 a bowl. Many people who come here have 2 because its worth having 2! Also, if you go between 11.30am to 1.30pm be prepared to wait up to an hour for your noodles, and sit in a hot cramped coffee shop. I am always very amused by the sight of people clad in office clothes - long sleeves, ties etc - sitting and sweating away in the shop. But they do, because its yummy! If you go early or after the lunch rush hour, service is a lot faster and it isn’t so stressful.

We had this yesterday - 4 persons, 6 bowls of noodles. The guys lapped it all up and enjoyed every morsel and even small eaters polished off the whole bowl of noodles! That’s testament to a yummy bowl of noodles indeed!

Restoran Kin Kin is situated in a back road running parallel to Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman. You turn left at the Honda showroom just before the Maju Junction traffic lights if you are coming down Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman. There are other wannabe chilli pan mee stalls around but for me, this one’s still the nicest. I’ve tried the one opposite this shop. Total failure. I’ve never strayed since. :)

In fact, go to KY Speaks for another awesome review and more importantly, a nice little map too! Try it… I think you’ll like it!

I miss Pan Mee! And that looks glorious!

I was in KL last weekend and purposely made a trip to this shop. Waited 1 hour though i arrived abt 10am. A bit sayang that husb and I only ordered a bowl each. Noticed that many people will have more than 1 bowl.. :( . Verdict..it is certainly different than the pan mee that we have in Penang. There is my fav shop in Penang that has PanMee with special sauce too…Hmm..i think i shall blog about it one day.
