They are actually a fairly decent copy and I’ve been around enough to say this. It’s just a shame they are across the road from the original. It takes some guts to set up a shop selling the same kind of noodles as the pioneer with its 30 year legacy.

I actually think that the ‘copycat’ noodle restaurant has branched out to a number of locations around the KLang Valley and are doing quite well. I’m not surprised as there decent-enough Pan Mee will win hearts where there are many, many stalls and restaurants serving very sub-standard Pan Mee – dry or wet.

It’s only fairly recently that Kin Kin have moved off its laurels and launched its second restaurant…they certainly took some time getting round to it and have already lost some valuable expansion opportunities to vendors with less talent perhaps, but more ambition.
