One of the benefits about working so near to Petaling Street is the proximity to food found in the area. One popular place is Shin Kee Beef Noodles. Not many people may know the name of the shop as most people I talk to merely know it as Petaling Street Beef Noodles.
Shin Kee is located in a little hole in the wall a short walk down from Central Market. I’ve found that its best to park your car at Central Market and then walk down to the shop because there is no where nearer to park. The shop is opposite Hong Leong Bank and opposite Lai Foong coffee shop and is on the side of the busy main road so there’s nowhere to stop your car.
Space inside the shop is very limited and if you go at lunch time between 12-1pm, be prepared to wait for a table to free up. Otherwise, go just slightly earlier or slightly later and it won’t be so crowded.
The speciality is of course, beef noodles. This is of the dry variety. The noodles of your choice are blanched and then topped with the beef meat sauce. The sauce isn’t made of minced beef but of beef cooked until soft then shredded. This is what provides the taste to the noodle. I’m told that the mee they use are specially made. I don’t usually eat mee (I usually opt for meehoon (rice vermicelli) or loh shee fun, but the one served here absorbs the beef sauce well. I find that the quality varies because sometimes it is tasty and other times it is quite bland.
The noodles are served with a bowl of soup made of beef stock. In it, you can opt to have only beef slices, only beef balls or a mix of sliced beef, beef balls and tripe. I always opt for the mixed one. I find the soup a little salty but then I never drink up soup anyway. The sliced beef is cooked fresh so it is just cooked and soft and tender when served to you.
Another worthy mention is the chilli sauce that goes with the noodles. It is spicy and slightly sourish which compliments the beef noodles nicely.
There are a few famous beef noodle stalls in Kuala Lumpur serving variations of the same dish. This is one of them; the others I know of are the corner shop at Jalan Silang and Ngau Kee in Tengkat Tong Shin. Maybe I’ll review some of the others soon. Shin Kee is only open until 3.30pm and I am told that they also run a stall inside the Petaling Street area in the evenings until late at night. I’ve eaten there too but I’m not sure if it is still there now.
A bowl of noodles costs RM5. Rather pricey but I believe this is now the going rate at all beef noodle stalls.
