Moi (Porridge) @ Pan Mee HaHa笑, Bandar Puchong Jaya

Previous visit to Pan Mee HaHa笑.

This time, we had porridge (moi).

Pork Soup Moi

I love this kind of porridge. It's more like rice soaked in soup. Look at the amount of vegetables and liver! This is definitely my favorite bowl of moi in town!

Kampung Chicken Egg and Seaweed Moi

This bowl is pretty good too if you love eggs in your moi!

Fancy Pan Mee @ Pan Mee HaHa笑, Bandar Puchong Jaya

Pan Mee HaHa笑 Restaurant (No. 43-01, Jalan Kenari 19A, Bandar Puchong Jaya) has a rather funky way in selling their pan mee.

Here's our lunch last Sunday (also the 15th day of this year's Chinese New Year).

Hubby chose Chili Pan Mee - the purplish noodles contain beetroot.

I chose Spicy Chicken Feet Pan Mee (Dry) - the yellowish noodles contain pumpkin.

******************************

Here's the chart of their color pan mee.

Traditional, pumpkin, coriander, brown rice, purple cabbage, spinach, and beetroot.

I don't mind going back to try the rest of the colors. :D

Food bites over the weekend

Burnt Butter Wild Mushroom Salad @ Ben's, Publika Solaris Dutamas
 
This is the perfect salad for mushroom lovers. I couldn't resist poking around my plate looking for different mushroom "species" among a bunch of rocket, spinach, coriander, caramelized walnut, garlic, and chunks of melted butter and cheese. Thumbs up!

Red Velvet Cake @ Ben's, Publika Solaris Dutamas

 

Packed with sugary goodness. One mouthful is enough for a petite eater like me. :) I've heard about red velvet cake before but didn't actually get to try it. I love those red and brown layers and the cream cheese icing around is simply decadent!

Chocolate Truffle Torte @Ben's, Publika Solaris Dutamas

 

I'm still wondering until now why is it served with a glass of fresh milk? This truffle torte is very chocolatey, gooey, and oh-my-god-so-darn-sweet. Definitely too sweet to my liking. I feel like I'm eating a huge slice of mooncake dusted with cocoa powder.

Pan Mee with thin noodles (top) & Pan Mee with pumpkin thin noodles (bottom) @ Jalan Sepakat, OUG

Found this pan mee stall in OUG while we were hunting for lunch on Sunday. Hubby ordered his usual fix of pan mee with thin noodles while I got myself a bowl of pan mee with pumpkin noodles. I requested for more cekur manis and I got a whole bowl full of them! Yay! We shall visit them again when we happen to be around the OUG area.

Pan Mee @ Golden Egg Chili Noodle, Off Jalan Kuchai Lama

Golden Egg Chili Noodle
No. 32, Jalan Kuchai Maju 9, Off Jalan Kuchai Lama, 58200 Kuala Lumpur

Landmark: Beside JoJo Little Kitchen, same row as Win Soon Fish Head Noodles.

Golden Egg Chili Noodle's Pan Mee selections are considered standard and traditional, not the funky type you'd get at Ceggo Food Station. From their menu, their traditional Pan Mee (soup) is known as Golden Pan Mee. The rest includes Chili Pan Mee (David's favorite), Dry Pan Mee, Dry Chicken Curry Pan Mee, Singapore Laksa Pan Mee (this sounds interesting!), Lo Pan Mee, Pork Pan Mee (this sounds pretty interesting too!), Hokkien Fried Pan Mee, and Spicy Fried Pan Mee.

Huge pictures of Pan Mee are displayed all over the wall.

Golden Pan Mee
Golden Pan Mee is the traditional soup Pan Mee. This big bowl of steaming, flavorful broth is packed with noodles, pork, pork balls, black fungus slices, Chinese mushroom slices, and fried anchovies.

Chili Pan Mee
Look at those orangey noodles. They're known as spicy chili noodles if I'm not mistaken. David is delighted with the presence of a soft-boiled egg, the most important ingredient for a delicious bowl of Chili Pan Mee, apart from dry chili flakes.

I'd say Golden Egg Chili Noodle serves good Pan Mee too if you're comparing them with JoJo Little Kitchen, which seems to fare better than Golden Egg Chili Noodle in terms of customer crowd during lunch time. Anyway, if you happen to be at Kuchai Lama Entrepreneurs Park, Golden Egg Chili Noodle is one of the recommended places to dine.

3rd Visit: Ceggo Food Station, Taman Danau Desa

Don't ask me why did I visit this restaurant again and again. :P The reasons are pretty obvious. Their Pan Mee dishes are delicious, they have interesting varieties of Pan Mee, and the portion for each dish is pretty big and worth the money you pay.

Address: 15, Plaza Danau 2, Jalan 5/109F, Taman Danau Desa, KL (behind Hong Leong Bank, next to Korean Mart).

Check out my first and second visit.

Loh Pan Mee
As usual, I love hand-pulled noodles for my Pan Mee. Loh Pan Mee is an interesting variety and you might want to give it a try if you'd like something different from the traditional Pan Mee. Its ingredients are the same but the broth is thickened just like how Loh Mee is prepared. Add vinegar as much as you like and eat while it's steaming hot. If you're a Loh Mee lover, you'll love Ceggo's Loh Pan Mee.

Black Pepper Pan Mee (Dry)

David chooses Black Pepper Pan Mee and the friendly staff who serves us suggests the dry version with flat noodles. This interesting dish comes with a bowl of clear vegetable broth. The noodles are deliciously mixed with a generous amount of ground black pepper and dark soy sauce. The clear broth does help to tone down the fiery feeling on your tongue that derives from the black peppered noodles. Pretty interesting, not a common dish you'd find elsewhere.

Overall, lunch is good. :)

2nd Visit: Ceggo Food Station, Taman Danau Desa

Ceggo Food Station at Taman Danau Desa is famous for their Pan Mee dishes. Apart from the traditional soup and dry Pan Mee, Ceggo is also known for their special Pan Mee versions such as Tomato Pan Mee, Pumpkin Pan Mee, Spinach Pan Mee, and many more.

Check out my first visit to this restaurant. Oh, and my third visit too. :)

Address: 15, Plaza Danau 2, Jalan 5/109F, Taman Danau Desa, KL (behind Hong Leong Bank, next to Korean Mart).

Spinach Pan Mee
I choose the hand-pulled noodles for my steaming bowl of Spinach Pan Mee. I'm delighted to see the pale green noodles and spinach leaves in steaming delicious-smelling broth. The broth is clear and not oily. I love my healthy lunch today!

Tom Yam Pan Mee
David, being more adventurous, chooses Tom Yam Pan Mee. This sinful looking bowl of noodles boasts of aromatic, flavorful Tom Yam broth and packed with black fungus slices, dried fuchuk, some cauliflowers, lemongrass, chicken meat, etc. No seafood.

Overall, lunch is good. :)

Face To Face Noodles House @ Plaza Danau 2, Taman Danau Desa

Face To Face Noodles House (面对面板面专卖店) is located at Plaza Danau 2, Jalan 2/109F, Taman Danau Desa, same row as Hong Leong Bank and KFC.

Note: Click on photo & view the larger version in another tab/window.

I love noodles dishes! Face To Face Noodles House offers an extensive variety of noodles, specializing in Sarawak Noodles and interesting choices of Pan Mee dishes. Beverage choices are pretty good too. Awesome!

Eight Treasures Dessert
 
Despite feeling disappointed to be presented with a tiny glass of pinkish shaved ice instead of a glass bowl normally used to served ais kacang, we still love the mixed beans and stuff that topped the ice. However, we sincerely feel that they could have done better with a larger portion. :)

Chili Sauce Sarawak Noodles
 
It's hard to find good, authentic Sarawak noodles in Klang Valley. So, whenever these dishes appear on menus, I'll give them a try. Face To Face Noodle House's Chili Sauce Sarawak Noodles dish tastes pretty good although the noodles are rather wet, sticky, and not as fragrant. Perhaps this restaurant doesn't use lard to give the noodles the well-known glistening look and aroma just like its authentic counterpart.

House Specialty Hot & Spicy Pan Mee
 
At other Pan Mee restaurant, this similar dish would be known as Chili Pan Mee. Face To Face calls theirs as House Specialty Hot & Spicy Pan Mee. It tastes pretty good but a big eater won't be satisfied with its portion. Add more chilies if you want extra kick! If you're still hungry, you can order their side dishes.
 
There's even a step-by-step guide on how to enjoy your Hot & Spicy Pan Mee!

Overall, if you stay around Taman Desa area and plan to have a brunch, light lunch or tea, this restaurant would be a very ideal choice. :)

Pan Mee @ Ceggo Food Station, Taman Danau Desa

Today's lunch is pretty satisfying as David and I find ourselves drawn into this interesting Pan Mee restaurant called Ceggo Food Station.

Address: 15, Plaza Danau 2, Jalan 5/109F, Taman Danau Desa, KL (behind Hong Leong Bank, next to Korean Mart).

Check out Ceggo Food Station on Facebook and their website - Ceggo Pan Mee.

There are a few Herbalife containers used as chopsticks and tissue holder on each table. An interesting drink called Herbalife Tea Mix is on their drinks menu as well.

Somewhere on the wall, I spotted this enticing advertisement about "The Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Pan Mee" (Traditional Pan Mee with a punch of Dragon Fruit, served with fresh juicy Tiger Prawns). Power! It's not served every day and their latest promotion is on this Friday, 17 September 2010, 11am-12pm and 1-2pm.

Here's the list of a variety of Pan Mee dishes at Ceggo Food Station - Special Spinach, Tomato, Pumpkin, Malat (Spicy), Traffic Light, "Loh", and Fried Sui Kau. You know what? I don't mind revisiting this restaurant again and again till I savor all of them! :P

For today's lunch, David and I opt for the not-so-regular Pan Mee dishes. I have the Pumpkin Pan Mee whereas he, the Tomato Pan Mee.

Tomato Pan Mee
Tomato Pan Mee is served with delicious tomato-ish broth with a slight tinge of sweetness and sourness. Packed with lots of vegetables, including tomatoes, carrot slices, and a few stalks of cauliflowers and broccoli, this is definitely one of the not-so-regular Pan Mee dishes that you must try!

Pumpkin Pan Mee
I love pumpkins and I'm so delighted to be served with a bowl of steaming Pan Mee swimming in a creamy broth that smells so good! Like Tomato Pan Mee, it's also packed with vegetables. However, I can't seem to find any pumpkin chunks. Perhaps the goodness of pumpkins are all in the sweet-smelling and tasty light yellow broth. I wonder if they will add pumpkin chunks if I ask for them next time. This is also definitely one of the not-so-regular Pan Mee dishes that you must try!

Seriously, I don't mind revisiting this restaurant again and again till I savor all of their Pan Mee dishes!

I did! Check out my second and third visit.

Cha-Cha Pan Mee Original @ Aman Suria + Tappers Cafe @ Jaya One

If I'm not cooking, David and I love to hunt for food around town on weekends and public holidays, if time allows us. :)

For lunch, we went to Cha-Cha Pan Mee Original @ Jalan PJU 1/43, Aman Suria, Petaling Jaya, Selangor.

Note: This restaurant has moved to a smaller lot also in Aman Suria.

We ordered two versions of pan mee - soup & dry and shared a bowl of fuchuk soup. Comparatively, I think this restaurant's dry pan mee has a strong, distinctive flavor. However, it's a tad too salty to my taste and too bad, it doesn't come with an egg. You need to pay an extra RM1 for the egg.

A light-eater like me will always prefer the smallest portion available. To my surprise, I have to "devour" quite a huge bowl of dry pan mee at RM5.50 (small). David's pan mee soup is priced at RM6.50 (big), if I remember correctly.

******************************

For dinner, we went to Tappers Cafe @ Block D, Jaya One, Jalan Universiti, Petaling Jaya, Selangor.

Onion rings for appetizer.

I chose Chicken & Egg French Toast. However, I can't bring myself to finish eating this not-so-presentable toast. I think RM4.50 is way too costly for such a miserable looking plate of toast.

David's choice was nicer - Chicken Parmigiana served with french fries and coleslaw. 

Chicken Parmigiana is a dish consists of Mozzarella and Parmesan cheese melt over breaded chicken in spaghetti/tomato sauce. I took a few bites of the chicken. It's tender but would do better if the breaded layer is not that burnt. Overall, this dish's considered okay.

I've a few more restaurants in mind that I want to go. I'm really looking forward to more weekends to come! :D

Pan Mee @ JoJo Little Kitchen, SS15, Subang Jaya

I've been to Super Kitchen's "Chilly" Pan Mee @ Chow Yang, SS2 a few times. This restaurant sells pan mees that are reported to be among the best in town.

Well, this time round, I went to this restaurant called JoJo Little Kitchen at Jalan SS15/40, Subang Jaya, which is also famous for its variety of pan mees.

It's very near Inti College & Starbucks in Subang Jaya. Search for the block of shoplots that faces the main road and with Guardian Pharmacy as the landmark. JoJo Little Kitchen is located on the same row.

Here's the restaurant.

Chilli Pan Mee / Lat Jiu Pan Mee
Look at that gooey egg yolk. If you love to set your tastebuds on fire, add more chilli flakes please. :P By the way, you can choose either coarse or fine noodles. The noodles shown in the photos above and below are the fine type.

Mix everything well before eating. Make sure every strand of your pan mee is coated with egg yolk, minced meat, spinach, ikan bilis, and most importantly, chilli flakes! Superb!

Herbal Chicken Pan Mee
Excellent portion of chunks of chicken meat, Chinese herbs, spinach and noodles in flavorful herbal soup! A generous amount of ginger slices adds ummph to this excellent dish! I tried my very best to finish this monster bowl of goodness! :D

Triple Colored Coffee
I can't remember what exactly are the 3 layers. They should be coffee, milk, sweetener (I guess it's brown sugar or gula melaka).

Oh yeah, that's David, my boyfriend. Say hello if you want to. :)

Restoran Super Kitchen Chilly Pan Mee (辣椒板面) Batu Road @ Chow Yang, SS2

Simple. It's at Chow Yang, Jalan SS2/10, same row as Kayu Nasi Kandar.

Check out the prices of the noodles on this simple menu. Not bad huh?

Pan Mee Soup

Dumplings in Soup

Chilly Pan Mee, yes, it's spelled as 'Chilly'. :)

If you love Pan Mee, especially Chili Pan Mee, of which you can adjust its spiciness according to your taste buds' tolerance, you MUST visit this shop! :) On each table is a container filled with dried chili flakes with dried shrimps, I guess. Scoop as much as you like and mix it with your pan mee. I tell you, spicy food lovers will love that extra kick! You might even have second helpings!
