Pan Mee or Mee Hoon Kueh? Its the same

by - 8:59 PM

What is 'Pan Mee' or 'Mee Hoon Kueh'? Its the same, except that one is in Cantonese dialect, whilst the other is Hokkien, respectively. The first image that comes up when one says, 'Let's go eat 'Pan Mee' or 'Mee Hoon Kueh', as for me, the one that i had is normally the hand made type as I grew up eating yummy home cooked Mee Hoon Kueh by my talented mum.

It never crosses my mind that Pan Mee can be made into any other style! Until, I was introduced by a good friend, who had now migrated to UK. He was a 'fanatic' and would visit this every week-end.

This Pan Mee is very different - as described earlier, noodle type, and is Restauran Kin Kin's specialty+homemade dried chilly. The noodles is being served with a parboiled egg (it is done to perfection!) and served dry, that comes with a bowl of vegetable soup (kau kei). The best part is, to add a spoonful (depending on how spicy you like) into the noodles, mixed it up and ready to be enjoyed to the fullest. You can dig in as much as you'd like to the dried chilly, as they generously leaves a container of it on each table.

They do serve the typical, handmade Pan Mee, soup type. This is nothing to shout about compared to their special.

As you can see from the below photo, you can also order side dishes like 'fu chook' and 'pork meat ball' too. I particularly like the 'fu chook' too as its not too thick yet tasty. They do sell for you to take home, make your own anchovy soup, and add on the 'fu chook' & meatballs. But you need to specify you want the non-cooked one :)


This shop is located in KL - behind the main road of Chow Kit. The landmarks to look out for are:
In between Shell Station and Pizza Hut (which are on your left), there is a lane which you turn in, and take the first right turn. As you cruise that lane, the shop is located on your left hand side, next to a car workshop.

Be forewarned, it is rather crowded during lunch hour and requires patience. My advice is, be there really early around 12pm or after 130pm when lunch crowds rushes back to their mundane work with a satisfied tummy.

Happy searching :)
