Chilly Pan MeeHow spicy can you be?
One bite, tummies burning, lips swollen, tongues wagging
Glands perspiring, nose running
Aiyoh, your vengence so scornful!
Not really sure which attracted me most, the chilli or the pan mee part. By the way, for the better part of my younger years, its has always been ‘Meen Hoon Kueh’. Ever since I started work, it has evolved to ‘Pan Mee’ since people seem to give me a frowning stare when I call it otherwise.
A very simple noodle dish and just so homey.
Anchovies are fried before adding water then boiled to make the clear soup stock. The noodles are usually hand torn from a simple dough mixture of plain flour, water and a little salt. The traditional basic noodles are usually served with some blanched vegetables, mince meat, marinated Chinese mushrooms, fried anchovies and some shallots. But of course you can vary the condiments to suit your preference or enhance the flavour by adding a little ginger wine or just load it with lots of chilli.
Which is what I came here to do – daring to push my senses (what’s left anyway) to its maximum for a spicy ordeal, talk about a food sadist huh? For best results, go for the ‘dry version’.
The experience re-enacted….

The food served. 
Check the egg yolk is runny. Otherwise, reject it for being overcooked (well I would anyway).
Then add a few spoonfuls of this, more if you think I am a wuss and pale in comparison to REAL spicy chilli warriors!
Start mixing it all up – key is to achieve a consistent ‘red’ mixture, generously and evenly coating each noodle strand! Lolz
Yummy huh? Start savouring.
Woah…quickly taking a few big and long gulps of the cool longan herbal drink for some relief.
Need a few emergency tissues? They are all conveniently located on the walls!!!
Jokes aside.
Do be weary of the chilli. Unless you want to give your senses an unforgettable jolt. Best to add the chilli gradually. Afterall you do want to enjoy the noodle dish right and not end up suffering or do you?!! :) *well, you’ve been warned*
For the faint-hearted, do not be discouraged. They also serve the original clear soupy version and also dumplings for those who need more to fill up!
Locations:
They have a few branches - KL, Kepong Kota Damansara, PJ and USJ.
