It Has Been Ages Since.......
Two evenings ago, we decided to take a drive from PJ to this place in Jalan Pahang, KL, said to serve one of the best hokkien-mee this side of the planet. Yup, those sinfully delicious, lip-smacking noodles that glisten in thick and black soya sauce. I like it when it is presented with generous amounts of meat, prawns, white sotong and vegetables.
We left PJ at about 8.00pm, thinking that the afterwork traffic would have eased up by then, but we were soooo wrong. Main roads and highways were chocful of vehicles after the earlier downpour and a couple of fender-benders along the way only made the crawl worse.
So after something like an eternity, we finally arrived in 'mum-mumland' and by that time the tummy was already growling. Heard that it is not uncommon to have to stand around and wait for seats but we were lucky…managed to get a table along the five-foot way so, it was alfresco dining for us. I quickly waved the chap over to take our orders. Err...not too friendly…no smiles…no hellos, no menu, just stone-faced, so I just asked him for recommendations. He mumbled something and I thought I heard him speak Cantonese that sounded kinda foreign. Not too sure if he is an orang asing from
As we were already very, very hungry by then, I looked to the table next to us and simply indicated to Mr Stoneface that we shall have just that. Service was reasonably fast and the food arrived soon enough…..piping-hot fried fish cake, a plate of sweet-and-spicy lala, a plate of greens and of course, the hokkien-mee. Then I eyed another dish….not sure what it was but it looked delicious so, I signaled to Mr Stoneface that we shall have that as well. Ahhh….I was pleasantly surprised……
This is pek-kueh fried hokkien style and it has been ages since I last tasted it. I like its chewy texture and I think it is made from rice and tapioca flour dough, cut into thin, thumb-length strips and then boiled. The cooked strips are then fried hokkien-mee style or served soupy-style with minced meat, gizzards or seafood.
3 of us cleaned out the plates and bowls in no time at all…**burrpssss….**

Hi Angeles,
Jalan Pahang is where Tawakal Hospital is and this hokkien-mee is among the row of shops behind the hospital.
The road where DBP stands is Jalan Dewan Bahasa, I think. You small suakoo asking a big-time suakoo. hahahaha...

Hi Kat,
Been to Ang Kee before but we had something else. Errr...cannot really remember what, but it was not pek kueh. Must go and try next.
That Eye on Malaysia...if I remember right, it was supposed to have been dismantled quite a while back but of late, I heard that they will keep it until 31 Aug 2008. Got good response kua..

wAH..food again...everywhere I go there are postings on food..shucks..now midnite..hungry liao
I know that Tawakal Hospital...last time, they said Sudirman died there (AIDS?). It's near Tasek Titiwangsa where the Eye of Malaysia is. See!!! Me, halfway across the world also know! Not so suakoo hor???
Never try the pek-kueh fried hokkien style yet leh. But judging from the almost clean plate after the meal, it must be delicious :D
The nostalgic Jalan Pahang.. cos i stay nearby there (in Jalan Temerloh) for 5 years more than a decade ago :)
Before i had my motorbike, i always get down at the Tawakal bus stop (I still remember the mini bus no ~ No 14 or 49), and had to walk for almost 30 minutes across the Titiwangsa Lake to reach my hostel. That's the nearest bus stop to get down. Those were the days. Nowadays if u ask me to walk for 30 minutes to reach a place ah... Thank u loh. Hahhahahhahhaaahha...
I belum lagi naik itu Eyes on Malaysia Ferris Wheel yet :(

Hi Chev,
If you like chewy texture, then I think you will like the pek-kueh.
wow....you have lots of memories of the Jalan Pahang vicinity...5 long years! You must know that area like the back of your hands...especially when you tiap-tiap hari jalan kaki. And fuiyoh...30 minutes walk, one way from the bus stop. hahahah....BTW, when was the last time you took a ride on public buses? Must go ride on one, for old times' sake. hahahaha...

Hi Ah Nel,

Hi Suituapui,
No lar...it won't runtuh...Trust the operators to arrange the seating....Cigku on one side of the wheel and the rest on the other side...so no worries of the EYE toppling over. hahahahahaa....
There are mini buses in Subang Jaya area. So when you come here next, must go for a spin..this time, around Sunway Lagoon.
And 1986? I was already riding in them pink mini buses. Strange that you did not notice me, standing next to you in the bus. hahhhaaa...

Makes me crave for more M'sian food la, Nyonya. And some more Hokkien mee pulak. :)
When I was in KL, my friend wanted to take me to the Eye of Malaysia and take pictures, but the weather wasn't cooperating. Maybe on my next trip. *wondering* will it still be there?

Hi Dawn,
You like hokkien-mee also? This particular shop serves on of the better ones.
It's a pity that you missed the EYE on your last trip. Ya, I remember....it was raining every other day then. Nevermind, on your next trip back, if this EYE is dismantled, I am sure a bigger EYE will be up.
