Hong Kong's Food Culture @ Low Yat Plaza

This Hong Kong-style Shrimp Wan Tan Dry Noodle is unlike any other wan tan mee that I've tried. The homemade noodle is finer and tastier too. On top of this, what else, you'll be served a bowl of soup with five (not the usual three) plump and juicy shrimp soup wan tan. As you know this is a rare treat in KL. You should also try the roast duck dishes here.

Oh, if you like Mongkok style street food -- fried Taiwan sausages, curry fish balls, spring rolls, etc -- you can also order it from their snack stall upstairs (just a few steps up).

Restaurant Char Siew Zhai Wan Tan Mee @ Paramount Garden

 

The noodle texture, springy; sauce, good; wan tan, nothing to shout about--just slightly bigger in size; the char siew, however, is mouth-watering!

The best part of the pork is usually the belly with some visible fat (half fat meat) but this time I opted for lean meat. Thinking that I'll be given the non-meaty, dry, hard and rough meat texture, I lowered my expectation of a hearty meal...    

But to my surprise, the meat was soft and meaty; it's juicy, tender and roasted to charred sweet perfection! Need I say more?

I was really glad the stall owner didn't cut the char siew meat as thin as manila card as was done by some (as though they want to show off their culinary "skill!")
