Sang Har Mee at Fun Kee Restaurant

Sang Har Mee at Fun Kee Restaurant

We heard so much about this place and we drove past it almost every evening. Never a day we remembered of having our dinner there until I was told by my uncle last week. This is Fun Kee, a Chinese restaurant specializing in producing Bamboo Noodle. Bamboo noodle is a homemade noodle by using the bamboo pressing technique and the result is a smooth and tangy texture noodle.

After so much praises and recommendations, we spent our dinner at this restaurant. It is located at the main road of Jalan Sungai Besi, just a few steps after the CIMB Bank (if you are traveling from Kuala Lumpur to Sungai Besi direction) and before the Shell Station. For parking, make a quick exit on the left at Jalan Chan Sow Lin Satu and park near the main road and walk to the restaurant. Otherwise, it will be headache locating a carpark on the main road.

The restaurant is a typical old Chinese pre-war shop and it is better to dine in the evening as we heard about horror stories on the long queues during lunch time.

We should try out their bamboo noodle but we didn’t. Instead we ordered another specialty, Cantonese Fried Beef Kuey Teow for RM 7. There was nothing glorious about this dish in terms of presentation wise but it was sure tasty. The beef was still pinkish in colour means it was not overcooked and it was tender. It was well cooked with “wok hei” (good wok temperature) and the sauce was not too starchy. This was definitely one of the best Cantonese Fried Beef Kuey Teow in Kuala Lumpur.

As a Sang Har (Fresh Water Prawn) Mee (Noodle), it was only RM 28 for a plate with one large prawn. The prawn was massive, easily reached 20 cm in total length, for that price it was quite a steal. The noodle was deep fried and sunk with the usual sauce. On a glance, it thought the noodle was too dry but the sauce was actually at the bottom of the bowl. To be frank this was one of the better Sang Har Mee in town.

It was a simple dinner for two of us with two dishes. Both were equally satisfying and it was a right choice to try out this restaurant. We will come back again for their wonton noodle one day, it won’t be far.
