18. Pan Mee

Pan mee or flat noodle is another Malaysia born food. This Hakka style noodle is easily available in KL. Traditional pan mee comes in soup based broth with flour made flat noodle, dried anchovies, minced pork, mushrooms, sweet potato leaves and topped with fried shallots. It goes well with chili sauce.

Since the noodle is made from dough of flour, some locals prefer the dough kneaded to pieces. They looks like “Playdoh” like dough in white colour and boiled till its cooked and served with the ingredients.

Traditional pan mee goes down to the broth and the quality of the noodle for the best taste. Some loves it with lots of crunchy fried anchovies while some loves it with lots of minced pork.

Pan mee can be easily found in food courts/outlets and specialty restaurants such as Jojo Pan Mee restaurant, Face 2 Face and many more.
