Noodle Memories

Helmed by two young affable hawkers from Kuala Lumpur, the humble noodle stall serves up handmade noodles that use a family recipe that harks back 30 years. At just $5.50, each signature bowl comes with bouncy noodles, heaps of savoury minced meat, textures of crunchy black fungus, some spinach greens, fried beancurd sheet with fish paste, onsen egg, and of course, a dollop of that signature chilli. But don’t expect a typical wet-style chilli paste. The homemade chilli here leans toward a drier version as it adds dried shrimp into the mix, giving plenty of umami and depth in contrast to the fiery spice. For extra oomph, order a peppery slab of fried chicken cutlet to go along with the bowl.
