We actually had fun scouring the new neighbourhood every weekends.Our usual hang out place would be Damansara Uptown, and the same row particularly, Kajang Sate Haji Samuri, Damansara Hokkien Mee, Hing Loong Taiwanese Noodles, etc are just a stone throw away from our new place. I’ll start Restoran Lam Mee first, according to KY Speaks, its actually the sister outlet of May King Lam Mee at Pudu.
The menu and pricing clearly shown that theres only 5 items on the menu, so food is served lightning fast, 2 minutes after they placed your order. Talk about economies of scales and efficiency. You get to choose from a wide variety of noodles such as the thick noodles, thin noodles, kuey teow, mee hoon and mee for your own curry mee. lam mee or hor fun soup.
The chilli dipping and belacan is really good, in fact it is a saving grace for their bland curry mee.
I had the Lam Mee with thick noodles, the traditional way, the thick gravy having a few slices of prawns and meats floating upon. It is quite good actually, but it lacks of some ‘wow’ factor that keep patrons from coming back.
The curry noodle that comes with taufu pok, cockles, chunks of chicken meat, and long bean is a total rip off. The curry taste is not intense and it is santan landen. Usually we will not throw caution to wind about calories and cholesterol when you eat good curry mee but this bowl of curry mee is just so jelak.
I had May King’s Lam Mee (da one in Pudu) last week. It seemed to lack the oomph factor which it once had. Sad, isn’t it?
we have been to their similar Jln Yew ( Pudu) outlet sometime back and also this one ( also long time ago ).
Infact one lady bsg mum was even selling this item for a while.
We tend to think ths mild mannered colorless odourless LM noodle dish is a kind of lor mee’s distant underpowered keep-fit smell like inside a monastry kind of cousin hahaha!
this is damn shiok la..but the pudu 1 getting very salty..haven had it for eons now..saliva coming out d..
This restaurant has been around for a long time although in recent years, it was renovated to give it a more modern look. Previously was just a normal kopitiam. Heard that food quality took a dip too…*sigh*
Those were the days, my friends….
The last time I had May King’s Lam Mee would be a few months ago at the Citrus Park outlet in Old Klang Road. Thier menu over there is more extensive probably because it is manage by the original May King’s daughter and Australian hubby. The Lam Mee there is obviously not as good as the Pudu one…Original is still the best. Haha
Gotta admit that it’s not easy to find really gud food in uptown area. I often end up having overpriced food wiv so-so quality. Time to go food hunt beyond that area 😛
Not a fan of Lam Mee but I’ve tried the May King’s one too. Ok la .. not too bad, wished I tried the one in Pudu too.
I’ve tried May King @ Pudu a few times but the last time I visited, the curry mee doesn’t taste as good as it used to be..the Lam mee (still Ok)but like u said no “wowness” in it 🙂
i’ve always pass by this place but somehow, never tempted to try…
ahhh “lam mee”! it has been so long ago i last had a good one! looks yummy… 😀
lemongrass: yeah it used to be so good..business is brisk and hence they don’t even have to worry about their quality anymore
team bsg: haha its hard to find really good lam mee or loh mee nowadays..haha i concur that its mild..it tastes ntg but salty
joe: but the place jatuh standard dy..same goes as the sister outlet..look for a better place to go
my coffee: but their business is really..they charged us 5% governmetn tax..their annual profit must be > rm 300 K
wmw: hahaha..sigh***
cowiemee: the uptown outlet has curry mee, hor fun, fried dumplings and fish balls too..but everything is just mediocre..
xiu long bao: yeah..but i love boutiques hopping over there..cat’s whiskers and little black book..try the taiwanese noodles, its quite good
timothy: haha it makes no difference..sad isnt it
christine: where can we get really good lam mee? i had a reli nice one around Kulim Kedah few months back
sc: u made a smart choice..haha not worth stepping in
meiyen: hahaha looks good but taste ok lar..:p
hahah lam mee is lor mee? @_@
looks like one tho…thick thick soup that has 5 spice powder?
Ohhh..!! i missed the cockles in curry noodles..!! nope.. no cockles here.. 🙁 would shocked the ang mohs to see me eat cockles.. hahaha!
jian: its different..lam mee is the milder version fo lo mee actually
mama bok: hahaha..yeah..ang moh most feared ceature in their food – bloody cockles..but it is so good, esp in CKT and curry mee
oh? lolz lam mee in penang is prawn soup wan >.< pening ady
tried lam mee at KK Kopitiam, alam damai? quite nice also..the sambal not too strong with belacan taste, juz the way i like it.. it really add the kick to the lam mee..
recently i’ve also found a shop in ambang botanic klang also selling lam mee….& u know wat…taste good. plus homemade fishball…yummy
