Tong Shin Hokkien Mee

Kuala Lumpur


This unassuming stall, down an alley, has been serving up its satisfyingly thick, slippery noodles for more than 20 years. The Hokkien mee here is prepared in the traditional style with pork lard, soy sauce, lardons and prawns, cooked over a charcoal flame to add a smoky flavour. It's popular, but it's worth waiting in line to sample these noodles.
