Pan Mee and a great eat

Just behind McDonalds on Jalan Bukit Bintang, on the same road as Fortuna hotel, there is a great eating place for pan mee and wan tan mee. The name of the place is Pan Mee. It is a small local noodle shop about 25 metres from the Fortuna.

Whats good about it is that the noodles are all home made, the chili is to die for and the meatballs are one of a kind. Foodies will love the drinks as well. These are herbal teas and soy bean based drinks. Local varieties in other words.

Homemade noodles are actually made from eggs and flour and do not have yellow dyes. The difference is also in the way the noodles soak up the sauce.

The meatballs taste of real meat, pork or beef, and not an assimilation of gluten and cereals. Mixed into the meatballs are a variety of herbs and chiles.

Order the 'khon low' or dry style wan tan mee, mix in the dry and wet chilies with a cut lime and you will be in heaven. Another wonder of ancient Malaysia!

Try to eat there before or after 12pm as this is a favourite eating place for local workers and it can get fairly crowded.
