Me and my friends are looking for a place for dinner after our movie rendezvous at 1Utama. I had initially wanted to visit Kokopelli Traveler's Bistro but I am afraid that they we won't have enough time to enjoy our dinner once we had arrived. So I had recommended another restaurant further down the road. Since all of us had craving for Hokkien Noodle, so we the place I had recommended is Restaurant Mei Yen. It's located at Jalan 20/7 if I am not mistaken. It's just further down Kokopelli if you know where it is located.
Hokkien Noodle (3 Pax)
Since the place is famous for their Hokkien Noodle and it's our objective that night, so we had decided on 3 pax for the portion. As you can see, it's really black and not that wet. It's something which I like. Plenty of meat and also some squids too in the noodle. It's really nice and we all agreed on the dish. Or maybe we're just too hungry at that time. Nevertheless, we had this finish up clean. And their belacan tasted really nice too as mentioned by my friend but it's not spicy at all.
Layered Pork with Vermicelli (2 Pax)
This is another of their famous dish over at the place. The smallest portion was for 2 pax. As you can see there were a lot of pork on top of the noodle. But if you look carefully the pork are 80% fat and 20% lean. So if you can't take fat pork then better stay away. But you can always eat the noodle which was really nice and the scent and taste of pork was so strong and nice. That is if you like pork as much as I do.
Kam Heong (Sweet & Spicy) La La (2 Pax)
Yet another must order dish of the restaurant. This is their Sweet & Spicy clams but it's rather sweet than spicy for us. Plenty of gravy for the clams and most of the clams are clean and there are meat in them. This is in some places, you can only find a few clams with meat in them and half of them are empty. The taste of garlic are so strong. As you can see, there are a lot of garlic in the gravy. We all agreed that it would taste better if it's more spicier.
Overall the food are good and price are reasonable. Well that is why the place had so many loyal customers all this while. My first visit to this place would be 8 years ago maybe and it's been awhile since my last visit. As I visited Ah Wa or Damansara Hokkien Noodle more often these days. Other recommended dishes would be their Loh Mee, Dried Mee Hoon with Fresh Egg and Pork Soup. The damage for the night is RM38. I think it's definitely reasonable and we are all full that night. Left and continued for second round after that at Old Town. Again, it's not the location of the restaurant but the quality of the food. Although we're eating next to the drain but that is what make it so Malaysia. (Rating: 3.8 out of 5.0)
