Alrighty, time for some simple yet delicious food!
Ten years ago before setting foot in KL, I had no idea what "pan mee" was. I would ask, issit something that looks like plank? (coz "Pan" carries the meaning of "plank" in Chinese). Then, I discovered that it was actually a kind of noodle which we'd call "Mian Fen Gao" ("flour cake") in Johor. Ahh, one of my favourite dishes! =)
Pan Mee (which actually means Flat Flour Noodle) is made of flour and looks flat (haha, ok, so I actually explained it according to the name). So recently, the bear brought me to this shop called Restoran Sun Huat Kee at Lucky Garden, Bangsar (next to Domino's). He said they sell really delicious pan mee, especially their dry curry pan mee. When we reached there, man, I tell ya, the place was packed and there was no parking at all! We had to double park our car and grab a seat right in front of the shop to make sure we were able to keep a look-out for angry faces who would start honking obscene melodies when their cars are blocked.

Ok, here's the thing, if you want to order their pan mee, you'll have to walk up the stairs located beside the shop to place your order. That's the only place where they prepare pan mee, while other food will be prepared downstairs.
The sign hanging in the middle says "Pan Mee" with an arrow pointing up,
indicating that the pan mee must be ordered upstairs
You can either have your pan mee sliced into strips of long flat noodles, or request to have your pan mee peeled into pieces. After waiting for some time (geez, they do take quite a long time to prepare the food, given that pan mee is actually a very simple dish to prepare). Anyway, it was worth the waiting, because when the food arrived, I almost drowned in my saliva!
My oh my, come to me babeh!
The curry is not too thick, not too spicy, and I love the fragranted smell. The noodles are just nice, very springy and not too tough. They even serve it with huge chunks of tender chicken and wedges (yes, they actually make the potatoes taste like wedges! Except that the wedges are soaked in rich, creamy curry!)
One big bowl + one small bowl + drinks are priced at only RM10++. The pan mee (or should I say the curry) is like an addiction. Once you taste it, you can't stop. You'll find yourself craving more and totally hooked to it without mercy. This was what exactly happened to me. I actually dreamt about it week after week, bugging the bear to bring me there again and again whenever I could. (I guess the bear must be regretting it now haha!)
Anyway, do drop by for a bowl of pan mee if you can, and oh, please save some for me too! ;)
