Chilli pan mee at a KL-style noodle spot ($7.80)!

Lunch run for KL-style chilli pan mee — the dry noodles with the signature crispy chilli flakes. $7.80. 😋

What was in the black bowl ($7.80):

• A nest of flat hand-pulled yellow pan mee noodles at the base.
• A generous mound of crispy ground sambal chilli flakes — that famous KL fragrance, fiery, fragrant, with bits of dried prawns ground in.
• A pile of savoury minced pork stir-fried with garlic and soya.
• A handful of crispy fried ikan bilis — that salty crunch top note.
• A soft poached / onsen egg with the yolk just about to break.
• A scatter of chopped scallions for the aromatic finish.
• A side bowl of clear soup with sweet potato leaves for the alternating sips.

Mixed everything together — the egg yolk + sambal + minced pork combo made the noodles silky, spicy and savoury in one swirl.

Total: $7.80. KL-style restaurant pricing.

Overall: 4.3 / 5. Crispy chilli flakes were the headline — fragrant and properly spicy. The runny yolk was perfectly timed. Will come back for the spice. 😍👍🏼
