Desperately looking for good food, we went all around to search for a decently good Hokkien Mee stalls. Instead, we had found this place! It's located at the side shop at the heart of Damansara Uptown. The hawker sign wrotes "New Johor Bahru Hokkien Mee". Judging by quite a number of customers at the tables, this naturally piqued our interest. EnvironmentThe environment of this place is so reminiscent of typical stall look... Based on our findings, the Hokkien Mee stall only opens during the eve
Environment
The environment of this place is so reminiscent of typical stall look... Based on our findings, the Hokkien Mee stall only opens during the evening time, while morning side the Dim Sum business takes over (e.g. we look at the Dim Sum menu posters all over)... During the evening, it seems lots of people gathered to crave the specialties: Hokkien Mee, Lam Mee, Kong Fu Chau, Yee Mee, etc...Service:
Being a hawker stall, service quality is naturally negligible. The waiter was some dude from myanmar/vietnam and was speaking in smaterring cantonese/chinese. I was having a bit difficult understanding his questions and him toward mine. But anyhow, it was not big of an issue.
Cleanlinesss:
It again being a hawker fare, that aspect is not being factored in. The chef do soak their vegetables in small bucket of water at the front of the counter. Noted also was the neatly peeled prawns in a transparent bucket. Thus, the overall clealines of the place is commendable. However, our tables are a bit dirty and sticky as the waiter didnt wipe the tables properly.
Here were the food that we had: -
Mun Yee Mee[/bb]It was really just so-so. Although since its char-grilled, the charcoal-ish flavour is inherent. Some people mite really enjoy it though. The fried pork lard was in okay portion. However the chicken meat is tough! grrr and I pur a special request for more vegetables however what serves on the plate was medicore pieces of veggie. Also the portion was small and its not that filling to the stomach.
Hokkien MeeThough lack of pork lard (Zhu Yao Zhar), I found the food seems rather okay-ish and surprise surprise, I called the larger portion and it costs RM10!!! We were stunned that this was the two-person portion... But from the looks of it, even a large-sized person can finished it up alone!!! Yuck! Not worth it!
Price:
As mentioned early, the price was EXPENSIVE!! RM7 for a small plate (that doesnt fill the stomach that well) and RM10 for an average plate (which could easily be get at almost half the price at other hawker fares).
For this such price, we rather go for the better hawker stalls that serve bigger Hokkien Mee / Mun Yee Mee at relatively cheap price!!! A big NO NO for this place! Avoid at all cost!
