Originating from Tuaran, Sabah Tuaran mee is traditionally handmade with egg, and the small town specialty is a rare find in KL. My first taste of the noodles was here in Subang Jaya, when I visited this spot on a Sunday morning to join a line of customers waiting for the same order. Think of Tuaran Mee (from RM5) as stir-fried wanton mee, sans sauce, and don’t let its looks fool you. The noodles are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with a delectable eggy flavour — so good with the accompanying chilli sauce. This is really a unique taste of springy fried noodles — so springy that they have sprung straight onto this list! (Haha!) That said, the service often leaves more to be desired, but don’t let that stop you from trying something new.
Avg Price: RM5
Tuaran Mee, a noodle traditionally handmade with egg and originated from Tuaran, a small town in the Northwest of Sabah. It is undeniably a local specialty and it’s also a rare find in Kuala Lumpur as it’s my first time ever trying it in Subang Jaya. I visited Restaurant Yong Sheng on a Sunday morning and was welcomed with a line of customers waiting for their orders as well!
It’s RM5 for a small bowl and RM6 for a big bowl. Think of it as your typical wanton mee fried without any sauce but don’t let its looks fool you, some parts of the Tuaran Mee are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, the burst of egg flavour is also tremendously strong. I especially love it when it’s complimented with the chili sauce provided, a unique taste of fried noodles that are springy, so much that they sprung straight into my list! (Ha ha ha)
With all that being said, do take note that customer service from this stall might not be the best as I had a rather distasteful encounter but don’t let that stop you from trying out something new!
