Off-menu and off the charts, this brought me back to KL with its intoxicatingly smoky fragrance and aggressively rich flavour very reminiscent of Malaysian-style Hokkien Mee. The thick, sinuous noodles were stained glossy in a sweet and salty dark soya sauce and were delicious on their own. Add a liberal handful of freshly fried crisp and crunchy pork lard cubes though, and this stuff becomes thoroughly addictive. The bouncy, chewy abalone complemented the noodles in terms of texture well enough, but wasn't particularly necessary when the core elements were already strong enough on their own.
