Malaysia Delights

This bowl of goodness had me scrapping so hard to get those burnt pieces off that I almost broke the pot! 😂

📄 Claypot Chicken Rice ($5)

Before I start testifying my love for this divine noodle dish, let me first clarify I have no wish to start a food fight or whatever. Singapore, Penang or KL - I love them all!

For you see, depending on which part of the peninsula you’re at, Hokkien mee can mean a very different dish to different people.

While the Penang and Singapore versions use egg noodles or rice vermicelli, the KL Hokkien mee I love uses thick, fat yellow noodles known — no surprise here — as Hokkien noodles.

The northern and southern varieties are untouched by even a single lick of dark soy sauce; the KL version is properly drowning in the stuff.

Needless to say, this KL Hokkien mee was full of smoky goodness, the glossy sauce-coated noodles are chewy and downright delicious to the last slurp! A generous topping of heart-stopping crunchy lard bits are mixed into this orgy of decadence, making it the perfect dish of sheer indulgence!

Nothing like what I had expected. Forget about the smokiness flavour or charred, crispy rice. Think of it as the usual porridge cooked with Japanese pearl grains, cuttlefish, diced yam in a thick consistency topped with fried shallots, spring onion and fried pork lard.
