Little Penang Kafe (The Curve)

A traditional "birthday" dish, lam mee is the Malaysian equivalent to the Chinese longevity noodles "mee sua" [面线], believed to signify good health and long life.

Traditionally cooked in a gravy or prawns, pork ribs or chicken [Little Penang Kafe uses chicken stock], this dish is served with yellow rice noodles, garnished with chicken strips, prawn and egg, reminding us of the Malay mee soto. #GourmetAdventuresInKL

One of our favorite Malaysian dishes, this is the dish that makes our heart skip a beat [or many more, according to Fitbit]. While assam laksa is easily available in KL at any mamak, they aren't always as good – the broth may sometimes be diluted. This, however, is one of the better ones – fish gravy; thick and rich with a kick of spice, chewy rice noodles so good we ordered an extra serving, fish sauce, fresh vegetables, pineapple and mint. Delicious! #GourmetAdventuresInKL
