PJ Old Town Pork Noodles (Jalan 1/21)

Running the business out of their own home, the family behind Jalan 1/21's secluded pork noodle shopfront relies mostly on regulars to fill seats. If you're in the area, hit up the homely spot for a soupy fix. Their mainstay of Pork Noodles (from RM6) sees a straightforward bowl of clear soup noodles topped with a wobbly egg and minced pork. The more impressive lineup lies in their add-on options. The array includes soup dumplings, homemade fish paste, pork innards and, if it hasn't sold out yet, yong tau foo. For 80 cents a piece, the dumplings never fail to satisfy. Made of prawn and pork mince, these are soft and tender with an occasional crunch of turnip and carrots. Pro tip: Head towards the back of 99 Speedmart and look out for house number 27 to find this nameless nook.
Avg price per person: RM10

Located deep inside Jalan Pasar, after spending some time to research on the exact location (tip: use Google map instead of Waze, it's the house right next beside 99 Speedmart), we finally managed to find this pork noodle spot. Location wise is kinda tricky because this shop do not have any banner, it's run by a family that serves pork noodle for their customer with the convenience of their own house space (tip: the house number is 27).

Ordered soupy pork noodle, the broth is the bomb for cold rainy days.. satisfying and comforting at the same time. My favourite part is slurping the runny egg yolk with their broth. You can also choose whether or not to add taufupok and dumpling to your bowl of pork noodle. The dumpling is handmade, stuffed with cilantro, radish and more fish meat inside, do have a try ;)
