Restoran Hock Thai

A must-try Sarawak Laksa if you're in Kuala Lumpur / Petaling Jaya. One of the best ones I've tasted. Almost on par with the ones you can find in Kuching, Sarawak.

A coffeeshop that houses several stalls, this hidden gem on Jalan SS2/103 is just the spot for a filling hawker-style breakfast. From the Sarawakian stall, get the scrumptious Sarawak Kolo Mee (RM6) that pairs minced pork and lean char siew with noodles. Alternatively, indulge in the Tomato Mee (RM7) — crispy noodles in tangy tomato gravy — a rare sight in KL! East Malaysian favourites aside, head to the Pan Mee (RM5.50) stall for the simple satisfaction of clear broth and slippery smooth pinched pan mee. Come in small groups for breakfast worth waking up for.
Avg Price: RM10

Restauran Hock Thai is located in SS2, one row with Standing Theory. It’s some kind of open food court of hawker stall, and stall that caught my mouth is Aubrey’s Noodle.They serve Sarawak Kolo Mee and Tomato Mee. Never heard of Tomato Mee before, so I give it a try. For 7 RM, I got a bowl of some-kind of thin noodle that fried, (noodle that usually you have in Shabu-Shabu) rest in tomato soup, with prawn, fish cake and tofu on top of it. Taste interesting. The tomato sauce taste quite sour for me, and the Mee is crispy until you mixed together with the soup and it will become soft but elastic and chewy. I like that it reminds me of Yee Fu Mee back in Indonesia, the different just is the tomato soup. Satisfied and will be back for more!

If you’ve ever been to Sarawak (specifically Kuching, like myself), then you’ve probably tried Kolo mee; If you haven't, then you’re probably keen to have a bowl.

Situated inside Restoran Hock Thai, a hawker stall in SS2 that serves a variety of cuisine, lies in it a gem for authentic outland Sarawakian noodles. From the texture and colour of the noodles, to the rightful addition of onion shallots, red char siew and minced pork (I opted for extra vegetables - RM1), there is an art form to these noodles that few outside the eastern Malaysian city have managed to conquer and Aubrey’s Kolo Mee Stall is one of those fews. For a small fee of RM6, you are now able to have a tasteful trip to the east and it is definitely worth a try (plus you’ll save a load on plane tickets!).

This time at a new discovery recommended by my dad! Restoran Hock Thai is located on the same road as Standing Theory Cafe. Just a few shops away!
I haven't really had a 'mit' / peeled styled dry pan mee. Besides that, some dry pan mee that I try are bland or just tastes like dark soy sauce. Which sucks a lot! This stall is delicious though. Tasty, flavorful and the rice noodle wasn't too slimy nor sticky. Usually they stick in this style and makes the noodle soggy. The rice noodle was kneaded nicely and chewy. I also love the real flavour of pan mee that comes with it. Not just the flavour of dark soy sauce.
But the portion is very small. It does keep you full for one or two hours. That's it. Rice noodles are filling but for a certain time only depending on your metabolism and appetite. My dad was hungry after an hour eating this little bowl. 😅 This Chinese restaurant serves other food as well like dai chow (Chinese dishes aka big fry), chicken rice and many other stalls. They are always packed during lunch hour as all the workers comes here for lunch. Closed on Mondays!
New place to grub for me! 😋 I know some people will have much better recommendations but this place is a new discovery for me as I don't travel to PJ a lot and I really like this pan mee! ☺️ Food: 8/10 Price: 8/10 (RM 5.50 for one bowl - really cheap considering its a stall in PJ!)

Aubrey's Kolo Mee is the best I've tasted outside Sarawak.
