Ah Mak's Must Try List - KL Hokkien Mee

Having been together for the last 5 years, I've learnt to appreciate a few dishes from Kays' hometown of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. We've since been on the hunt for some good local alternatives in Singapore.

Top of this list is KL Hokkien Mee. The best ones in KL usually come drenched in dark, mildly sweet soy sauce, immensely aromatic from all that garlic and the occasional crunch of fried pork lard (sinful and I didn't even like those porky cubes, but I got sucked in as well~!) Some places serve it with bits and slivers of fishcake/ seafood, but that's immaterial. Most importantly, it must have the "wok-hei" to bring out all the flavours.

So, it seems that we have not been able to come up with a substantial list yet, but we're working on it! Hopefully more people will set up shop here so that we don't have to wait till we go back to visit to get the real stuff. Here are some good ones in Singapore if you don't want to sit through a 4-hour drive:
 
Ah Mak's KL Hokkien Mee Must Try List:
1. Big Eater
34 Jalan Pari Burong
Picardy Gardens
Tel: +65 6245 7268
This is the closest to the real thing that we've found so far - noodles fat enough, sauce thick enough, and they are so generous with the pork lard, it's not funny! When you order, do ask for less lard (unless your arteries are as wide as the CTE tunnel), but the chef will usually decide whether to listen to you or not... Service is generally good, but just don't hope for personalisation! :P Other things to try include the salted egg yolk crab which is rich but I find it a tad sweet for my liking, crab bee hoon and their lime juice and sour plum drink.
They have several branches, newest one in Jurong West which is more convenient, but we have yet to try. 

2. Killiney Kopitiam (Purvis St branch)
30 Purvis Street
Tel: +65 6337 7656
They don't explicitly call it Hokkien Mee, but instead, it says "大条面" (fat noodles) on the menu.

3. Sin Hoi San
55 Tiong Bahru Road #01-59
Tel: +65 6223 0810
The noodles used are much thinner here, and the sauce seems a little on the sweet side, but overall still a good place to get your fix.

No photos on these yet - will add soon!
