Restoran Ye Look — Restaurant in Kuala Lumpur

Popular chu char restaurant in the evenings, Ye Look is well known for its pan mee in the mornings. (RM6/bowl) I've never tried until this morning. Ordered a hand pinched soup version and a kneaded thick noodle "mala" version. Reminded the lady to separate my anchovies from the soup.

Food came & i thought they got my order wrong. Firstly, anchovies swimming in my broth. Secondly, the ""mala" version served here is in soup form. (I thought dry) Mala sauce is served separately where you mixed yourself. And they charge you RM1.50 for that miserable tablespoon of mala sauce which is not mala at all!! Only salty! Pan mee is thin and rather smooth. There's a few pieces of fried beancurd skin and fish cake. Soup is savory and tasty. No wonder, coz its MSG ladened!!! Freaking thirsty after! Seriously, I wonder how many swore by this pan mee which is nothing but very common! Once is enough and I'm still very thirsty after 4hrs! And the fact that they charge you RM1.50 for the sauce is super ridiculous!

Apart from pan mee, there's a Chinese nasi lemak, pork noodle and NOT CHEAP chicken rice. (You'll not eat after seeing how the chickens are hung to dry at...

A must-try if you wanna experience the typical Chinese eatery in Malaysia.

There's a small variety of individual food stalls in the morning offering Malaysian breakfast. The Pan Mee (flat noodle) is recommended.

It turns to be a more vibrant eatery in the evening where Chinese dishes are served with rice. Try their watermelon pork rib, rice wine chicken, clay pot curry fish head, nyonya assam steamed fish, homemade tofu (soybean curd), sweet potato leaves, etc. Speak with the tall and thin uncle who speaks English if you're not Chinese conversant.

They also serve noodles for supper after 9pm. Cantonese and Hokkien style fried noodles are recommended.

Just go for the food and not the ambience hence don't expect air-conditioned, clean and fragrant toilets, dining hall etc.

They close on Tuesday nights as there used to be night bazaar on the streets outside the eatery previously. The night bazaar has since been moved to the inner area...

An obscured pan mee shop run by a 60 something lady who is clean and meticulous in her preparation. She doesn't need to labor for survival but merely occupying herself to keep dementia at bay. She is studious and methodical in her work even when the orders are pouring in. The pan mee is either churned out from dough in long strands by a manual roller or painstakingly hand peeled into bite size. It comes with clear and smooth soup which I prefer or with black soy sauce. The pan mee is cooked just right neither too soft or hard. The ingredients are varied which include deep fried anchovies, spinach, fish ball, tofu pok with an extra beancurd ful pei for a good lunch which you will return for more like me which is one of my favorite lunch rendezvous of late. After a long absence, it has reopened now ran by the grandson under her watchful...
