Shilin Mian Guan – A Decent Spot for noodle Cravings

When it comes to Taiwanese food, one word usually comes to mind — bland. But I was drawn in by one item on the menu: Hakka jar nyuk wantan noodle. Couldn’t resist. Jar nyuk is my kryptonite — the moment I saw it, I knew I had to order.

For RM11, the portion was fair. The jar nyuk (braised pork belly) was surprisingly good — flavourful, tender, and well-balanced between lean and fat. Not overly salty like some places. But the noodles were a letdown. Overcooked and too soft for my liking. If you’re particular about noodle texture, best to ask them to undercook it slightly. See the photo? Portion is good, can’t see noodles 😂

Ordered a cold tea to go with the meal — glutinous scented pu er tea, not your average tea, this has a sweet note to it. Served chilled in a metal jug with no ice. Me likey.

The place is non-air-conditioned, but ventilation was decent. I didn’t break a sweat. Cleanliness was good, and the shop is manned by foreigners (Burmese) who easily pass off as locals — they spoke fluent Malays and were polite. Service was okay, serving time could be faster. Had to wait 10+ mins for my food to be served and I was the only customer.

Parking? Depends on your luck, as with most places in this area.

I’ll likely return to try other dishes — just with a reminder to go easy on the...

Tried chasiew wanton noodles. Taste is good and noodles not to soggy as it doesn't soak in sauce, which is good as I do not like my dry noodles to soak in plenty of sauce (which many other wanton noodles stall do). Price is reasonable and food portion is decent. Most importantly it is not crowded. Will try the lazha...

I wouldnt say its good nor bad but the bad is when we were there only 1 foreign worker was handling the order and the cooking too which spoiled the sauce of the wan tan mee ....really out of taste only the good is the char siew that very well...
