The Har Mee/Hokkien Mee/Mee Yoke is by far the best and most authentic I've tasted so far. My parents were one of the pioneer Malaysian restaurants in Melbourne Australia back in 1999. They served amazing Malaysian hawker food and Har Mee was always my favourite. My father made Har Mee the authentic way with boiled prawn heads and blended the prawn heads to get the thick prawn flavour in the soup. This requires a lot of work which is why a lot of places now just use artificial flavouring but you can definitely tell that it's not nice and not authentic. Ah Hui Prawn Mee appeared on my radar through Facebook and having a look at the Google reviews I saw that they didn't have many so it looked like it was a new shop, I did find out that they had only been open for 6 months. I kept my expectations moderate as I have been disappointed many times when people tell me it's the best Har Mee in town. I arrived at the store but the parking was very difficult, I had to park further away and walk to the shop. The initial impression of the restaurant was very welcoming. As a person that sweats a lot I was very happy to see that they had aircon in the shop, especially eating a hot bowl of Har Mee. I ordered 1 Har Mee, 1 Kuey Teow Noodle and fishballs, along with Kopi. I'll start off with the Kopi, there is definitely room for improvement I've had better Kopi at other Kopitams and it was missing the falvoursome taste of Malaysian Kopi, so it was quite average. The Har Mee arrived and it looked great and to my surprise it was GREAT. The flavour was spot on and I found out that they do make it the traditional way with the prawn heads. The ratio of noodles, kangkong, egg etc was perfect. The broth was not as spicy as I liked so I tried some of the chilli sauce. A lot of places get the chilli sauce wrong and add it just ruins the meal, so I tried the chilli sauce separately first and again it was good. It paired very well with the Har Mee. Now I don't need to go to Seremban to get "decent" Har Mee when I can have good Har Mee around KL. I won't comment on the Kuey Teow because that was for the kids whereas I went there specifically for the Har Mee and was pleasantly surprised with the quality and taste. Since they are fairly new the speed of preparing the take away was a little slow but I suppose that will get better over time. I just hope that they do not lose focus of the consistency and quality of what they have as they get busier. I hope the taste remains the same because this will be my go to place for my Har Mee fix from now on. I took away the Lor Mee as this is the type of Lor Mee I like as well, the one with the dark sauce. I haven't had it yet but will try it later. It looks good and should be good. If it is really bad I will edit my review and provide my opinion about it. Keep it up Ah Hui!
EDIT: I just had the Lor Mee and even though I said I would only edit my review if it was bad, I have to edit it because it was so good. It's exactly as I like it. I don't have a nice photo of it because I had it for take away but, wow I have to say the best Lor Mee I've had so far. Now I have a problem, when I go there do I order the Har Mee or...
Read moreOur usual go-to here is their Golden Pear Peach Gum tong sui. Super comforting, whether you have it hot or cold—both hit differently depending on the mood or weather.
Also love their Bubur Cha Cha. More 水than 料, which I actually prefer. It has a good balance of sweet potato and yam, all blended with the coconut milk. The consistency isn’t too thick—just the right amount, which makes it very enjoyable and super fragrant. This is honestly one of the better Bubur Cha Chas I’ve had, as it’s difficult to get it right.
Tried their 盐酥鸡 (salt & pepper chicken)—great seasoning, can taste the herbs and spices, but a bit on the dry side. Still satisfying as a savory add-on.
The Coconut Shaved Ice came in a big portion—definitely a 2-pax dessert. Hard to finish solo. Loved the taro balls, great chewy texture (not mushy), and the red bean was solid too. Only downside is the shaved ice itself was slightly on the sweeter side, so depends if that’s your thing.
Overall, a reliable spot for sweet cravings and warm comforting desserts.
Update: Tau fu fah with taro balls super delicious, will be another...
Read more"Stressed" spelt backwards is "Desserts",not sure if you have heard of this. So Tangfei is a desserts and small snacks shop, serving typical Chinese desserts like mango ximilu, aiyubing, peanut wu, etc. Parking is hard during working hours, but come evening or weekends you can easily find parking. This is a place for blow water with friends and chill, try their signature tangfei box which serve variety of desserts, even 2 person can finish it if you came with empty stomach. They 9 types of desserts in the box varies from time to time, ask them what is included. I suggest this box because if you opt for the single bowl dessert, it's big bowl and if the taste is not to your liking, you will probably hate it or never come back again, due to different people's taste bud, so you may find the dessert either a hit or miss. Some were not too sweet suitable for me, some were too sweet, but other may find it tasteless. Come try it for yourself. Services overall is ok, for improvement staff can be a bit more attentive, friendly...
