Have been eating here for a few months. Food was good the first few visits. However, the restaurant underwent some distasteful changes recently:-
Unreasonable price adjustment that doesn’t make sense: Price of dry noodles suddenly has an additional charge of RM0.50 over the soup noodles. This doesn’t make sense, there’s no other restaurant charging additional for dry noodle, and realistically the soy sauces wouldn’t cost RM0.50? Also dry noodle came with 1 single strand of bean sprout, not sure if it’s a joke or? Drinks prices increased by RM1.00 per free flow cup but the selection was reduced with the removal of fruit tea.
Decrease in overall protein volume. The minced pork patty is at least visibly 25% smaller than what it used to be. Pork lard shrunk. Cabbage has been reduced from generous servings to mere 1 thin slice. I can understand the inflation in meat prices but cannot comprehend the cabbage. Might as well don’t serve the cabbage and it would be completely fine.
Really messy operational process flow and quality assurance. There’s always a long queue with 1-2 Cashier overloaded with work and order. Kitchen probably in havoc. Once our orders came without egg when our bill has added egg. Thankfully the local staff helped to replace then. This time, my gf noticed that my bowl of soup had no pork patty, we requested for a replacement, they served an oversized patty probably as compensation, but the middle is uncooked. We ended up getting another replacement by the kind staffs, good service but it wasn’t really a pleasant experience to repeatedly trying to get staff attention in a busy restaurant if you get what I mean. What about people who are rushing or not aware of the usual food portion? They would’ve been taken advantage...
Read moreEnjoyed this pork noodle a few times! We typically ordered one big dry one and big soup one! Since my husband doesn't eat pork organs, he asks just extra pork meats but on our last visit, we were told it's not possible. So it means even though the organs are not served, the lean pork isn't added up unlike last time. I saw disappointment on his face immediately since we actually love their deep porky flavoured soup at most. Anyway it's what it is. There are various add-on items available like bittergourd, tofu skin, fried fish cakes, cucumber, seaweeds etc. We tried the bitter gourd which is crunchy and just good. The noodle is springy and freshly made so delicious right away. Though we ordered a big size both dry and soup , we were really able to finish it all and become tummy full.👍🇲🇾😋🍜 One downside is their drink system, which cost you rm4.5 flat, for unlimited times from coffee to ice tea, water, basically all kinds of sugary drinks you can think of, that also means water is not free either or not even like rm 0.5 ~rm 1.0, which is availanle for ordering cold water(ice kosong) at most kopitiam. Since water isn't available separately at an reasoable price, it's quite hard to go often. But for sure when we have a craving for pork noodle , we...
Read moreOverall, OK, with average servings of steaming-hot pork noodles that satisfied, but didn't quite take our breath away.
Tried the entire spread of side dishes (totalled RM53++.), which were also, average. Munching on the sides sure took our minds away waiting for the pork noodles to arrive. Unlike what some reviewers here experienced, we waited about 10mins amongst an enthusiastic lunchtime crowd, before our bowls of pork noodles arrived.
Broth was on the sweeter side, with strong hints of light soya, rather than a clear porky umami broth that I prefer. Fried garlic was a little overpowering. Reminded me of a Japanese Ramen Miso Shoyu broth.
What's novel was the single big piece of minced pork pattie, as opposed to the more common spread of minced pork pieces often found swimming amongst slices of lean pork, intestines and pork balls.
Restaurant looks modern, and was relatively clean given the motley crew serving and cleaning after diners.
Hot and cold drinks were free-flow, at RM 3 per person. However, we didn't really need to refill our drinks.
Compared to Ten Noodles a few minutes walk away in the same Dataran Sunway area, we found the pork noodles offered by Ten Noodles much...
