Ulu Yam Basketball Court: Worth the Wait for Authentic Braised Noodles! If you're seeking a taste of truly authentic local cuisine and don't mind a leisurely dinner, the "Ulu Yam Basketball Court" restaurant is a must-visit, especially for its famous braised noodles. This spacious eatery offers a fantastic, no-frills setting to enjoy a quintessential Malaysian dish. The star of the show, the braised noodles, live up to their reputation. The noodles themselves are wonderfully thick and boast that fresh, handmade texture that sets them apart. The braised gravy is rich and flavorful, coating every strand beautifully. What's even better is that the food portions are generously huge, ensuring you leave completely satisfied without burning a hole in your wallet, as the prices are very reasonable. It's clear this spot is a local favorite; it gets incredibly packed during weekends, so if you prefer a quieter dining experience, I highly recommend visiting on a weekday. The only real "setback" to be aware of is the slow serving time. The chefs are meticulous in their cooking and preparation, which means you might have to wait at least half an hour for your food. However, for a taste of such genuine, delicious, and generously portioned braised noodles, the wait is truly worthwhile. Come for the delicious food and the spacious, relaxed atmosphere, and be prepared to enjoy a patiently crafted, authentic meal at Ulu Yam...

Food portion is pretty big though, we ordered 3 pax servings for both hokkien beehoon and log mee for a group of 10 and it's...
Read moreWhen the Hokkien mee were served, a strong alkaline smell emanated from the noodles. The first bite was overwhelmingly alkaline, then too sweet, followed by saltiness and oiliness. The noodles have no wok hei. The noodles were completely in a thick layer of oil, utterly unappetizing. A single portion of fried noodles cost RM11, with not a single shrimp, just a few vegetables and slices of pork. Kind of disappointed 😔
Also, although there were no-smoking signs posted inside the shop, but many customers were smoking, and the owner completely ignored it and didn't even...
