…………………….hokkien mee at Jalan Cheng Lock.

It had to end, eventually. The floggers’ final street call was at Lian Bee. This stall has succumbed to progress – it now has a retracting roof! In the old days, only a handful of tables stood in a dark alley lit by very scarce lighting; if you were lucky, you’d see little creatures flitting by, sharing the darkness with you, and you knew you were not alone.

Now, in the 21st century, the only thing that hasn’t changed is the hokkien mee. The dark, charred noodles with pieces of pork and crunchy lard is still very popular with KL folk. Our band of 8 ordered a plate of hokkien mee, hokkien mee hoon and a large bowl of pork meat soup. Despite looking quite plain with balls of meat and vegetables, the soup was rather tasty and I’d recommend it as a complement to your plate of hokkien mee.
