Curry Mee @ Restoran Kin San, OUG

This is the allegedly best curry mee in KL. I have a friend whose niece insists on coming here to eat the curry mee each time she comes back from the UK. It's located in Restoran Kin San in OUG and it's the stall with Curry Mee prominently displayed on its signboard.

Here's the curry mee that I ordered. It comes with a thick curry broth and has minimal oil, which is a Good Thing. There are a lot of unusual things in the KL version of curry mee, which is quite different from the Sarawak curry mee. The list of ingredients includes gizzards (chicken stomach), long beans, clams (!), tofu, bean sprouts (taugeh) and of course, noodles.

This is the sauce that was served alongside the curry mee - it's half a lime in belacan. There's a certain technique to squeezing out the lime juice without getting the pits into the belacan paste...it involves using the spoon (that's the Chinese soup spoon) as a temporary receptacle and then reusing the (used) lime to stop the seeds from going in, while allowing the lime juice to flow freely.

The lime juice-belacan paste is then piled on top of the curry mee. It makes the curry mee really shine.

The use of clams in curry mee is really novel (to me anyway :p) and it makes the entire presentation taste better. It's good, but I've had better curry mee in KL.

This is one of the KL back posts - I'll start putting them up, there's quite a few of them since I just got back from KL.
