But even as I love fried hokkien mee, I seldom eat it when I am eating around the Klang Valley. Part of the reason is the same as in my previous posting (read it here!). For some reason I cannot stand the noodle with "kan shui" taste...which put me off to eating hokkien mee altogether...
But one lazy weekday night, after some grocery shopping at Tesco Kepong Village Mall, we've decided to look around the area for a bite. It's getting on late and all and since we've yet to try all of the food stalls / restaurants scattered around bandar menjalara here, one of the place caught our attention.
The place itself is like an alley between 2 shop lots, albeit a very clean looking one. Day time this place is actually one of those hawker style restaurants with a lot of varieties and stalls offering different type of foods. By night fall (5.00pm onwards), it will be transformed to the alley beside the shop to one yummeh charcoal fried noodles heaven!
What caught my attention during that time is the big cloth banner - CHARCOAL FRIED HOKKIEN MEE!
It's kinda late and not much food choices around and that what made us to stop by and give it a try, without expecting much...hahahaha...
Furthermore when the first time we went there, this place is like so new, they've been operating from somewhere else thus the PJ Charcoal Fried Hokkien Mee name and recently made to move out from the previous place. I remembered it being all quiet and not much patrons (or maybe it's kinda late on a weekday).
The hokkien mee seriously full of wok hei and you can actually taste the difference between a normal gas stove fried hokkien mee with the charcoal stove fried one...The taste alone makes me swoon and I am hooked and will be back every now and then just for a taste of the scrumptious charcoal fried hokkien mee..!!

How to find this place? This is right opposite of Tesco Kepong Village Mall shop lots, to be more precise; I found one picture from their advertisement:
*a bit blurry but still can see right?* |
Go and try it for yourself if you are one of those fried hokkien mee lover. Surprisingly the "kan shui" taste is not strong in their noodles used.
Happie eating! ^^
