6. Lam Mee (Noodle)
Lam mee is another unique noodle you must try. Although it might have certain similarities with ‘loh mee’ but lam mee is more popular with locals.

Thick noodles are often used with thick starchy broth with sliced boiled egg, sliced steamed chicken, beansprouts, prawns and sprinkled with chopped spring onions and fried shallots. The most important part is the broth as it must be not too starchy and too salty.

Lam mee is available in Chinese food courts/outlets or speciality restaurant. The most popular lam mee restaurant in KL is May King in Pudu. It has been around for more than 40 years and remains the best place for lam mee.

Other version of lam mee includes using yee mee as the noodle.

There is no other place more popular than Ampang for yong tau fu. Yong tau fu means stuffed tau fu (beancurd) but there are also many other varieties.

The main ingredient of the stuffed meat is fish and most of the time it is mixed with pork and salted fish. On top of beancurd, there is foo chok (beancurd skin), taufu pok (mini square fried beancurd), brinjal (egg plant), lady’s finger, chili and many more.
