Where can you find nice kolo mee in KL/PJ area? I discovered one stall that sells real kolo mee at Puchong. Too bad I didn’t bring my SLR hence I’ve to settle down with the average quality of my camera phone.
Operating hours:
I chatted with the stall owner (didn’t ask his name yet, wait till I regular his stall), a Kuchingite who hails from Kenyalang. He opens 7.30am until about 3pm daily. Then, he goes home to get some sleep and continues again from 6pm till late. While I was dining, I watched this man preparing orders that keep coming. Business is good for him.
Location:
The stall is located at Bintang Food Court, Jalan TK1/11E, 47100 Puchong.
Direction:
From IOI Mall, head straight towards Old Klang Road. Go straight on. You will climb a hill. As you go down, you’ll see BHP gas station on your right. Slow down after fourth traffic light. From this traffic light, if you turn right, you’re heading to Bandar Kinrara and the army camp.
We don’t want to go this direction. Instead, look at your left, along the row of shophouses for Bintang signboard (back entrance)
At the end of this shoplot, make a left turn. Then, take the first junction on your left. That is Jln TK1/11C. Drive up towards the end, you will see Bintang Supermarket (entrance) on your left. Bintang Food Court is opposite the supermarket on Jln TK1/11E.
Unlike the many self-claimed kolo mee stall around PJ/KL area, I rated this stall as the only one that sells original kolo mee (the stall’s name tells it all). Those so called kolo mee stalls that you find at Medan Selera Everyday@Puchong Jaya, Ming Tien@Sunway and Ming Tien@Kelana Jaya by the name of “Sarawak Hand Made Noodle” are all “fake”. These stall serves have tweaked their recipe to suit West Malaysian’s taste. This only man dares to be different.
The price is a bit more expensive compared to Kuching but hey, this is KL. I also understand that on Sunday morning, fellow Sarawakians flock this stall with friends and families after Sunday mass. The stall sells out fast on Sunday so better be early.
Kolo mee biasa (regular) or kole mee merah (red) …. it’s your choice.
Food rating:
Satisfyingly taste like home’s. The texture of the noodle, its saltiness and sweetness matches original Kuching kolo mee. My other half, says its a bit oily, but I find it normal. Just like Kuching’s!
Not forgetting the pickled chilli. This is the “expensive” part. Red chilli serves in vinegar. It adds an extra hot and sour taste to the kolo mee.
