Kolo mee stall at Puchong, tastes like home’s
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.
which kolo mee stall in kuching is your fav? how bout laksa stall?
theres another place you can try:
1. restoran 2020 Pandan Indah (opposite The Store) which sells Kuching Kolok Mee and Sarawak Laksa as well
2. Lucky Garden Bangsar – corner chinese shop selling Sarawak Laksa
3. MingTien Sunway: Sarawak Authentic Kolok Mee Fails, But there is another Stall sells Sarawak KanPua and Sarawak Laksa almost close to original
guy, one of your friend featured in flickr looks familiar, ex St. Joe Kuching rite?
ilovefood… thanks for the tips. i know that stall in sunway. ok ok lah ..
silverstar … no specific stalls in kuching preferred to be honest. janji kolo mee. but the ones in open air and siang-siang 3rd mile & bdc and restoran b2 in bdc are my regulars
which guy r u talking about in my flickr?
headsteadi,
siang-siang is not so popular anymore, just like Thompson Corner, ppl now prefer to go Expert Food, i heard the towkay interviewed the would-be food stall operators first before renting to them (he taste their food first whether good or not). but of course his taste is subjective so not all the stalls have nice food. try the one at RH Plaza (near flyover to airport), the laksa and mee sua is nice. another Expert food branch at Jln Song has a nice kueh chap stall. try them when you’re back.
i can’t remember which of the flickr pics but if i am not mistaken, he is a bro of my friend, Johnny (Kimo) also ex St. Joe.
anyway, want u to know i like reading ur blog, it keeps us in Kuching updated with whats going on in KL so we won’t miss out on things when going there. keep it up.
thanks silverstar … glad someone enjoyed reading the blog. i would try to update it as regular as possible and keep the topics interesting too … something hard to do with a 9-to-5 job
Hmmmm….any Foochow delicacies in sight?
Deejay .. have u tried Kampua Mee at Ming Tien Sunway? Not bad too …
U should go ahead and try this 2:
1. restoran 2020 Pandan Indah (opposite The Store) which sells Kuching Kolok Mee and Sarawak Laksa as well
2. Lucky Garden Bangsar – corner chinese shop selling Sarawak Laksa
You may find its worth the travel…
thanks ilovefood … will check it out …

just ate kolo mee yesterday. my bf bought from sarawak. wan to try this soon…
Me not frm S’wak but I alws got my house mate to ta-pau for me whenever he goes back for his family gatherings!
True, its hard to find authentic ones here in KL!
Even the Tmn Megah at PJ one is not really authentic and there’s a Rajah Brooke cafe in Kuchai Lama who invited us for a food review and proudly said they serve authentic S’wak cuisine yet their Kolo and laksa fails miserably!
I must go try this place out!

Now you can buy sarawak laksa paste online
.-= Laksa Sarawak´s last blog .. =-.
Hmmm.. I find the sarawak kolo mee at 1 cafe puchong, puchong Jaya not bad too.. May be your guy wana give a try?
[...] Been a while that I haven’t had Kolo Mee so since I’m passing by, why not have a treat. Ordered kolo mee merah besar! (RM4.50). The noodle taste great! Two thumbs up. This is the closest to Kuching kolo mee so far that I can find in KL. I guess this one can beat the stall in Puchong. [...]
wei..I am from Kenyalang, s’wak too…nice to to meet someone ‘sekampong’. I love kolok mee, My brother are selling kolok mee at batu kawa kem..but here it really difficult to find a halal kolok mee..find/recommend one place ….please :d
Hi Molly. If you’re looking for halal kolo mee you can go to Restoran Pucuk Ubi at TTDI Mall, Borneo Baruk Club KL ir Borneo Rainforest Sunway. The price is steep. There are no stalls in KL selling halal kolo me so far.
