Restoran Fa Kee is a Chinese
restaurant and coffee shop located in Taman Kinrara, Puchong. Like most Chinese
restaurants of this fashion, there are numerous stalls that the restaurant
houses, all of which offer a wide variety of dishes to enjoy. That said, there
are only a handful that stand out, namely the Special Smooth Pan Mee stall, the
curry mee/laksa stall and the chicken rice stall.
Uncle Chan has been selling his
Special Smooth Pan Mee for almost a decade (since 2007). Uncle Chan has kept a
strict all hand-made policy when it comes to the noodles. As a result, you will
not find a rolling machine at his stall. The Pan Mee comes in broad strips in
random lengths, which is attributed to Uncle Chan’s skills in pulling out balls
of dough in a basin of water. The pulling and stretching is all done beneath
water where the dough would have softened, ultimately making long broad strips of
noodles that are slithery smooth whilst having a delightful bite to them.
The Pan Mee comes in both the
soupy and dry versions. The former is made with the help of simmering pork
bones and anchovies for hours and topping the bowl with minced and sliced pork,
thick slices of Chinese mushrooms, fried beancurd skin, crunchy anchovies and a
choice of either lettuce leaves or “sayur manis”; while the latter is tossed in
a concoction of black soya sauce and oyster sauce, and is made more aromatic
with some lardy oil in it before being topped with minced pork, accompanied by
a side bowl of pork broth.
So do head down to Restoran Fa
Kee to enjoy some of the best Pan Mee available in Puchong.
