Super-Lazy-Post of Super Kitchen’s Chilly Pan Mee
January 17, 2011 | 9,660 views
The combination that works wonders; before the addition of the dry chili flakes/paste – A MUST when it comes to Chilly Pan Mee in KL.
And I am drained. Weekend just flew by before I could even catch my breath. And it doesn’t help that I was suffering from an extreme case of caffeine-withdrawal this morning. Wait, that took almost half my day away, and I was lying in bed with a throbbing headache and utter frustration that my Sunday’s half gone ……. But of course, the second half of the day was good. But let’s leave that story to another day.
If you’re feeling like tormenting yourself, or taking up the challenge to a new level, feel free to gulp down on the dry chili paste. Scoop all you want onto your bowl of pan mee (flat flour noodles), but take heed of this advice; remember to test the waters. You don’t wanna be screaming in agony come the next morning in the loo …..
And I have only tasted Kin Kin’s version of the famed chili pan mee back when they opened a branch in Pandan Indah sometime back in 2008. However, that was a pathetic experience as the noodles tasted bland and the chili paste was too salty instead of rightfully spicy. So when this opportunity to try Super Kitchen‘s version (in Puchong, no less), I had my initial qualms. But was the excursion proven to be worthy or was it a waste of time?
Even the soup version of pan mee came with a beautifully poached egg floated on top; combined with lots of minced pork, crunchy anchovies and green leafy goodness of ‘sayur manis’ (sweet leaves).
In all honesty, this one kicked Kin Kin’s a$$ to oblivion … and then some more. 🙂
Of course, there are the Cha Cha’s, Bou Bou’s or whatever brand(s) they came up with; jumping on the bandwagon of Kin Kin’s enormous success.
ADDICTIVELY delicious. Try 2-3 spoonfuls of the dry chili paste before going all out. Just in case your tastebud is not accustomed to the fiery sensation, and the spiciness killed your senses.
Good noodles with a bouncy texture; just toss them up real good and break the egg into pieces. The moisture from the poached egg will coat the strands of flour noodles (I chose the thinner version, but I forgot whether they had the flatter, chunkier ones), then the savoury flavours from the minced pork and crispy anchovies pulled through.
Of course, can’t neglect the pungent, robust kick from the chili paste. Every slurp-ful was a delight, almost a moreish sensation that kept me slurping up the noodles with glee, all the while beads of sweat forming on the forehead.
Okay, maybe not. For I went easy on myself that morning; being the first time meeting up a certain Witch and her dedicated significant other.
Chilly Pan Mee #101 – Don’t go over-confident in front of strangers or even friends. You don’t want to be all sweaty, teary and sneezy … this kills first impressions. 🙂
Just in case you’re having trouble the very next day, this roughage will assist.
And just so we can linger around longer, we had a small serving of Sui Gao (dumplings in soup) to be shared.
Bigger portions, delicious pan mee with a fantastic chili paste, and pleasant service. Zero attitude (maybe, just maybe ’cause I was with them, and the lady boss recognized Witch!) unlike the Jalan TAR’s Kin Kin (still remember how vkeong was breathing fire through nostrils for all the wrong reasons!).

[Reply]
I think they have a couple of outlets around KL… I always make it a point to go for a fix when I’m in KL 🙂
One thing i like about them – good customer service. I tried Kin Kin once. Never went back. I dont care how good it is, Super Kitchen’s is yummy as well, and I’ll sure as hell support an outlet that has good service.
Btw – they hv an outlet opposite Kin Kin @ off Jln TAR as well. And altho i only go when I’m in KL (which is not often), the lady boss seems to remember me anyway (maybe cos I tell her i come all the way fr Pg to eat her pan mee!) hahaha….
I did suggest that she open an outlet in Pg – sure got business wan!! she laughed -_-

Yeah …. somehow, I felt that service was good. Unpretentious and attentive. No attitudes loh, but this one in Puchong not that crowded anyway.
[Reply]

(Will head over to their PJ branch to check it out)

I can sense fire in the hole with 3 spoons of the flakes ….
[Reply]
I should have made you put on more! At least until I could see beads of sweats forming on your head.. after all, first impressions are the ones that make a lasting memory and THAT would be a sight to remember! 😛 As high tolerance that I have towards chilli, I don’t know why I still had to go toilet after this noodles 😛 But surely addictive!

Hahaha … I thankfully did not patronize the loo as much the very next day. But that was a good start. Now I’m seeking for good chilly pan mee all over KL …
[Reply]
Puchong ah? The one in Kota Damansara and Chow Yang doesnt seem good to me, hence never bother to go back.

Yes ah? Even compared to Kin Kin? Hmm … but the combination at Super Kitchen was good woh. I felt they cooked up a balanced pan mee, so you can perk things up with the chili paste. Unlike Kin Kin which was horrendously salty, and so small in portion.
[Reply]
taking the bad services part aside, I still like Kin Kin’s better. the noodles have a little more bounce and the chili paste tastes better, with the addition of lards(!) haha.

Hi Edmond.
Actually, I just had chili pan mee for lunch yday at the Chow Yang’s branch ….
Not good though, maybe QC not there during busy hours. The noodles were lumpy and the chili too hot, almost scorching.
