We have been wanting to try out this place for a while now, but due to the lack of clear direction as to whereabout of this restaurant, we have been putting it off until the sense of adventure creeped up again on one fine afternoon. Kin Kin Chili Pan Mee (建記辣椒板麵) at Jalan Dewan Sultan Sulaiman was worth every bit the trouble it took us to locate the restaurant.
old school place with freshly made noodle
I am usually not a big fan of Pan Mee, having only had this hawker offering not more than half a dozen times in my life. The Pan Mee from Kin Kin, however, is different from usual. The noodle is dry and the soup comes seperatedly, as opposed to the usual noodle soup set up. The noodle too, is the thin type. Other than the familiar anchovies, a boiled egg with half cooked yolk tops up the offering.. *drools*
comes with freshly boiled egg with runny yolk, yum!
The claim of fame for Kin Kin Pan Mee though, is the chili paste. You are free to add as much as you can endure with the noodle. The chili paste has been fried before and has a distinct slight burnt taste to it, which mixes pretty well with the noodle. However, you should not be over confident on your chili tolerant and put too much at once lest end up having your lips look like Macy Gray’s.
look at horng’s burning lips!
Overall the pan mee was very delicious, the egg gives it an overall smooth and pleasant texture, too. You will find yourself trying to lick the bowl. At less than RM5 per bowl, I’d say the price is quite fair too. Give it a try if you are in town!

call me, i just work at heritage house.
by the way, not sure if u know…there is a shop opposite Kin Kei selling Chili Pan Mee also. I would rate it GOOD, got air cond also.
Eat in for both shops, never da bao (take away).
KY, there is another shop called Yuk Kee. Nice kopi, nice kaya roll and roti babi.
KY: heard that shop isn’t as great, plus, you are supposed to sweat with the chili pan mee right?

so u finally tried Kin Kin… well the noodles are good… but quite pricey. wish they came in MahMeen (double portion) size. the portions are too small lah.
meekiee, that shop is called Yut Kee… in Dang Wangi. Roti babi, fried taufu and pork chop should be tried.

i think the noodle are a bit on the expensive side…..
each bowl under RM5…..and the quantity in it…..after 1 bowl…feel like you want/need another….especially for me if i have to drive that distance and into the mad traffic there.
but have to agree its good..

Ya. I’ve been there a few years ago. Used to take my car to service in a workshop there until it shifted to Batu Caves. The taste is good but the portion is small when you are paying RM 5 per bowl. Maybe the chili is very expensive to make. But I don’t think many people mind about the price, still fully crowded during lunch time.
