It’s been a while since I had some Lam Mee (淋面), so when I went there to yum char with my buddy Kenneth last weekend, I ordered a plate of this wholesome noodle dish despite having just had lunch a little over an hour.

Lam Mee at Damansara Uptown
ahh… mouth watering

Living Food Restaurant has been in operation for quite a number of years, and is actually operated by the sister of the famous May King Lam Mee at Pudu. The interior of the restaurant, while resembles a kopitiam, is clean and air conditioned.

Ordering food is very simple too, just write down the number of items you want on the little ordering template provided, and hand it to the waiter. Prices are written on a giant board on the wall, so you can work with your budget. It’s simple and minimizes a lot of waiting time.

I ordered the Lam Mee with thin noodle and mee hun, while Kenneth had the more traditional version with the thicker noodle. The dish basically resembles Loh Mee (卤面) in Penang, like the famous outlet in Chai Leng Park, Penang. The biggest difference being the chili paste provided, Loh Mee usually comes with the Prawn Mee style chili paste and finely chopped garlic, while Lam Mee here comes with a thinner, but spicier chili paste.

The flavor of the dish was very good, with the sauce thick and best served warm. The ingredients include prawn, slices of pork, bean sprouts, fried shallots, some green onion as garnish, and of course, your choice of noodle. We also ordered some “fu chuk”, fish ball, and deep fried “sui kow” in an attempt to stuff ourselves.

The main dish costs from RM 4.50 to RM 5.30, and the side orders were RM0.80 a piece. Pretty reasonably priced, and a satisfying tea time indeed. Do note that this restaurant is not opened for dinner though, they only serve from morning till around 6pm.

This Lam Mee place is just a few shops away from Sate Kajang Haji Samuri, and just behind the economical Hokano Japanese restaurant

    Hokano is only economical for certain sushi nigiri.

    I had their June “special”.. a small piece of tuna, 3 grilled oysters and a prawn for RM32.90++….. so little! And the taste of the tuna is not bad, but so tiny. I think the waitress was embarrassed that I ordered this rip-off dish as well. I had to order another entire roll (RM15.80++) to fill myself up.

    Tried the branch in First Subang via Groupon vouchers (Discount).
    The Lam Mee was fine but the Nasi Lemak fried chicken drumstick was half cooked approx 50% done and blood inside.
    That spoiled our whole lunch and can’t finished it anymore….
    Very dissapointed with this happen even they did a good advertisement via Groupon.
    Shall not support them anymore…

    I’m so sad with MKP LUM MEE ( UPTOWN DAMANSARA ). I’m customer of this restaurant since I’m in secondary school, which mean I had eating their LUM MEE over 10years. During these years, they keep on rising their price very frequently BUT their ingredient getting lesser & lesser. Can u imagine u paying rm7 for a LUM MEE which written LARGE but is SMALL portion, additional rm1 for request only with prawn. BUT their prawn was only 3-4 slices of HALF small prawn which mean 1-2 prawn for normal LUM MEE, addional rm1 for adding 1-2 HALF small prawn which rm1 for prawn, rm8 for a LUM MEE which only come with 3-4 prawn & nothing else. It’s ok for me, I understand inflation is increasing, just that their restaurant increase faster only, then I asked with their bos for addional belacan=chili, BUT she shutting with me:”HELLO! Do u know what’s the cost of chili!?” (WHAT!?) then what’s the cost of SMALL portion LUM MEE with ONLY 3-4 SMALL prawn & NO ADDITIONAL CHILLI!? Normal LUM MEE u eat outside only rm4-5, WHY I pay rm8 for this kind of service!?
