MODU TRX

KL Sentral·$$

Kalguksu Spicy Herbal Noodles

MYR35.00

Chewy hand-cut noodles in herbal broth with ginger, ginseng, and chili kick.

Tip: Good choice if someone in your party wants noodles instead of whole chicken soup. Fills you faster and costs less.

Qing Ji

Chinatown·$

Plain Rice Noodles with Broth

MYR6.00

Simple rice noodles in clear pork bone broth with a sprinkle of fried shallots and white pepper.

Tip: Order a bowl of this and the wonton soup separately — together they give you noodles and broth variety in one meal.

Sek Yuen

Pudu·$$

Wonton Noodle Soup

MYR18.00

Springy yellow noodles in a clear, umami-rich pork and shrimp broth, topped with plump wontons.

Tip: If queues are too long for a full meal, this is a quicker bowl to order at the counter area — still authentic and deeply representative of the restaurant's origins.

Kim Lian Kee

Chinatown·$

Claypot Loh Shu Fan

MYR15.00

Thin, delicate silver needle noodles stir-fried and served sizzling in a clay pot.

Tip: The claypot stays hot longer — eat carefully to avoid burns on the lips and palate.

Qing Ji

Chinatown·$

Prawn and Pork Rice Noodles with Vegetables

MYR13.00

Rice noodles topped with both prawns and pork slices, plus stir-fried leafy greens.

Tip: The greens are the key — they add a bitter note that makes the sweet broth more interesting. Don't skip them.

Yut Kee

Chow Kit·$

Hailam Mee

MYR11.00

Yellow noodles in a silky chicken and pork bone broth, topped with sliced chicken and fried shallots.

Tip: A complete meal on its own — light, warm, and satisfying. Perfect for breakfast or a quick lunch.

Lai Foong

Chinatown·$

Beef Noodles with Beef Balls

MYR8.00

Rice noodles in beef broth with bouncy homemade beef balls (meatballs) and clear broth.

Tip: If organ meats intimidate you, start with beef balls. Same broth quality, more approachable protein texture.

Mee Tarik

Chinatown·$

Lamb Mee Tarik

MYR15.00

Hand-pulled noodles with tender braised lamb and aromatic spices in the broth.

Tip: The lamb version is spicier due to the warming spices — ask for heat level if you're sensitive.

Chinatown·$

Lala Meehoon with Clam Only

MYR11.00

Vermicelli in a pure clam broth, topped with fresh clams, allowing the shellfish flavor to dominate.

Tip: Good solo-diner portion. You can share beef noodles with someone, but this clam version is yours alone — perfect sizing.

Lala (Clam) Meehoon with Clam and Prawn

MYR23.00
