My wife told she once went to a pan mee stall in SS18 Subang Jaya and has to wait for over one hour for the food to come. Another unusual feature was that this stall only sells “mit” pan mee only, while “yau pan mee” or “chou pan mee” are not sold here.
So here we were one Sunday morning hoping to experience and taste the long waiting pan mee but found it closed.
We made it there again one Saturday morning at 9.30 am. My wife hurried first to the stall before we could find a table and she was given a queue number of 72 and was told to expect a waiting time of 30 minutes.
To kill time and control our impatience we first ordered a fried koay tiou from another stall for sharing.
The ordered pan mees came at 20 minutes later.
I supposed this waiting is not too bad but it might be longer on weekdays.
The taste? I noticed only a small quantity of minced pork compare with other pan mee outlets was added. There was a lone small meat ball which I ate last reluctantly but found it surprisingly tasty and “smell nice”.
Also different was the only 2 or 3 fried ikan bilis used unlike others.
The texture of “mit pan mee” tasted ok and no problem to finish all. The soup appeared a bit brownish, a bit salty and sweet. Quite ok.
To conclude, I thought it is ok for a revisit if patience is the essence of your outing.
