Hand Pulled Pan Mee @ Restoran Foo Tian, Taman Bahagia PJ


Currently, this is where I get a quick pan mee craving fixed. It's unlike the usual pan mee whereby machine is used to flatten and shred the dough into strips. Here, the dough is shaped into small marbles (just like "tong yuen") and stored in a container. Upon order, the cook will pull each marble shaped dough into a longer strip before dunking into hot boiling water. End result, very smooth and slippery pieces of pan mee.

Soup is clear, not too oily and tastes almost similar as the broth I make at home using anchovies. Other common ingredients such as mushrooms, pork, vege are added too and I always ask for more vege!

Be prepared to wait for your bowl of pan mee especially during peak hours since the cook pulls the marble dough into strips one by one. Luckily she doesn't do it all, including cooking by herself as a new helper was seen the last time I dropped by.

This coffeeshop is located behind a Perodua showroom
