Out of all the various food items on my KL bucket list, this one probably has the most feeling attached to it. My wife introduced me to pork noodle soon after we met in 2010, and it has been one of my favourite breakfast dishes ever since.
It is a beautiful fragrant broth, with both pork mince and fillet, and often with liver and intestine aswell, plus crispy pork lard croutons, and a variety of other bits and pieces, depending on the stall you buy it from.
My goto place these days is at Batai, and the Shangri-La hawker stalls. They are expensive by KL standards, but given the area and the place it's located, I think they're ok. It is certainly popular among the locals! The photo below is the hawker centre, looking much like they usually do - most people sit outside.
The photo below shows the stall I get my pork noodle from:
Hard to see the menu, but what sets this guy apart is the variety of goodies he puts in - as well as what I mentioned above (minus intestine, alas he doesn't have that), he includes two kinds of pork balls, tofu skin, Chinese cabbage, and an egg. I don't even get all the extras, he has several others too!
It is not a cheap dish, at RM12 for the bowl, but to me is well and truly worth it, and one of the food items I will miss the most when we leave. I love the way the locals package food too, as shown here:
And then of course, once home, the final, plated dish:
Eaten with cut chili and soy on the side, and it is just wonderful, mmmmm........
