Holy Moly Great Balls of Fire!
People may be used to hearing that saying, but Restoran Kin Kin in KL could probably get people to change it to ‘Great Pan Mee of Fire’ because the spicy Pan Mee here is no joke.
Signs around the little restaurant, located on the same row as many car work shops and even a gun store, remind people that Kin Kin is the ‘original spicy pan mee’ and that ‘the imitation places are not the same’.
The speciality of Kin Kin is their dry Pan Mee, which comes with a poached egg on the top and a bowl of soup with a few spinach leaves in it.
Little crunchy ikan billis and some minced meat top of the bowl and give it a great taste, just like this. But it’s called ‘spicy pan mee’ right?
So where is the ‘spicy’ in this Pan Mee if it comes plain with no chili in it? Well the ‘spicy’ is complete up to you.
On the table before the food arrives, you’ll see a dark red, black and brown mixture in plastic containers. If I’m not mistaken, it has dried chilis, peppers and dried prawns, all blended together to make one fiery concoction.
It’s completely up to you how many spoonfuls of this dried mixture you put in your bowl, the more the merrier.
Be sure to have a cup or two or three of herbal tea on your table to douse the flames in your mouth after eating a bowl.
A warning to those who have weak stomachs, this will really wreck your system if you put too much chilli. So go easy on the chilli mixture?
Some of you are probably wondering why anyone would put themselves through this much torment if they knew they would suffer while eating…
Well that’s because it tastes THAT good.
