Traditional Recipe Restaurant is known for their special hand made teared noodles (pan mee), so one afternoon we decided to give it a try. It is located in Kota Damansara, which can get quite busy especially during lunch hours. You would be quite lucky to get a parking spot just outside the restaurant, so usually we would park a little further walk.

The restaurant is decorated with many wooden ornaments as well as newspaper cuttings on reviews of this establishment.
Inside the Restaurant
An interesting drink that we thought we should try; sour plum coke. On a hot day, this was quite a thirst-quenching drink.

The pan mee we ordered was of the soup form and was quite tasty. It had a simple soup base with some greens and ikan bilis. The colourful noodles were cooked well as they had good texture and held form.

Teared Noodles
The Farang Teared Noodles had the same soup base and included crab sticks and minced meat as the ingredients. The noodles that they provided us with however were not hand made (as they did not have it available), nor were they anything too special. Instead, they used a pasta similar to fusilli.

Besides the Teared Noodles, there were other dishes yet to be sampled, which includes Shanghai Dumplings, Lui Cha Tea Package and their Traditional Tofu.

This noodle dish we believe is ranked by many under the “forgotten” category and ordered mostly as an afterthought, tho the spicy one in Jln Dato Sulaiman ,KL has rave reviews

my cousin who works in Singapore told me that Pan Mee is not a staple dish you can find in any old hawker center… there are only a few places where you cna get it.
I wonder if KL city is also slowly becoming like that? I’ve always liked Pan Mee and hope it stays around for a long time to come…
Thx for dropping by guys…

I wouldn’t say it’s a “Forgotten” dish. I still can find it in a few hawker centre in cheras but of course it taste pretty much the same.
But there are a couple of restaurant that just purely sell’s pan mee in cheras. There’s one in Pandan, Tayton, Balakong, even near the Thai Fish Farm i brought you to there’s one house even make spinach pan mee.
It’s still a “Unforgotten” dish in cheras and i believe it will stay that way for a long time =)

Speaking of pan mee, I’ve recently received recommendations to try out another pan mee stall. Looks like there will be more to come.
