Jin Man Noodle House, Shah Alam

Was supposed to have lunch at 1pm at Bangsar, but we were way hungrier than expected and was already running late , so we detoured for a quick brunch before our lunch :p
Jin Man seems to be a more popular joint among the residents within it's vicinity, enjoying brisk business. The food here is simple, fish cakes, fishballs with your choice of noodles..
The homemade fish cakes..
Served piping hot, the fishcake was crisp, springy and flavourful with fish taste. Enjoyable even without the chilli sauce.
The fishballs were excellent stuff..
Very bouncy, each bite was springy and delicious. Didn't try to see how high this fish ball would bounce, but I'm guessing a fair bit of height :p
We had the fishballs with wantan noodles..
Good textured noodles, the wantan mee was cooked to the QQ texture that I like.
Overall a quick, satisfying meal, I'll definitely pop by if I'm around this area in the future.
Jin Man Noodle House is located at 17, Jalan M31/M, Kota Kemuning Sek 31, 40460 Shah Alam.

Tsim Chai Kee Noodle, Central, Hong Kong

As you have read in my earlier post, I was at Hong Kong for 9 days..I will be covering mainly food in Central Hong Kong as I stayed there and had most of my meals over that area.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We were just in time for lunch when we reached Central, Hong Kong.
It was very sweet of SF to meet us for lunch during her workday, it must have been very hectic for her. Thanks dear!
Our first meal?
Wantan mee with shrimp wantan of course :)
A plate of veggies to start the meal.
Some kangkung with a generous dollop of sauce ( fermented beancurd based) Fresh and sweet, the kang kung in HK is finer is texture and size.
SF had shrimp wantans with hor fun (flat rice noodles), HKD16
Most of the locals add in vinegar and chili paste (lat jiu yau) for stronger flavours..
I had wantan noodles with shrimp wantan and fish balls (HKD21)The wantan noodles, as expected, was extremely springy. Lovely to sink my teeth in. The shrimp wantan was filled with fresh, sweet prawns. And I was rather amazed with the size of the fish balls. Larger than table tennis balls, it's less springy than the usual fishballs; had a slight orange peel fragrance to it. Quite different in taste and you can feel the bit of coarseness in the texture. Tasty but I prefer the shrimp wantans.
This restaurant only serves it's noodles with 3 types of ingredients, shrimp wantans, fishballs and beef slices.
Tsim Chai Kee Noodle is located at 98, Wellington Street, Central, Hong Kong.
