I pass by this shop everyday when i go to work, when the sun is young and about to rise up to the sky. This place has been here since ages ago, i suspect way before i was born so to speak. Located in one of the most mentioned road on the traffic report on radio from 7am to 9am, it is Jalan Loke Yew.
So what about Hung Kee? Notoriously known to serve cut throat prices of wanton mee so is Meng Kee char siew and Pudu siew yoke. The fact remains that if the food is good, no matter how much i charge you, my fan base will still be there. Better still, the owner makes even more money and we, foodies are also happy as they are here to stay..
On a rainy Saturday afternoon, we finally decided we were sick of venturing into another eating outlet situated in a shopping centre. We wanted something old school, something like Char siew in Tengkat Tong Shin but thats too near Sungai Wang, or Pudu Siew Yoke, wasnt sure if it was open on Saturdays, so before another option arise, i turned in and we reached outside Hung Kee, a very ancient looking shop that is famed for their springy wanton noodles..
Overall, a very old school place for some wanton mee.. Best best would be a nice plate of plain wanton mee with some of their roast meats ala char siew and maybe roast chicken or duck.. Their prawn dumplings are also very worth trying.. All that for only RM30plus (USD 10).. As this is a place that is older then me, despite its faults, it gains a reputable 7.5 out of 10.. if not how did it survive for so long?
Address:
28-5 and 28-6, Jalan Loke Yew
Pudu, Kuala Lumpur
