Restaurant Kin Kin

Yes. Hello!

Where have you been?  I've been up and about, keeping myself busy.  Been months since I actually even checked my blog since I've gotten back to KL...No worries, a ton of updates will be flooding in soon ;)

And now?  What's up with you?

What's up is ME! Rawr... The first few days I was back, Alexis (a guy, yes, I know it's a girl's name) and Dong took me out for some cheap and great eats at a place called Restaurant Kin Kin.

Boo Yeah!

So, what have we gotten ourselves into??

First off, when it comes cheap eats in Malaysia that differ from the usual mixed rice or everyday chicken rice, you have got to be wary about the amount of germs or detergent in your food.  I ate here once...and it passed MY health check.

Although we came in late, we've got a good seat at the back of the area...albeit it's hot as a freaking oven to me.

 

Backdoor View doesn't look that dodgy
ie, cleanliness.


Watch out. =P

Messing around, I decided to play around with some toys while waiting.  As a general rule, when ordering a feast, best to order more and before than because it does take a LONG while for the food to arrive.. About 15-20 minutes.  The entire restaurant sells ONLY Chilli Pan Mee and it's REALLY crowded.

Well, Hello there~

Fishballs and dried soy bean curd...With these items as a base, you can deep fry then, boil them, grill them, sautee them, stew them, drop them together with your insta-noodles, and heck, one day I will throw them on a barbie while skewered together with some pepper... *drool*

To my delight, the fishballs were amazingly soft and chewy...Ahhhh, nostalgia where I used to eat fishballs when I was a kid, alternating with chopsticks to cool them one by one.

A lovely appetiser, so far =)

Chilli Pan Mee

\m/

What's this I've gotten myself into?? Chili Pan Mee!! Ohh man.. Thick dried yet succulent noodles with what looks like a kickass Poached Egg (In Malaysia, no less) topped with tasty Mince Beef, crunchy, fresh and golden brown Ikan Bilis (Anchovies), Fried Shallots and of course, topped off with some Spring Onions.

Here's the thing about what I've discovered on my own while comparing cuisines.  In most Chinese/ASEAN dishes, the garnish usually serves to enhance the flavour giving the dish a more robust kick to your tongue.  This is probably where I developed the habit to always grab more 'garnish' when preparing my own dishes.  ;)

However, for this, I only added a tiny bit of spicy chilli because I have been only taking "spicy" Korean food back in Buffy/Melb, that I don't think that I can handle the spiciness that will be coupled together with the heat from the food while it's hot..

First Victim.

Barely enough for 3 dudes.

Let's see.. 1 bowl of fishballs etc, 5 bowls of Chilli Pan Mee, 3 bowls of soup with veggies and egg dropped into them and a ton of iced herbal tea =)

Wow, noodles will never make a person really full...which is why for those who constantly eat noodles and binge on starch, they'll surely gain weight.  When I left, I felt as though I could down another bowl...Oh well..

Where is this place?? Sorry, I have a general idea, but I have really no exact address to this place...so Google Maps ftw.

D700, 17-35mm.  Extremely bad lighting.. Harsh noon sunlight from the outside, florescent lighting on the inside.  Bump up that ISO.. <3 DSLRs these days.

Damn, writing this got me really hungry.
