Mee Tarik is exactly what it is — noodles that are pulled and stretched, typically done in an open kitchen before they are cooked in boiling water. These hand-pulled noodles are usually served in an aromatic broth consisting of sliced beef and other ingredients. You can also add in some chilli oil if you prefer a touch of spiciness. Below is our compilation of the 8 best mee tarik spots in KL & Selangor in alphabetical order.
