A good dish doesn’t have to be complicated, and that certainly rings true for Hakka noodles or Hakka mee. A typical bowl usually consists of seasoned springy yellow noodles topped with minced pork and chopped spring onions. That being said, here are 7 Hakka Noodles Spots You Can Try in Klang Valley.
1) TNR By Sean & Angie
If you like your char siew sweet and caramelised with enough ratio of fat, you might want to head over to TNR by Sean & Angie. You can enjoy their signature melt-in-your-mouth char siew with white rice, wantan noodles and even Hakka noodles. Having tried the latter, I do like their springy Hakka noodles, where each bowl comes with minced meat and chopped spring onions. The noodles taste good even on their own but I ordered the one with added char siew. The result? A satisfying combo that pairs well with each other.
Address: 101, Jalan SS 2/6, SS 2, 47300 Petaling Jaya, Selangor.
2) Restoran Yi Poh
Originally based in Seremban since 1948, Restoran Yi Poh also has several branches in KL and PJ areas, namely Sri Petaling and PJ Old Town. They are, of course, famous for their lo shu fun (silver needle noodles) and Hakka noodles. I tried their dry Hakka noodles (you can go for the soup version too) at one of their branches in Asian Avenue in Sunway Pyramid. The savouriness of the noodles tastes appetising enough. And let’s not forget the combination of minced pork, lean char siew meat and chopped spring onions.

The noodles are springy, coupled with an overall good mouthfeel upon every bite. Depending on your preference, you can either go for the thin or thick version. Not to mention the noodles goes well with minced meat and spring onions. Don’t forget to scoop some of their chilli sauce into the noodles for an added spicy kick.

Did you know that Chun Kei has an illustrious history spanning over 90 years? Located at Jalan Sayur in Pudu, their speciality lies in their famous Hakka noodles. Most customers praised their noodles’ overall savoury taste and chewy texture while the added minced meat and lean char siew hit the right spot.

5) Restoran Famous Seremban Favourites
Restoran Famous Seremban Favourites has been around for over a decade. Among the reasons for their longevity has to be the restaurant’s popular char siew. And here, you can enjoy them with noodles or rice. If you prefer the former, their Hakka noodles with added char siew come highly recommended. The noodles are appetising and complement well with the caramelised char siew goodness, which has all the right lean-to-fat ratio.

6) Hakka Restaurant
This famous Hakka Restaurant may have been over 60 years old. But it still attracts a lot of customers, particularly those who love to crave authentic Hakka cuisines. And not surprisingly, one of the popular dishes available on the menu includes the obligatory Hakka noodles. They offer different versions here, beginning with the plain old-school favourite served with minced pork and spring onions. Alternatively, you can go for the stir-fried variety with pork, dried squids & bean sprouts in black sauce or the braised version with mushrooms, chicken & Chinese cabbage. Prices, in the meantime, are rather on the high side.
Address: No. 90, Jalan Raja Chulan, 50200 Kuala Lumpur.
7) Restoran Ruth
Restoran Ruth serves a typical dim sum menu from char siew bao to siew mai. But those who prefer noodles might want to try their popular Hakka Mee served with minced pork, vegetable and char siew. The bouncy texture of the noodles is one of the main reasons that made their Hakka Mee such a must-order dish. Other than the regular Hakka Mee, they offer a spicy version as well.
