Pandan Indah – Nice Bowl Restaurant 班登英达- 碗碗靓面馆！

I like reading the articles in Sin Chiew Newspaper about nice food in Malaysia. I even kept the newspaper cuttings so that I can try out the recommended food stalls when I am free. I’ve just got a long leave so I decided to bring my mom to one of the suggested food spot - Nice Bowl Restaurant at Pandan Indah.

According to the article, the four types of noodles are very tasty and cheap (RM4.80 per bowl) - Asam Laksa, Prawn Mee, Chicken floss flat noodles (Kai See Hor Fun) and Curry Mee. They looked really nice in the pictures, which were also displayed in the shop visibly. I also saw the posters on the walls introducing their breakfast set which is RM 3 only – a cup of coffee, 2 boiled eggs and a bun.

However, the noodles didn’t turn out nice as expected. The soup was too thick with the sweet taste of flavoring; you could see bubbles floating on the soup. My throat felt dry after drinking the soup. The prawns were not fresh, the heads were black, the meat was hard and the natural sweetness has gone. The chicken floss of the Kai See Hor Fun was disappointing as well. It was dry and tasteless.

Either the author’s taste bud or mine must have gone wrong.



星洲日报的大都会每逢星期五有一个吃在四方系列，介绍本地美食。偶然读到一篇介绍一家位于班登英达的碗碗靓面馆，还图文并茂地介绍它的‘四大面王’。既然它离我家不远，我便驾车去解馋，哈哈！它的店面离Shell Autoserve 不远。倒不用担心往哪儿付泊车费，当你一停车的三秒之内，就会有位大兄冒出来向你收一零吉。

我点了四大面王中的虾面和鸡丝河粉。不知是否期望太高，有点大失所望的感觉。佐料方面，虾面和鸡丝河粉没太大的差别， 都是虾和鸡丝。虾面 – 鸡丝，三只虾，三片鸡蛋及几条空心菜。鸡丝河粉 - 鸡丝，四只比较小且已去头的虾及青葱。

鸡丝河粉的汤太浊，本来用虾头熬的清汤已经够甜了，不明白为何还要加那么多味精。基本上虾面和鸡丝河粉的汤好像是一样的，只是虾面的汤比较辣而已。两碗面的鸡丝干硬无味，虾肉也是不新鲜且硬邦邦的，有雪藏的味道又没清除肠泥。

哎，报道有时也是一种广告方式而已罢了。
