Wouldn’t it be controversial to say that if we had state-level meals video games, Chilli Pan Mee can be the consultant for the Klang Valley? What’s to not like about this healthful dish? It’s hearty, healthful and for those who’re courageous sufficient, you might have it for each meal! Having lived an extended, fulfilling life, I’ve additionally been specific about my chilli pan mee.

So, in an try to be adventurous, I sought the worst-rated chilli pan mee within the Klang Valley. Everyone knows Tremendous Kitchen and Face to Face Noodle Home, so that they had been positively out of the query. A radical Google search revealed that the worst-rated chilli pan mee within the Klang Valley was being dished out at JJ Chilli Pan Mee on the Signature Meals Courts in Suria KLCC.

With a mere 2.8 stars on Google from 55 evaluations, patrons principally criticised the style of the noodles and the dearth of spice in them. As we all know, the important thing part relating to chilli pan mee is the CHILLI! 

You might come for me saying that my expectations needs to be low relating to meals from mall meals courts, however why ought to it? Coming from a era raised by Pepper Lunch and Suria KLCC being one of many highest-rated malls in Malaysia, my expectations had been set.

What I attempted at JJ Kitchen Chilli Pan Mee

We tried Singapore’s worst-rated briyani stall

A fast survey confirmed that the realm in entrance of the stall was comparatively empty which ought to have been a heads-up. Primarily based on the evaluations, most patrons selected to order the Selfmade Pan Mee Dry (RM11.90) and the Conventional Selfmade Pan Mee Soup (RM11.90) which was what I ordered as nicely. I additionally acquired their 3-piece wontons (RM7) as a aspect dish. I used to be shocked by the affordability of the meal, particularly compared to the opposite stalls within the meals court docket.

The noodles had been ready on the spot which was in all probability why the supply took comparatively lengthy. After nearly quarter-hour of ready, first to reach at my desk was the Conventional Selfmade Pan Mee Soup.

Admittedly, it did appear to be each different pan mee, however how about its style? Though the noodles had been freshly ready proper there, it seems that the identical stage of consideration wasn’t utilized in the course of the cooking technique of the noodles. The noodles had been doughy and hard to swallow. The portion was comparatively small, particularly for a giant eater like myself. We needed to play a recreation of ‘The place’s Waldo’ to search out the bits of meat. The one saving grace was the vege and the soup which had simply the correct quantity of salt and MSG.

Subsequent was the Selfmade Pan Mee Dry  which turned out to be the best disappointment. Much like the Pan Mee Soup, the noodles had been extraordinarily doughy which ruined the general style of the dish. The sauce lacked any spice in anyway and it felt like I used to be simply consuming soy sauce. The pan mee was salvageable, due to the dollop of sambal supplied on the aspect.

Turning my consideration to the wontons, I wasn’t stunned that they had been the moment sort. What threw me off was that they tasted outdated, particularly contemplating how not crispy they had been.

Amidst the chilli pan mee, one in every of my companions who’s a vegetarian ordered a Vegetable Briyani (RM20) from the north Indian stall reverse the pan mee stall. Clearly, this isn’t associated to JJ Kitchen however I consider this briyani deserves to be spoken about. I’ve eaten many plates of vegetarian briyani in my life however I’m not exaggerating that this was an exceptionally abysmal briyani. 

It lacked any flavour in anyway regardless of smelling fairly aromatic. The briyani resembled rice with yellow colouring, stir-fried with the dreaded holy trinity (frozen peas, corn and carrot). The raita served on the aspect was on its solution to being spoiled contemplating the way it was ignored within the open.

Remaining ideas

Was JJ Kitchen Chilli Pan Mee the worst pan mee I’ve tried? Sadly, sure, and the evaluations appear deserving. As for myself, I might fee it round 2.5 stars even with the potential it has. Nevertheless, the issues with this chilli pan mee aren’t persistent and merely want little tweakings right here and there to make it excellent.

This contains cooking the noodles slightly longer and amping up the spice ranges. Contemplating how a majority of its patrons are workers of the mall, and vacationers, enhancing their chilli pan mee would do wonders.
