‘Ming Kee Rice and Noodle House’ has more than 30 years of history since they started their business. Even the street where Ming Kee is located is called Lazat which means delicious. If you are around Taman Gembira, grab a dish of their wanton noodles and dumplings. Cooking wanton mee is a skill where timing is of utmost importance. A good plate of wanton noodles cannot be under or over cooked, and it must have a smooth texture as you shovel it into your mouth. At Ming Kee’s, their noodles certainly fit this criteria.
And there’s more! Their pork wantons are quite huge and the filling is ample enough for you to taste the sweetness of the minced pork. The sui kow deliciously has herbs, slices of carrots and Chinese coriander. For our dish, we love some stewed chicken feet and juicy black elephant eared mushrooms. It’s not really elephant ears but it’s real chicken feet. Optional though… but adventurous ones will want to try these…. stewed to perfection.
"Deep fried devils? Yes please..."
Tong Shui is a must for Chinese people if they still have some space left. But this shop, Min Kee (not to be confused with the noodle shop down the road ) has appeared in some Chinese dailies due to their awesome and delicious range of Chinese desserts. It’s a little hot to sit under the roof but it’s worth it. You can see droves and droves of people coming here to just take away the desserts. During weekends, it looks like there's a big sale going on here. I wonder how much they make a day. Min Kee’s tong shuis ( literally translated ‘Sugared Water’ ) ranges from Bubur Cha Cha to Red Kidney Bean soup. 7 -8 varieties in all. Don’t hesitate to ask them what's good. Try them all if you can.
And... there is also Deep Fried Devil as well – Chinese Crullers. It's nice to have it hot with porridge or even Bak Kut Teh. Another version, the ‘Ma Kuek’ is a form of Chinese cruller (deep fried) but it's sweeter and has sesame seeds on it. This is a must when you come here. Please rearrange your tummy for their spring rolls too. For people who fancy desserts that are not fried, you can try the Chai Kueh which has a turnip filling another vegetable called ‘Kan Choy’. Bellies should be full and tastebuds deliciously satisfied by now. It’s time to go home and plan your next trip here…
