Sri Petaling is an area unfamiliar to us, and driving around
aimlessly at night can be pretty challenging. As luck would have it (as has
always been the case) we had actually planned on having dinner at a food court
nearby which was closed. We’re not sure if it’s closed for the day or permanent out of business, but the
place sure looked dark and desolate.
Wandering further down the road we stumbled across this
novelty restaurant with the interesting name. It actually says Restoran I Love 1Hokkien
Mee on the signboard!
1yellow noodles braised in thick dark soy sauce with pork, squid, fish cake and cabbage as the main ingredients with cubes of pork fat fried to a crisp (the best examples are usually cooked over a raging charcoal fire!)

Since its one of Cat’s perennial favourites, she promptly
ordered the signature dish while Brendan tried the ‘Dry’ 2Fried Kuey
Teow. I was not in the mood for noodles so I ordered my recurrent favorite, the
simple and satisfying 3Fried Rice.
2flat rice noodles stir-fried over very high heat
with light and dark soy sauce, chili, a small quantity of belachan, whole
prawns, de-shelled cockles, bean sprouts, chopped Chinese chives and egg
3steamed rice stir-fried in a wok, usually with
other ingredients such as eggs, vegetables and meat

| respectable |
While the dishes were a bit pricy (RM7 per plate) taste-wise we were not disappointed. All in all including fruit juices all around the total came to a respectable total of RM30, which translates to RM10 per person, the modest going rate for dinner in the Klang Valley these days. The everyday food for the everyday person? Yes, we would agree to that but the more important question is; would we come back? Again, the answer is a reserved affirmative since Sri Petaling is apparently a food haven for Chinese cuisine offering a very wide range of dishes.
We will definitely be back to this neck of the woods to
explore the various and plentiful eateries here.
