Pak Li Kopitiam (Shah Alam)
(Coordinates: N3° 4' 29.00" E101° 29' 6.00")
A long time ago we used to love coming to Pak Li just a hop, skip and a jump away from our apartment. It depended on lunchtime traffic from
surrounding offices to survive, had little to no patrons at night, and was virtually
empty during the weekends. After a brief struggle, it closed down. In fact, all
eating establishments that came after met with the same fate. We speculated
that since the premises was situated at the apex of a T-Junction the feng shui was
no good.
I loved coming to Pak Li for their delectable Mamak Mee. Looking
it up online, we discovered that Pak Li actually originated from Klang and had branches
there and in Shah Alam. So here we are!

We don’t know if it’s because we were early or it was
because of Ramadan but we were only one of two families dining here. Brendan chose
to go the western route and ordered Chicken Chop in Black Pepper Sauce; Cat had
the 1Prawn Mee while I opted for my all-time favourite 2Mamak
Mee.

dark soup stock with prawns, fish cake slices and bean sprouts topped with fried
shallots and spring onion

lamb, vegetables, tomato ketchup and spices

Brendan had trouble finishing his Chicken Chop due to the
very generous portions. Cat thought her Prawn Mee was just average while I was
happy that the Mamak Mee (as far as I could recall) was as good as ever.

The damage? Even with service tax of RM2.00 it came up to a
respectable RM35.40, which is within the realms of the you-know-what.
