Cha-Cha Pan Mee Original @ Aman Suria Petaling Jaya

It used to be just a stall in Taman Mayang dishing out tasty Pan Mee (Flat Flour Noodles) and as Euro was telling me, she was sad when she went to the usual coffeeshop and found that they were no longer there.

However, I brought a smile back to Euro's face when I brought her to Cha-Cha Pan Mee Restaurant in Aman Suria as it turned out that she can still get to eat her favourite Pan Mee. As for myself, I have to thank my ex VHC aka Tiger for bringing me here.

They have just shifted to the new and bigger location about 3 months ago and looks like the news has already gotten round to their regulars. You see the staff greeting the customers in a way you know that they are regular patrons :o). This place is usually packed during peak hours but the wait for your order is bearable...I think 15 minutes at most. Pan Mee here is available is several varieties - Dry, Soup, Curry to name some of them but my favourite has got to be the Original Cha-Cha Pan Mee Soup (I've been ordering that without fail each time I'm here!).

At RM4.50 for a small bowl (which is rather large actually), there's an increase of RM0.50 which is reasonable I find since the place is air-conditioned as compared to the previous operation. Now, what I find good about Cha-Cha Original Pan Mee is that the noodles are smooth and thin (would have prefer it to be a tad thicker for even more oomph) but what I love the most is the soup! The soup is super yummy - not as in MSG yummy but the sweetness from the sweet beans that is used for the soup base, so good that I will normally drink it up to the very last drop! As for the other ingredients, there are some minced pork, pork ball, mushrooms, foo chuk (beancurd sheet), sweet potato leaves and my fave of all the toppings - bits of crispy lard!

The other crispy thing that I like munching on too is this : -

Crispy anchovies that are served on the side rather than submerged in the soupy bowl of noodles. Best eaten with noodles though as it's salty on its own. You can ask for more if you want to. Too bad their chilli sauce is just average though, or they would have totally nailed it!

With the heatwave that we have been experiencing....this Pineapple Juice with honey (RM3.50) was simply heavenly and thirst quenching. Gosh....this weather is almost killing me!

Pardon me....but I'm off to cool myself down now. As JC said, North Pole anyone???
