Chong Ko – Hakka Noodle – Pandan Indah, Cheras
December 4, 2008 – 9:34 am - 1,983 viewsHakka Noodles are quite a rarity around KL, apparently they are more popular in East Malaysia (something like Kolo Mee) and you can get them easily in Ipoh (lot’s of Hakka people there?).
Anyway there’s a superb Hakka Mee in Pandan Indah in Cheras, if you are looking for something not too rich, handmade and full of goodness I suggest you head over there.
Hakka Mee are basically handmade noodles (without the eggyolk and oil) making them healthy and springy, cooked on the spot with a light soup and some minced meat and spring onions on top. Usually served with fish or meat balls (your choice) and the deliciously tangy and spicy Hakka Chili Sauce!
The Chong Ko Hakka Noodle in Pandah Indah is apparently from the same family as a famous Hakka Noodle in Kuala Lipis. But thankfully this one is much easier to find (If you know where Steven’s Corner is you can find this place).
The interior is plain and clean and generally always busy.
The noodle itself is quite a plain fare as described above, but very tasty nonetheless.
I always go for it with a portion of meatballs, as seen at the back.
And the Sui Gau which are rather good there too.
But the way you have to eat it, really – is drenched in the special Hakka Chili Sauce. It’s got a kick though so be warned.
A solid favourite when in Cheras for breakfast, healthy and tasty and very authentic. We give it a We Ate This 8/10.

there is this guy who frequents this shop.. most of the time when i go there, he’s there. he is HUGE, and he has this standard order, where he orders something like 5-6 bowls worth of hakka noodles, and the ppl at the shop serve it to him in this huge ass mixing bowl. a MIXING BOWL. then 5 glasses of cold chinese tea.

If you think the KL version one is good, then you must try the Lipis one.
Of course, Lipis one is easier to find, since there’s only 2 streets.
Oh, the color of the chilli is not red, camera color or what ? The ‘real’ thing should be red, bright red.

The Seremban Favourite Hakka Mee was pretty good too. Was actually surprised that plain-looking noodles taste good.
By the way, the Hakka chilli sauce sounds inviting!
