Petaling Street, Kuala Lumpur, Kuala Lumpur
Order: KL-style black Hokkien mee fried over charcoal with lard crackling
Widely credited as the birthplace of KL's dark, thick Hokkien mee back in 1927. The charcoal wok, dark soy and crispy lard bits still make this a pilgrimage plate in Chinatown.
Jalan Maharajalela, Kuala Lumpur, Kuala Lumpur
Order: KL black Hokkien mee with pork liver, prawns and lard
Running on Jalan Maharajalela since the 1960s, Mun Wah is a perennial name on KL Hokkien mee shortlists. The shop is cramped and the wait long on weekends, but the glossy, porky noodles reward the patience.
