AhWa Restaurant (Hokkien mee, wat tan hor, penang pancake)

After being introduced to Jalan 222's AhWa's hokkien mee by relatives a month ago, I've been visiting it every week! Restaurant Ahwa is located just behind Shell petrol station at Jalan 222. Due to the restaurants popularity, it is almost always packed on weekends. Besides their famous Hokkien mee and wat tan hor, their duck rice, fried chicken wing, lala, grilled fish and pancakes are pretty good.

We ordered Hokkien Mee for 2 ( Rm 12 for 2 ) and wat tan hor for 1 (Rm 6). According to my friend, there are 2 chefs here. One is the 'Sifu' and the other is the apprentice. Even though both serve tasty noodles, but the ' sifu's ' version is slightly drier than his apprentice. The Hokkien mee is delicious, rich in flavour, which has the dark soya sauce taste but not too overwhelming, along with the bits of lard. A plate of hokkien mee is never complete without sambal. The sambal here is superb, not too spicy or strong, and suits the hokkien mee just right. This place is so famous for its Hokkien mee that almost every table has a plate of Hokkien mee.The Wat tan hor however, is not that impressive, which I find is on par with many Restaurants around KL.

 

Little lim pancakes. The pancakes here are very good, Never overdone or undercooked and almost always crispy. They sell a variety of pancakes which include tuna, ham, cheese, peanut, sweetcorn, meatfloss, banana chocolate, etc. The ham, cheese and mayo pancake is my favourite (Rm3.90). The mayo they use is of the Japanese variety, which is tastier than the local mayonaise. Due to the long preparation, it is recommended to order before hand as it takes about 10 to 15 minutes.

Will do a review on other stuff here next time.Please do leave your comments and suggestions for other good food places. Thanks!
