Kota D'sara Chilly Panmee (Rest. Super Kitchen)

At long last i manage to get the needed photos to blog about this panmee shop in Kota Damansara! Now, here's the question everyone's asking... is it ever as good as Kin-Kin's, the de facto and benchmark for their version of the spicy chilli pan mee! I can say for sure, it's really is a good contender and i'd place it 2nd only if u consider both bowls side by side with no other fringe benefits! Let's just say... i've been going back to Super Kitchen (SK) instead of Kin-Kin's (KK) for this version of the spicy dry noodle!! This is why i'd return most times...

1. Kota D'sara is in a slightly less congested part as compared to ChowKit. Getting in and out of the shop, including parking woes and traffic... you'd get to SK easier.

2. Service is with a smile...and yes it matters!

3. You get more options in SK as oppose to KK... Afterall, they've only got a default of dry panmee, wet and yee-mee.. i think. And it's even fixed size! Heck, nobody goes there to eat anything else except their chilli panmee!!

4. Here's the winner point for me... They'd let u 1up your vegie dosage! I've always ordered my bowl of noodles with an extra dose of the green stuff! If u're going to be killin' your digestive tract, at least help ease the traffic with a lil' more ruffage!

5. Per bowl, somehow over the years KK has shrunk! Erm, maybe if someone does a dollar to grams measurement, we'd have a more definite answer here, but I'm comparing bowl per bowl...and SK wins here! My usual is a 2 bowl sit-down in KK... finishing that, i'm still yearning for seconds but knowing it's already tearing me around the seams. After a 2 bowl session in SK. I can't move... seriously!! It's pure gluttony to eat 2 bowls here! What more...trying to consume the third bowl!

6. SK serves HOT chinese tea! 'Nuff said!

7. If you'd step into either places on any given weekend during peak-periods, lets just say expect to wait at least an hour for your bowl in KK! Now, that and the fact that SK's not so "famous" yet... Last trip up, i was there for lunch at apporx 1:30. Taking the last seat in the house, i got my noodles within 15mins!!

8. The last point isn't a real point, as it's rather contradicting... KK' comes with pork lard! Now, here's why KK's still the best, taste-vice..but unfortunately, thanks to the fact I'd wanna see my children grow past puberty, i've been eating at SK. Now, this is an assumption as I'm uncertain if it's really the lack of lard that makes the difference... of if both KK and SK has lard in their noodles. But as they'd say, what you don't see, won't hurt u... :P Lard placebo anyone?

anyone's got any other vs. pointers to add, do please comment!

Okay, so there's actually a technique to eating a bowl of chilli panmee! You can't just eat it off the bowl as really... it has to be savoured! Firstly, get lime (Citrus microcarpa)! Both KK and SK serves them... KK's tend to be dried up while SK would cut 'em for you upon request. My measurement's a lime per bowl. You'd also need a dash of soy-sauce, as the egg needs salting. Approx a tablespoon of the infamous dried chilli goes in next! The combination has to be made proper depending on one's chilli tolerance! To much and u'd end up with a stomach churner, just right and it'd be the greatest thing you've tasted! So ensure total silence, do not operate heavy vehicle and make sure you've ordered your beverage beforehand! :P

Mix them all up, make sure that you'd also break the egg-yolk during this process! What you'd get is an of even, slightly reddish chilli coating and yellow egg-yolk all over your noodles, with a good mixture of achovies and mince pork all over...yummy!

You'd have to dig in quick too as once it cools down and the egg yolk coagulates, it'd harden becomes dry and well... spoil your day!

So here are the needed details I stole of someone's blog...Sorry, complements to your piece of information!
