Chitchat 130km to eat Ah See Wanton Mee !!

Agree, another favourite.

I forgot to add that the stingray dish is so tasty, besides good fish, is due to the gravy with excellent ingredients - you will end up slurpping it besides enjoy the stingray meat.......... it is ok by sgian std but expensive to the locals

Bro, even this joint you know!!. Did not realise that you and your group do rides in Malaysia. Have yet to do Malaysia.

Bro usually after doing two climbs up Frasers Hills from Kuala Kubu Bharu (KKB), and before we head for Tuas checkpoint we would end up at Chan Siew Heng Kampar Clay Pot Chicken Rice.

Chinese food suck. Its tasteless. Even eurasians prefer malay/ mamak/ nyonya food.

I have not seen a Malay restaurant doing well in the West.

i suggest u move your post to the philly bike ride thread.

I bet that you're not capable to ride from S'pore > Woodlands Causeway > Kota Tinggi > Desaru > Sungei Ringgit > Tanjung Berlungkor > Changi Point;
total distance 180 kms with breaks in KT and Sungei Ringgit from 5.30 am to 3 pm and hence you're feeling envious.

I never thought I will do it for a bowl of wanton mee but I heard of Ah See Wanton Mee so many times that I thought I better close this chapter once and for all. I even met one bloke in London who raved about it.

So with couple of kakis we headed North. Most came along for the ride. Here is the address.
Jalan Jenang Dalam, Kampung Pegawai, 83000 Batu Pahat, Johor, Malaysia. Its in the heart of town and not in some ulu area.

And it turned out to be the real deal - memories of good hawker fare of yesteryears started to flood thru. The noodle taste and texture, the sauce and the wanton all were excellent. One of the kakis who came from the ride had 3 rounds while the rest of us had 2 rounds. We then found out that everything including the noodles are prepared upstairs of the shophouse. Its a family run joint that began in the 1940s and now in the hands of the 3rd generation. The name of the shop is Chop See Kee but more commonly known as Ah See Wanton Mee as explained by the locals.

Seriously if you yearn for the good old days, this has to be in your bucket list.

Bro, great video and thanks for searching it out. Did not know one existed. I am sending this to the guy in London who raved about it.

Really impressed that they cooked everything from scratch. Surprised that they used charcoal for the char siew roasting in the barrel, no wonder its taste like that.

Sadly I found out that one of the daughters who was running the show passed away from cancer recently . Heard that they all speak good English. Also heard that their secret sauce can only be prepared by an immediately family member.
