Inside 10 minutes, an enormous bowl topped with a beneficiant quantity of parsley sat on the desk. I might odor the robust natural scent emanating from the bowl. There have been additionally bits of fried anchovies, chunks of minced pork meat and julienned wooden ear fungus. There have been additionally goji berries in it (yay for antioxidants!). The dish got here with a aspect of chilli belacan for many who need somewhat kick of their broth. A little bit heads up—  should you discover parsley completely despicable, it’s extremely really helpful you keep away from this dish. 

Undaunted by the portion of parsley, I blended all of the components collectively and took a fast sip of the natural broth. The natural style was relatively potent, I might undoubtedly see myself slurping this down on a wet day as a substitute throughout Malaysia’s notorious sweltering warmth. I’m positive it will additionally fare effectively for many who are down with a chilly. I notably loved the noodles— it had this bouncy, springy chunk to it. Paired with the juicy wooden ear fungus and the saltiness of the fried anchovies, it turned out to be a relatively scrumptious pan mee. The parts have been undoubtedly beneficiant too. 

Simply as I used to be gobbling down the noodles, the Fried Prawn Dumplings arrived. I squealed with delight and instantly took a chunk (and burnt my tongue within the course of). It was simply scrumptious! Crispy on the surface and it was packed to the brim with minced prawn meat, carrots and if I’m not mistaken, extra of the wooden ear fungus. It was so tasty that I wolfed the 2 items. I simply might have eaten 4 of these crispy infants. 

Ultimate ideas

As I completed my previous couple of bites of Natural Parsley Soup Pan Mee and was sweating profusely, I admitted that as a lot as I really loved this natural broth– this was undoubtedly one thing I couldn’t eat on a scorching day. However then once more, there have been many shoppers who have been slurping down the bowl with ease— so it’s as much as you, actually. The dumplings have been lip smackingly scrumptious and I might undoubtedly advocate you to attempt it out. 

For these of you who can’t take parsley, fret not. Mye Mye Pan mee serves an array of different noodle-based dishes such because the Conventional Pan Mee, Chilli Pan Mee, Fried Mee Pan Mee, Pork Noodles and Kolo Mee. 

However would I commerce my beloved spicy chilli pan mee for this bowl of herbs? I might say thanks however I’ll persist with my chilli pan mee. Thanks Uncle Roger for introducing me to a brand new world of pan mee. And that is undoubtedly essentially the most parsley I’ve had in my whole life.
