Pork Ball Noodles (Mi Xian) in Superior Soup

Having planned ahead to head down to the branch office and upgrade a colleague's PC, I took the opportunity to venture around Petaling Jaya for great eats after doing so.

Since having failed to invite friends to join my gastronomical adventure, I pressed on on my own with the few places that's already been on my mind. The first stop started at a place where somebody had recommended me to try the noodles, GO Noodles House. GO Noodles House has a few outlets around but I chose to go the the Jaya One outlet. When I arrived at the scene, it had just opened and no one was there except for the staffs still preparing around opening up the place.

I inquired if they're opened and after receiving a positive confirmation, I decided to take my pick on my seating position. I finally sat down at the place nearest to their cash register and near the food dispenser area. Browsing through the menu, I finally to be typical and just decide upon their signature which is their Pork Ball Noodles, Mi Xian version with their Superior Soup. To drink, I just decided to hydrate myself with a 100 Plus. Note that this place is a place where you write down your own order on the order chit. Their noodles consists of a choice of whether to go for Mi Xian (the thicker noodles) or the Meehoon (thin vermicelli noodles). As for the broth, you have a choice of either their clear herbs Superior Soup or the Homemade Spicy Soup. I overheard a patron over there saying to go for their Superior soup.

The place depicts of ancient Chinese touch equipped with wooden hard wood furnitures and Chinese writings around. There's also a gong decor at the front too. The place quickly filled up with the working lunch crowd around within just 30 minutes. It seems that there's a lot of regulars that frequent this place, at least from my observation while I was there. There's an old uncle who works there (probably is the owner of the branch along with his wife) and many people seem to recognize and love to interact with the uncle. I've seen at least three times people walking in and asked is the uncle around and start talking to him. As I sat there observing the going ons of the restaurant, the place just seemed to be a bustling and busy place.

My noodles soon arrived and started to dig in to my grub. The pork balls were all sliced with a cross on the top to ensure that it's fully cook and easy to cool down to consume. The Superior Soup is basically cilantro/coriander since there were plentiful of it. Although I may not be a fan of the cilantro taste, the soup isn't as repugnant in that it's just cilantro taste. It's merely an essence of it but it's somehow changed, blended in with some other herbs mixed into the broth. The taste is most appealing to me and acceptable to my taste buds. I find it amusing that for spoon, they actually gave a small ladle for that purpose. The chili that I scooped up from it's container tucked in the corner along with the chopsticks and such packs a punch and gives off an addictive effect onto me. I couldn't stop eating it even though there's the suffering of the spicy backlash. The Mi Xian noodles were soft and fluid in it's movement easy for my pouty lips to slurp it up at one go without ever breaking it. The pork balls were full of porcine goodness; strong in it's taste.

A certainly satisfying meal. Great tasting all round noodles with the soup and pork balls, excellent condiments to go with it and a very conducive environment that contributes to my good feeling and appetite.

Total Wallet Damage:
RM13.40. 6% GST included and no service charge.

Final Verdict:
9/10. A very good recommendation to me. No wonder it's that person's favorite noodle place. This is the best pork ball noodles I've tasted and I've never tasted one with Mi Xian before. But then again, it's not very fair to compare this pork ball noodles to those hawker restaurants out there as that's not in the same league. That's why the price of this is about double the price. Still, it's such a lovely meal that I had. I'm definitely returning again one day when I get the chance and this time around, I would like to try the Frog Noodles.
