Old School Feng Chun Noodle Stall (逢春面档) in Dengkil

If you work or studying in Cyberjaya, you'll know that Chinese food is hard to come by there, especially Chinese food that has pork in it. Yes, there's Old Town, Pappa Rich and Padi that sells Chinese style food but it's not cheap. So, the nearest option for those working in Cyberjaya is to drive to Dengkil to search for affordable Chinese meal with pork.

My colleague and I found this very old school noodle stall that is operating in a makeshift stall in a house. It's just two shops away from Dengkil Ng Seafood Restaurant. What I like about this stall is that the food here has a very homey feel to it.

Even though I say that it's a noodle stall, they also sells rice dishes there like fried rice. Their special fried rice, which is home style fried rice with chicken curry. Man, it's so delicious.

Another thing I like about this stall is that they sells so many different variety of noodle dish here that every time I come here I'll be able to try a different style of noodle dish. Their pork noodle is very different from the pork noodle out there that I tried before. The soup base is not very overwhelming. I love their mui choy (preserved vegetable) minced pork.

They also have wanton mee. Besides the normal char siew (Chinese BBQ Pork) they also throw in my the mui choy minced pork that I like.

One of the noodle dish that I haven't got to try is their herbal noodle. My colleague told me it tasted like bah kut teh noodle. From the look and smell of it, it's really very appetizing.

Of course, this stall is quite well known with their Hakka mee. I must say, it's one of the best Hakka mee I ever tasted. The taste is simple and the ingredients put in matched nicely with the noodle making it not too dry nor too wet. Satisfying. Of course, maybe it's because of the mui choy minced pork that they put in :p

I ordered pork noodle again one day and they told me that they are out of pork. So they substituted with char siew and wanton instead lol. Interesting combination though.

Sometime they will have specialty like vinegar pork trotters. I ordered it to go with my fried rice. So yummy. The vinegar is just nice not too sourish. It feels just like home cook food.

There are still Cantonese Fried Noodle, Hokkien Fried Noodle, Fish Ball Noodle, Yee Mee, Mushroom Chicken Leg Noodle, Fried Loh See Fun, Loh Mee, Mun Fan (gravy rice), Yellow Wine Chicken, Curry Chicken Noodle and Dumpling Noodle that I haven't try yet.

It opens from morning till 3pm and closed on Sunday. The night time is operated by another stall, which I think is okay only.

Don't be fooled by this picture. It's taken around 2.30pm. During peak hour it's packed.

Since my office shifted to Cyberjaya from Damansara Heights, finding some nice food or Chinese food to eat during lunch time is a headache. Lucky for me and my colleague Damon, Dengkil is just 5 minutes drive away and there are some hidden gem in terms of good food in Dengkil. Most of you will know about the popular Dengkil Seafood Restaurant and maybe Ah Di Bah Kut Teh.

While we were searching for lunch, we drove to almost the end of Dengkil town and I saw this restaurant that is quite old school. The shop is built with woods and uses zinc roof. I like old school restaurant. Takes me back to the simple life of a small town, although I don't grow up in a small town. I am a KL boy lol.

The prawn mee here is not the type like Penang prawn mee. It's more like their own creation of prawn mee. You can choose, Prawn Loh Mee, Prawn Soup Mee or Fried Prawn Mee. The boss also recommend to us Chili Fish (RM 26++), which is fish cooked slowly in warm oil (油浸) and then pour with special gravy with a lot of chilis. We didn't order because we won't be able to finish it. So, we ordered Prawn Loh Mee (RM 42) for 2 pax.

You must be shocked at the price right? Well, once we tasted the Prawn Loh Mee, we know why. It's because generous amount of big prawns were used to make the loh mee for two. The broth is filled with the taste of prawn. The prawn roes already fused with the broth. I also suspect that the prawn shells were used to make the base broth because there's only prawn meat in the loh mee. Only the prawn head that contain the roe still has a bit of shell intact.

Normally if eating loh mee, I will put vinegar to lift up the taste because the normal loh mee is kind of bland. But there's no need to put even a drop of vinegar forthe prawn loh mee here because the taste is very rich. I did try to put some vinegar to try out the difference. I found that the 'xian' (鲜) taste of the prawn was covered by the vinegar. So, it's your personal choice of whether to add the vinegar.

Another nice thing about the noodle here is that, it is all handmade by the owner. That's why the loh mee so much firmer and springier than the loh mee I tried elsewhere. They also have some dishes that can be eaten with white rice here. Next maybe I'll drop by again to try the Chili Fish, I saw the customers in the next table finished the whole fish leaving only the bone.

Rating: 4/5

Directions: If you're coming from Cyberjaya or Putrajaya or Kuala Lumpur, just followed the road sign to Dengkil. After you turn into Dengkil exit, go all the way straight passing shops like Restoran 113, Restoran 228, Petronas petrol station and Dengkil Seafood Restaurant. You'll stop at a traffic light where you can turn right or go straight. There's a police station nearby. Go straight after the traffic light into Jalan Besar, you'll see a few shops on your left. Restoran Yew Hin and next to it Restoran Sinki are there.
