On Tuesday we went to Seremban for Hakka Mee. Eric wanted to impress my mother, I think. He'd been raving about the yummy noodles for months, and finally he managed to persuade Mum to tag along with us.

It was a holiday and I had to drag myself out of bed at 7 am just so we'll be able to reach Seremban early enough to avoid the crowd.

took us one hour to reach this thing
We arrived at the biggest market in Seremban at around 8.20 am. I bloody hate markets, especially wet ones. You walk in fresh and clean, go past the fish and chicken stalls, and you end up smelling like you haven't taken a bath for ages.

The Tow Kee Hakka Mee stall was on the second floor. The Hakka Mee looks COMPLETELY different from the ones we have in KL.
awesome hakka mee

Eric had TWO bowls of the thing! That oughta tell you how nice the hakka mee is. See I don't really like Hakka Mee, but this one calls for 1 hour journeys all the way from KL beginning 7.30 am in the morning. It's not really spectacular, but it's different, and tastes quite 'cheng-tim' (Cantonese for light and sweet).
so yummy Eric had TWO of these

Then we noticed that besides a bowl of Hakka Mee on every table there, the patrons were also tucking into a bowl of Lai Fan. Mum decided to test it out.

Mixing up the noodles in the soya sauce.
OMG the spoon is bigger than the bowl!!!

Done, and ready for the eating.
looks a bit like lou shu fan

It was great! Tasted a bit like Lou Shu Fan, but I think this is less oily.

Both the Hakka Mee and the Lai Fan are non-halal.
