Kin Kin Chilli Pan Mee review

Went to Kin Kin Chilli Pan Mee in Singapore (haha, nope I did not drive 4 hours to KL for this) for lunch on Monday.

Thanks Charles for suggesting and sending all 7 of us there! Haha taking his car is similar to taking a roller coaster.

It was even more hilarious than usual cos he wasn't sure how to get there, and Terry's GPS kept telling him it was a 4 hour drive (hence the earlier joke in front) and everyone started joking saying that they didn't bring their passports out for lunch.

We arrived at around 12:15pm and we were lucky cos we didn't have to wait for a table (there were 10 of us) but we did manage to snap up the last remaining table lol. So, luck?

Here's a photo of the noodles (only one photo cos I was HUNGRY and couldnt be bothered to do artsy fartsy shots HAHA)

You can add the chilli flakes as much or as little as you like, which is what I love about this. Usually when places have famous food you have to eat it as it is, and the name itself has the name "chilli" in it, and I have extremely low tolerance for it (I'm sorry Chinese ancestors, I've failed you as a Chinese haha)

The noodles were yummy, but the crowning glory was indeed the chilli flakes. I added a little, and it was awesome, and (not for the first time) I lamented my suckiness at eating chilli. The chilli flakes melt in your mouth, I kid you not.

And the fact that there's a poached egg makes it different from the usual ban mian sold in Singapore, which is usually served with a soup base. We also ordered the fishball soup (not pictured), which is surprisingly delicious! The fishballs were larger than normal, so you'd expect it to be more dense and tougher than the regular sized meatballs, but they weren't! The meat was tender and just perfect. (Yes I sound like Goldilocks lol)

The soup was also delicious, but in recently, whenever I taste nice tasting clear soup, I'd drink and then suspect how much MSG actually went into the soup, and then I won't finish it. :( Sigh.

Verdict: 4/5

Introducing my "How-long-I'll-wait" meter (HLIW) HAHAHA. This meter tells you how long I think is the max that you should wait for food. If it's any longer, you shouldn't wait, because it's not worth the wait.
