| Another Post on Chilli Pan Mee? Posted: 16 Oct 2011 08:55 PM PDT  What comes to mind when you imagine noodles, anchovies, poached egg and dried chilli? No prizes for guessing it right, for my tell-tale title has given it all away.
Poached egg goodness It was also fascinating to see the noodles being made right in front of your eyes, fresh from the machine. Each portion took merely a few seconds to turn from a slab of dough into strands of noodles.
Hard at work
Strands of noodles fresh from the machine Without further ado, I placed my order – there are only two options, either the dry or soup pan mee. To enjoy the complete satisfaction of Chili Pan Mee, order the dry one. It will come with fried shallots, anchovies, minced meat and a whole poached egg on a bed of noodles.
Dry version Pan Mee The chilli paste was stored in a separate container, so that you could control the level of spiciness you want your noodles to be. Just look at the chilli flakes – fiery red and shiny from the chilli oil, one can tell that it’s not going to be easy on the tummy! But I was well-prepared. I took one big spoonful of the chilli and mixed it with the noodles, all the while emitting a pleasant aroma that made me salivate even before eating.
The fiery chilli paste
Chilli Pan Mee (RM5.80) You know you’ve got a good bowl of chilli pan mee when the poached egg is perfect, the golden yolk flows into the noodles and coats them evenly, and the chilli flakes give the noodles a bright red sheen with bits of minced meat attached. The first bite of the chilli pan mee is the most satisfying one – after all the work of tossing and mixing, the excessive salivating due to the absolutely glorious aroma of chilli and shallots – came the ecstasy of firing up your senses with spicy chilli and bouncy noodles. Oh yes, Kin Kin did live up to its expectations. The noodles were exceptionally firm and chewy, while the chilli paste was spicy, spicy, spicy! But with a hint of aroma apparently from the addition of tea leaves within. It’s really different from the other chilli pan mee I’ve tasted before. This is good stuff. Needless to say, I was addicted to it and kept on slurping even though I was perspiring all the way.
Gloriously spicy chilli pan mee Since we were already there, Saucer also tried the Soup Pan Mee for the fun of it. It came in a big bowl also with a poached egg and anchovies! On top of that, there were slices of pork fillet and vegetables within. Of course, eating this after the chilli pan mee, I felt it to be a little too bland. My palate was already accustomed to the tasty and spicy chilli so I can’t be a good judge.
Soup Pan Mee But if you find it too bland like me, you can always add chilli flakes to it! Who says chilli pan mee has to be dry?
Abundance of noodles and more
Interior of Kin Kin Restaurant We were there circa 11am that Saturday, and service was pretty good, perhaps because the place was still less than half full. Therefore, I had absolutely no complaints about this chilli pan mee – it’s a bowl of noodles that’s worth sweating for! Literally!

Being a self-proclaimed chilli pan mee aficionado (you can do a search of Chilli Pan Mee on my blog and see how many times I’ve featured them before 
), I’m almost ashamed to admit that I had never tried the much talked about Kin Kin Chilli Pan Mee before. So one day, Saucer decided to bring me there on a weekend, to free me of my guilt.
