[2025 Kuala Lumpur Restaurant] Travel Guide for Kim Lian Kee Hokkien Mee (Updated Apr)

Location: Restaurant Kim Lian Kee in Chinatown, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Atmosphere: While strolling through Chinatown looking for food, I came across this crowded restaurant with chickens hanging at the front. I decided to give it a try. The restaurant is a red shophouse in Chinatown, very crowded, indicating its popularity. The chicken rice is very delicious, and the dipping sauce is unique, unlike Thai style. If you visit, make sure to try it. Address: 92, Jalan Hang Lekir, City Centre, 50000 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Located at the entrance of an alley in the bustling Petaling Street Chinatown, I didn’t do much research, but I ended up visiting Jin Lian Ji by chance! I once read that it was Teresa Teng’s favorite shop when I was browsing the internet, so since I was lucky enough to visit it, I decided to go there to satisfy my hunger! We arrived a little late, so the crowd was not as big as rumored. We didn't need to wait and could be seated directly! The traditional Chinese restaurant tables and chairs are quite tasteful. The menu is also quite Chinese! I ordered the must-order Fujian noodles and rat rice noodles, the must-drink herbal tea, barley, and silk stocking milk tea that were recommended online! The black Fujian noodles don't look like a delicious meal, but in fact, they are very thick Fujian noodles, and the noodles are quite chewy~ The clay pot mouse noodles are named because the noodles look like a mouse's tail, and they are indeed a delicacy chosen by the superstar Teresa Teng~ The rich silk stocking milk tea has a strong tea aroma; the herbal tea is much better than the herbal tea in mainland China (for my own taste... not too sweet, just right), and the barley water feels very good at reducing edema, a healthy drink! It is indeed a restaurant worth visiting, but the price is quite high, much higher than other street food. It is acceptable to try something new!

The staff can communicate in Chinese when taking orders. For the three of us, it was just right to order more than 100 dishes. Apart from the Tom Yum soup being a bit spicy, the food was pretty good, all with Taiwanese flavour. The name "Shou Shu Noodles" comes from the fact that the noodles resemble a mouse's tail. Just use your imagination to imagine it! #Malaysia #Kuala Lumpur #Malaysian Food

#malaysia Kim Lian Kee or 金蓮記 is a restaurant selling Hokkien Mee for almost more than a century. It is a must try when visiting Petaling Street. The Hokkien Mee in Malaysia is not the one with prawns we see in Singapore. Malaysia version is on a thicker and darker one. It’s very savoury, full of wok-hey. Recommend to visit the restaurant located in Petaling Street. Full of Chinese retro vibes. Address: 92, Jalan Hang Lekir, City Centre, 50000 Kuala Lumpur, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
