They have the best Hokkien mee and you have to also try the Loh mee and fish head noodle, all very reasonably priced, typical Chinese noodle house. This is our favourite place. Place looks old and could need some cleaning but food is good.

It was a late weekend night - around 11pm - and I had this deadly craving for lala, while I was sick. My friend brought me here, and tadaa - my craving for lala that had lasted for two weeks finally got fixed! Also known as 'Jin Shui' this place opens till late and they had been around for a pretty long time now. Well known for their Hokkien Mee and also other fried noodles, you can expect some humble local delicacies while you are here. Apart from various noodles, they also serve some seafood like lala and squid. For snacks and appetizers, they have Thai Style Tofu here. Parking usually wouldn't be too difficult, as this place is just beside a long row of shops, so there are ample parking spaces. Prices wise, I wouldn't say that they are cheap, but they are fair. We ordered a rice wine lala, one Thai Style Tofu and one single serving fried noodles for two of us, and with two herbal tea it costed us RM40. Wouldn't mind coming back again, shall the lala craving hit again!
