Chilli ban mee from Malaysia Chiak

Both Malaysia Chiak!, Tangs Market and Nam Kee Pau are under the Fei Xiong Group. One can generally notice similarities from the food served under the group. This chilli ban mee from Malaysia Chiak! looked and tasted different from the one at Nam Kee Pau or Tangs Market though. Also noticed that this bowl didn't have any vegetables.

Flavour's pretty good though. Deep savoury sweetness from the dark soya sauce and there's lard. What really got my attention was the texture of the noodles. These were much more springy than I expected. The chilli paste didn't bring much heat so if you need to crank the Scoville units up a little, those soya sauce marinated cut red chillis are just the thing.

If you're interested they actually use ban mian from Lau Boon Heng. Can be found on Shopee. I'm a big fan of Nam Kee's ban mian. I think it beats the one by Jiak Song any day.
