Uncle Cheng Special Beef Noodle

Selen Kılınç

My search takes me to a location that's completely off my radar regardless of its strategic location close to the LDP. A background check warns me of a cocky, rude and eccentric “uncle”. He’s no where you can be seen whenever we arrive for lunchon an extremely quiet Monday. Our orders are taken and served quickly. Mine is tenderloin soup (RM10) while my son opts for mix cuts dry (RM13). His looks more impressive than mine, I’m afraid. An instant sip of my soup - consommé style; clear, beefy, filled with umami - quite satisfying. Could possibly be hotter. Meat is faultlessly tender and moist but with a good bite (not soggy). The dry version includes a host of very interesting toppings with the tendon and beef jerky standing way that beats all others. They are Never to be missed! I love they toss in fried peanuts for flavour and texture. As the lai-fun noodles tasted quite bland in the soup, at night meaty sauce it had been completely transformed! Rich and deliciously savoury. We even detected a hint of citrus (dried mandarin peel) - an extremely lovely detail! We was included with little expectation and the nearly empty shop almost turned us off but I have to say that the mix cut dry noodles did earn my respect. Definitely worth a second visit. My score 8.5/10

This restaurant is situated near my office that i can see before. It serves good beef noodles. The meals taste is similar to home cooking but devoid of the msg. Taste is average but very pricey. Portion is average. Typical restaurant fare but high endrestaurant price.
