Koon Kee Magical Wan Tan Mee.

For 'June' expedition #3, 4 of us drove out to June Liew's favourite family wan tan mee haunt in Uptown Damansara.

Located right across the road from an opened car park, parking your car should be a breeze. But you may also indulge in a little excitement by parking illegally by the roadside on the 'yellow line'.

Now, about Koon Kee's Wan Tan Mee... first impression failed big time. The char siew (bbq pork) didn't looked like they were done well; neither crispy nor caramelised enough. And the noodles looked too thick and colourless. Everything seemed suspiciously wrong.

Then I tasted the noodles. The flavour that's absorbed into it gushed out. The texture, the blend of sauce, the understated charred pork, everything, and I mean everything, simply fell into place. Like magic.

For variety sake, you get to choose the stewed chicken feet with mushrooms as toppings.

Or, for the not so adventurous, the plain shredded chicken strips.

As centre dishes, you can order extra helpings of Wan Tan pork dumplings, and/or the vegetarian goose (deep fried beancurd skin) from a different stall.

All in all, it's yet another truly satisfying one2two. To the few who pulled out from this trip - I'd make another trip with you guys soon.
