Food arrived, what else is there, except tuck in. I tucked into Fish Head Noodle. House specialty "original pan mee" and fried fish head fillets. Crispy fried fish head and noodles in a milky tangy broth, garnished alongside spring onion and fried shallots, and when eaten with the chilli flakes, I tell you! Up to heaven I went, never mind I had to pause and blow my nose in between.
My two colleagues had the Original Chilli Pan Mee Dry Style. Flat noodles, minced crispy pork, fried anchovies, runny egg and shrooms, accompanied with a sweet potato leaf soup. Eaten after mixing the noodles with the rest of the ingredients and chilli flakes, colleagues couldn't be happier. They loved it.
Sweet potato leaf soup fared quite right as well. Nothing really special, but, let me say again, tasted quite right.To "woof-woof" down spiciness, we strawed up the sour amra juice and assam lime.
Usually I go for their dumplings soup. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Nava, my main reason of going for chili pan mee is its dried chili! I just love it. I would usually mix it with the noodles and the poached egg together. So you can imagine how my bowl of pan mee looks like when everything is mixed together. So yummy :)
ReplyDeleteAs far as I know potato leaves are toxic (a nightshade family) whereas sweet potato leaves are not. You mentioned potato leaves soup.
ReplyDeleteTodo se ve muy rico y la sopa con ají estupenda me encanta,hugs,hugs.
ReplyDeleteFood looks delicious. I got a kick out of the 'how to' sign.
ReplyDeleteHi Mr/Mrs anonymous,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your valuable feedback about the leaves. Maybe you can check at the website of the eatery whereby its stated as potato leaves
http://www.chillipanmee.com/2010/01/potato-leaves-soup-with-pork-balls/. I did read and true enough, the debate is about potato leaves and they can be poisonous. But I am really not sure about it.
I also appreciate if you can cite the link (any) which says that the potato leaves are poisonous. Also appreciate if you can sign and leave comment with your name rather than being anonymous. What's holding you?
Very delicious Nava, I can feel the heat of the chillies right here. but awesome I love spicy food...
ReplyDeleteHow to eat chili paste instruction really like that part Nava!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a mouthwatering spread. I would dump a huge spoonful of it in my soup, have tears but enjoy it. Do they bring the whole plastic box of spice to your table?? It's like my kinda food place..
ReplyDeleteI love spicy food too.. And the chili dipping sauce with noodles look mouth-watering.. And the fish fillets look yummy too Nava :-)
ReplyDeleteWow Nava!! Souns like a fun place!! The drinks look amazing......
ReplyDeleteFood looks great and it's always a joy to go through your pictures of different eating places in your part of the world.
ReplyDeleteI read the comment above regarding potato leaves. On the internet, I have come across sites that say that potato leaves are poisonous but in our region they are widely consumed. The tender leaves are usually made into bhajji.
my comfort food. the dry version is very interesting as it came along with runny egg!
ReplyDeleteWith fish head noodles too? I have always eaten only the pan mee. Time to check out the fish head noodle too!
