A friend recommended me this mee bandung that he said was really good. I just went to try it out yesterday (take-away), and it didn't disappoint.
There were two big prawns, and it cost RM6.
When I poured the noodles into the bowl, I moved the prawns up to the top, together with what I thought was a fishball. However, when I bit into the "fishball", I found it to be especially chewy. I was thinking, why would they put mochi/tang yuan into mee bandung? Then after taking a bite, I saw the yellow colour and realized that it was the egg yolk!
By the way, I searched mee bandung online to see what makes it mee bandung. There are two explanations, but I'll take the first one: it says that "bandung" is to mix two things together, so mee bandung comes from mixing noodles and egg, together with spices and chilli to make up the gravy. Similarly, this is where the name air bandung comes from, because it is sirap (red syrup) mixed with milk.
The previous mee bandung I had was in Port Dickson (more accurately Lukut). I remember that being very good too, but I can't really remember the taste.
The title of this post corresponds to the stall's name on Google Maps. However I am not sure whether it is the actual name of the stall, because when I went there, I didn't see any stall name at all! There was no menu either. After I ordered my mee bandung and sat down the wait, the pakcik there chatted a bit with me (it was rather early, before 6:30pm, and I was the only customer waiting for food, while others were eating or had just left). He was very proud of his stall, and when I told him that a friend had recommended this place, he said, "Yes, usually people will come, then next time bring their friends, then next time bring their family." (something like that lah, he mentioned suami (husband) instead of family) He said that they serve hokkien mee and char hor fun as well, although mee bandung was their main dish.
Similarly, my friend had told me that they sold other dishes, but that their mee bandung was the star! He said that the stall opens at around 4pm till 10pm, but if we go too late, the mee bandung may be sold out.
