KUALA LUMPUR, April 19 I admit I am a noodle head. Whenever I hear of handmade noodles, I must give them a try.
I had stumbled upon New Ban Lee Restaurant via someone s social media account. What they excel in is making handmade noodles known as
sang mee. Similar to udon, the strands are thicker with a little more bite. The texture has a slight bounce, thanks to manipulating the dough rather than more artificial additives.
NIBONG TEBAL: A bean curd skin (foo chuk) factory that has been operating illegally at Sungai Jawi here for around four decades was raided by Health Department investigators, who were shocked at what they found.
After they gained entry yesterday, the place was not only swarming with flies, but the carcass of a dead kitten was also found lying mere metres from where workers prepared foo chuk for drying.
When Penang Health Department environmental health, food safety and quality officer Mohd Wazir Khalid asked a worker why the carcass was left unattended, she answered that “the kitten just died there” and they were “too busy to remove it”.
