Direct translations of “lou shi fun” (in Cantonese) would mean “rat noodles” simply because it resembles the tail of rats. Most lou shi fun is a little soft and would not be longer than 2 inches but somehow Yi Poh in Seremban seems to do it differently.

They are known for their long and tangy (just like spring) lou shi fun served in dry style. I was on my way to PD and thought would be nice to stop in Seremban for lunch, I head to Temiang and head to Yi Poh after reading about it on a few blogs.

I ordered the famous dry lou shi fun, their big wantan and a bowl of pig stomach’s soup. The dry lou shi fun is mixed with dark sauce topped with minced pork, spring onions and pieces of char siew (bbq pork) on it. I mixed them up and took it with their special spicy chili sauce and no joke, its really flaming spicy! The noodles are very chewy, tangy and takes a bit of effort to chew. Its as if they have little spring in each noodle and they are really long in size. The char siew is very dry to my liking, not sure if this is the local style. Its not bad, something special but I still prefer softer lou shi fun, hehe..but the price is ok RM3.70 for a big size bowl enough to feed two.

However, I really like their big wantan here, the wantan skin is really soft and the filling is very tasty! At 40 cents each, its reasonable. Don’t mind coming back for their wantan again .

The pork stomach’s soup is just ok, priced at RM2.70 for a small bowl. Taste is quite balance, not too spicy and yet tasty. But the pork stomach is a bit hard, I still prefer the one I had at Huen Kee where the pork stomach is still tender and soft .

Overall pricing here is good, food is not bad and quite special with the springy, tangy noodles but I still prefer the softer ones but really love their big wantan.

I remember mid last year, I went to the Seremban Wet Market for breakfast, I was there just before 8.30am, went to stall 787, which is famous for its meehoon sotong. As I am about to order, the lady as me to hold and she starts allocating to the previous order and told me that they have just sold out (at 8.30am!).

This time, I reached the market at about 9.00am and thinking I am too late for the meehoon sotong again but hey, I am in luck! They are still serving! I am really in luck because just after they served me, I can see them cleaning and closing up before 9.30am!

Its basically meehoon deep fried, then topped with sotong (cuttlefish), braised pork and vegetables then covered with a thick starchy sauce (just like wan tan hor). Its quite nice, in fact, the pork tasted a little sweet and chewy like beef. It cost RM3.30 per plate and the topping are quite generous.

Do remember to check out their coffee here, very good and kau and also the all famous dried beef noodles from stall 748 .

At the junction of Jalan Abd Hamid and Jalan Temiang in Seremban, at the corner of the row of food stalls along Jalan Temiang, you will see a yellow banner stating “wood fried koay teow” in Chinese. I was introduced to this place by Micol as she told me that its quite popular among the locals. It was about 10 plus almost 11pm then, there is no long queue but you can see the owner is frying non stop still and waiting time is about 5 minutes, not too bad.

A plate of the fried koay teow cooked with hot flaming wood fire cost RM3.00 per plate. Its a bit oily at first look, taste wise is alright but what makes this koay teow really nice are the clams (si hum) and good old crispy fried pork lards. The clams are not too raw, neither overcooked, just right. The koay teow is not too strong in taste but the pork lards make it just nice.

I don’t think this koay teow is for everyone, but for those whom like old school cooking, oily and crispy pork lards type, then this is the koay teow for you .
