Uncle Seng's handmade noodles are unlike any other, which is why this neighbourhood favourite commands a constant crowd. The restaurant is a stone's throw away from colleges nearby and its tables fit four comfortably — mark it down for an after-class lunch with a few mates. If it's your first time here, try the Char Siew Wanton + Deep Fried Pork Noodles (RM8). The dish presents value with a trio of meaty toppings. Expect their famed, secret recipe-noodles to be slightly thick with a chewy, udon-like texture. These are made to taste bland, which allows their housemade chili sauce to shine in flavour. Lay on, or add this sauce sparingly (depending on your tolerance for heat), and mix it with the noodles thoroughly. The result is a transformed dish, finished with a subtly spicy kick.
