Hokkien mee is a Malaysian Chinese dish originating in Kuala Lumpur created by Fujian immigrants consisting of thick egg noodles, cooked in dark soy sauce, served with cabbage, pork belly strips, squid and pork lard.

The Hokkien mee at Oriental Pavilion is coated well with a thick sweet and savoury sauce, complete with pieces of high grade pork belly. The generous heap of pork lard (euphemistically called pork croutons) adds a crunchiness with the right balance of umami from the char caused by the "wok hei", a fierce wok fire. There are many restaurants in Kuala Lumpur that serve great versions of this dish, but few can compare to this. A little pricey, but you get what you pay for. Simply outstanding.
