Yummylicious Muah Chee & Shin Kee Beef Noodles @ KL Downtown! šŸ˜‹

in Foodies Bee Hive ā€¢ 2 years ago (edited)

Continuing from my unexpected sightseeing trip at Kuala Lumpur downtown last weekend, I managed to drop by a few foodie spots. Here's me jotting down a few simple-affordable-down-to-earth-food gems šŸ’Ž in town!

ChinaTown Machi POPO Stall / Madam Tang Muah Chee Queen Stall


While walking and exploring the stalls in Petaling Street, I saw this!


Yes! I was craving for muah-chee! šŸ’— It's been a while since I last had it.

Muah-Chee is the Chinese version of 'mochi'. It is a glutinous rice snack is coated with peanuts and sugar.

Last time, they used to only have the original flavour, which is the plain glutinous flavour. Then slowly, more muah-chee stores added different flavours like black sesame, mango, lychee, pandan, Ribena to cater for different consumer palates. I've seen other stores selling orange flavour muah chee too.

Me and my friend ordered a mixed flavour of original + black sesame, which costs RM6.

This soft, chewy and gooey rice dough is cut into small pieces and coated with finely chopped peanuts and sugar. Such simple ingredients yet a delicious snack!

So chewy and yummy to my tummy! Definitely a sweet snack to have at any time of the day. Love it! šŸ˜‹

If you're craving for muah-chee, you can visit Madam Tang Muah Chee Queen's stall @ Petaling Street:

2. Sin Kiew Yee Shin Kee Beef Noodles ę–°ä¹å¦‚ę–°č®°ē‰›č‚‰ē²‰

After walking for about 50m from Petaling Street, we reached this place called Shin Kee Beef Noodles. I've heard many good reviews about this place. It's finally my turn to be there! šŸŽ‰


This shop has limited seating space. If you're coming in small groups, you're likely to share tables with strangers. We were there as early as 10.40am (business opened at 10.30am), and it already has a queue! But thank God, we didn't wait for long. We're in after 10 mins wait.


Apparently, the shop has been around since the 1930s and the owner's original Hakka beef noodle recipe is still being preserved by the current third-generation owners.


The menu.

i) Beef noodles "format":

  • Soup Noodles / Dry Noodles (noodles and soup served separately)

ii) Ingredients to have in your beef soup:

  • Fresh Beef Slices / Beef Balls / Fresh Beef Slices + Beef Balls / Beef Mix (a mix of beef innards, fresh beef slices and beef balls)

iii) Type of noodles:

  • Meehoon (rice vermicelli) / Hakka Mee (looks like yellow noodles) / Horfun (flat rice noodles)

iv) Price:

  • Size - Small (RM10) / Big (RM12)


I ordered a set of dry Hakka noodles, with Beef slices + Beef balls in soup, which costs RM10.


This shop's Hakka noodles are slightly different from the usual Hakka noodles stall in a regular chinese food court. This Hakka noodles looked exactly like yellow noodles but doesn't have that annoying alkaline taste, which I super dislike!

The noodles were topped with a generous amount of minced beef and dark soy sauce mixture. Very savoury and packed with flavours! Lightly toss the noodles and minced beef together, and put one mouthful in, you'll definitely want more. Om nom nom! šŸ˜‹


Meanwhile, the accompanying clear beef soup has a sweet and light beefy flavour, which I like! I finished the whole bowl of soup till the last drop! šŸ˜‚.

The beef balls are bouncy, nice to bite (not as hard as the usual pork balls) and have a decent beefy taste in them.

I also particularly love the tender raw beef slices. So soft. I love everything in the soup! The ingredients are not overpowering each other, but together, they make a really good, down-to-earth and yummylicious meal.

O to the M to the G. How can I miss this after they've opened for almost a century here?! šŸ˜± I will definitely come again! This has officially been added to my favourite food list. šŸ˜

If you're craving for a good bowl of beef noodles, you NEED to try this!

How does muah-chee taste like? Is it similar tu kuih koci?

Yup yup, something like kuih koci, tapi dalam dia takde isi šŸ˜‚. It is plain in itself, so the peanut and sugar at the outer layer help to sweeten the overall taste. :D

Owh, takde isi. I think I can imagine the taste of Muah Chee with the peanut and sugar šŸ˜šŸ˜

Might give it a taste when I go to Petaling Street one of these day

Haha yes! If you like eating a sweet chewy glutinous snack, you probably might like this too. Thanks for dropping by @rosmadirazali! šŸ˜„
