Mee Tarik - Chinese Muslim Food

Let me put it this way; the moment this eatery open its doors to the public just over a month ago, it was quickly flooded with customers. And that goes on for a few more weeks before I even dared to set foot inside the new establishment. One of the main factors might be that it was located at a very strategic place (they’re right in the middle of the Fajar Complex, on the same building as the Big Apple Donuts & Coffee branch & visible from one of two round-a-bouts within the area). And I’m not too sure whether this is a branch of the ones that are available in KK but they do have Mainland Chinese originated cooks in charge of their kitchen (and ‘mee tarik’).

Me and my family had visited the place twice now and the first time we were there, they only have the Chicken/ Beef Soup Ramen available for ordering (as the crowd was still a bit too much for the kitchen staff to handle at said time). It was disappointing but nevertheless we went ahead with our second visit recently and thankfully their other menu has finally been fully offered (well, maybe 95% of it as a few of the items were still not available). We were initially confused with their menu as everything seems to be paired up with beef, but after a quick chat with the barely there waitresses, we discovered that you actually have the option to change the latter with other ingredients such as chicken, lamb and seafood. So we tried their Lan Zhou Fried Rice, Thai Style Fried Rice, Braised Chicken Rice, Fried Potato & Chicken with Noodles and Mushroom Chicken with Rice. The overall tastes of the aforementioned dishes were quite good but what was amusing about them was that almost all of it used the same style (and sauce?) of cooking so it looked and tasted similar to one another.

** Current status – Has moved to a new location, right next to Monaco Hotel (as of April 2022)
