Saw Noodle House

Although this place is in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, it is off the beaten track and probably needs a GPS to pinpoint it's location (this is due to the fact that it isn't on an official road and there is another similar outlet). Anyway, the picture of the place ...
Anyway, the important bits ... this place basically serves pan mee noodles in various forms as well as sui-kow, both fried and soup type. We ordered almost all types of noodles, the first that arrived was the "original" pan mee and immediately followed by the lum-mee.
Next was the fried and soup siew-kow. These are well cooked but I will comment on the overall at the end of all the pictures.
Then these were quickly followed by the soft shell crabs (really yummy and was wiped off the table the fastest), the hokkien char meehoon and curry meehoon (the only noodles available in the shop that's not of the pan-mee type). Oh, I forgot to mention, they also provide us with this very potent chopped chillies ...
I love pan mee, but somehow, the two noodles made of pan mee was my least favourite here. I would highly recommend 2 items here, the curry noodles (one of the best I have tried in KL) and the soft shell crabs (well, they are always good no matter where I have them). The siow-kow are average and the hokkien mee (the black noodle type, not the penang hokkien mee) is slightly better than average only.
Ok, where is this place? Let me try to give a description. Driving along Jalan Ipoh, going towards the North, you will come to a Petronas station on the left which is opposite lots of bridal shops. Take the 2nd left turning after the Petronas station and drive across the monsoon drain (or was it a river?) into a housing estate. Drive straight until the tarred road ends. You will still notice that there is a road after that which is un-surfaced. Drive along that and you will pass a restaurant on your right, it's not this one. Go further about 50 meters or so, you will see the restaurant on your right.
Address: Somewhere off Batu 11, Jalan Ipoh
