Discover Prince Noodles: KL-Style Handmade Ban Mian at Lavender

Introducing Prince Noodles

Located in the bustling Lavender district, Prince Noodles has quickly captured the hearts of noodle lovers, especially those who enjoy hand-pulled noodles like ban mian and mee hoon kueh. This spot stands out with its fresh, delicious bowls of noodles prepared in the KL Malaysian style, referred to locally as pan mee.

As you step into the eatery, you'll have the unique opportunity to witness the traditional hand-pulling noodle process right before your eyes. This not only adds an exciting element to your dining experience but also ensures that each bowl of noodles is served fresh and hot.

A Simple Yet Enticing Menu

The menu at Prince Noodles is straightforward, making it easy for you to choose. You can opt for either soup noodles or dry noodles, followed by your choice of ban mian, you mian, or mee hoon kueh. Their signature dish, the Prince Noodles Dry Noodles, starts at S$5.50 for a small size and S$6.50 for a large. You can also add toppings like Onsen egg or Taiwanese meatballs for just S$1 each.

The ban mian here is beautifully garnished with seasoned minced meat, crispy anchovies, and tender spinach, creating a truly memorable culinary experience. Although the minced meat can be a bit dry, when paired with the signature sauce, the flavors become rich and aromatic.

Highlights of Each Noodle Dish

The standout feature of the ban mian is its elasticity and crunchiness. The noodles are quite chewy, and when you lift them with chopsticks, they never fall apart. Paired with their homemade chili sauce, the dish becomes irresistible, boasting a strong garlic flavor without being overwhelming.

Additionally, the Signature Prince Soup Noodles are worth trying, featuring the same toppings as the dry noodles. However, the difference lies in the light and clear broth that enhances the flavors of the anchovies and seasoned minced meat.

Review of the Dumplings

At Prince Noodles, you can also indulge in some delightful dumplings. I ordered a plate of Chives & Pork Dumplings for S$5, which comes with 10 pieces. They were quite impressive! The dumplings were generously filled with minced pork and chives, delivering a distinctive flavor and surprisingly juicy texture.
