Hand-cut flat or thin wheat noodles tossed with minced pork, crisp anchovies, a poached egg and a scoop of dried chilli flakes. Kuala Lumpur's dry version, eaten with a clear vegetable soup on the side.
Pan mee, board noodle, is a Hakka dish of hand-kneaded wheat dough torn or cut into noodles and served in anchovy broth. Kuala Lumpur added a dry variation that has become the city's own: noodles tossed with minced pork, fried anchovies and a runny poached egg, then stirred with fried chilli flakes that diners add to their own heat. Kin Kin, off Jalan Tuanku Abdul Rahman near Chow Kit, is the name most associated with it, and diners spoon on the dried chilli themselves, to taste. The soup comes separately.
