Qian Qian Little Kitchen (New Location) @ Pandan Indah

I have my sister-in-law to thank for telling us that she ate at a new place called Qian Qian Little Kitchen @ Pandan Indah (though she didn't think much of the food).  But little did she know that we've been patronising the shop regularly since 2016.

This is their new location but we weren't aware that they actually relocated to another address in Pandan Indah (coz when we googled it showed us that they were in a different location).  Although it would have been just a matter of time before we'd eventually bump into them again since they're still in our neighbourhood.

Anyway, to cut a long story short, we were 'reunited'.  I did ask the lady boss why the address on Google Maps showed a different location and she said it was her mistake as she left out the word 'Indah' in the street address...oops! >_<

They're essentially a pan mee specialist with some side dishes to complement their main noodles.  They also introduced nasi lemak when they were at their old location.  This time, I noticed they've got a brand new item on their menu they all Creamy Egg Pan Mee @ RM8.90.  It's basically like Cantonese fried noodles in egg gravy (otherwise known as wat tan hor or Kong Foo Chow).  The only difference is that they use pan mee as its noodles.

The dish comes with prawns, slices of lean pork and fish cake (the same fish cake that you can order as a side dish) with vegetables of choy sum and carrot before being topped with a sprinkling of freshly fried shallots.

The noodles are pre-fried into round discs (much like they do with meehoon or sang meen) and the sauce is then poured over it.  I actually liked the fried pan mee noodles as they were light and rather crispy though the gravy could be better tasting but I still enjoyed the noodles nonetheless.  It's now my favourite order here.

There's also the Spicy Creamy Egg Pan Mee @ RM9.90 for those who like a spicy version (something like ma lat pan mee).  It came with the exact same crispy noodles and ingredients as the Creamy Egg Pan Mee...just a lot spicier!

The lady owner confirmed that the original version is very spicy, so I asked for the spiciness to be toned down but it was still too spicy for me! >.<  I think I better stay clear of this one.

I've eaten most of their side dishes which I covered in detail in my two previous posts.  But for old times' sake, here are some of them again.


Fried Fish Cake @ RM6 - somehow I like this light version.

Fried Beancurd Sheet @ RM4.50 (for 5 pcs) - this one can skip.


Fried Wantan @ RM2 (for 3 pcs), portion shown here is RM6 - just something crispy.

The Fried Luncheon Meat @ RM6 (RM1.50 per piece) is always a good order no matter what and theirs is of a good and fragrant quality.

Their Salted Pork @ RM7.90 or fried nam yue (fermented beancurd) pork has obviously seen an improvement in taste over time.

Otak-Otak @ RM5 (for 5 pcs) - order this

Spiced Chicken @ RM4.50 (this one is new, I think).  It's like lor bak, the filling is just passable but, at least, it was freshly fried with a crisp skin.

My default drink order here (since I 'discovered' it) is always the Iced White Coffee @ RM3.50 as it's one of the better-tasting ones I've had even though they used store-bought all-in-one types, so the sweetness can't be tweaked.  If I had a choice, I would have preferred it less sweet.  My other choice would be the Teh Ais (Iced Tea).

My Personal Opinion

For those who are not into noodles, you can have their nasi lemak with either luncheon meat or fried chicken (go for the luncheon meat). ^_~  For a Chinese-style nasi lemak, they do justice to the sambal (but a little on the salty side).  The thing they need to improve is the always the over-fried egg.

Still a regular spot for our family weekday dinners even though we don't fancy their pan mee all that much. It's always for the nasi lemak and side dishes...and now the Creamy Egg Pan Mee for me. ^o^

    1. When I saw it on the menu, I was skeptical too that pan mee can be cooked this way...but they did and I like it :)

  2. I think having your address correct on Google Maps is a pretty big deal these days. A restaurant could possibly lose quite a few clients if not correct.

    1. Indeed...many of us refer to Google for addresses.

  3. Creamy Egg Pan Mee sounds tempting for egg lovers like us - the look of it kinda reminds me of sang har meen but without the sang har :) just realised that spicy sang har meen would be an interesting variation :D

    1. I'm not for sang har meen to be made spicy as it would take away the fresh taste of the super expensive sang har! ;P

  4. The crispy pan mee looks like those thick Yee Mee, are you sure it is Pan Mee? LOL

    1. Oh, I'm sure...as the texture and taste is different from yee mee. But if you're still not convinced, you can go to their FB and check out the video on how they fry the pan mee into round crispy discs of noodles! ;)
