Famous Ngau Kee Beef Noodles is a simple stall setup in front of a dilapidated row of what looks like pre-war shop houses in the middle of KL. It’s supposed to have really good beef noodles and I like eating things that go moo. The roadside stall was packed with people and double parked cars, which is always a good sign.
I know it’s famous because the signboard says so. 😉
Famous Ngau Kee Beef Noodles invented the concept of “open kitchen” before it became the in thing for trendy restaurants. They probably coined the freaking word. Pioneers, they are. The stall also has the time-honored tradition of only offering five (5) different types of drinks. You’ll be spoilt for choice! 😉
Ngau Kee Beef Noodles is famous for it’s beef noodles – some of us went for the Mixed Beef with Dry Noodles (RM 6) while the others went for the Mixed Beef Soup Noodles (RM 6). It’s basically the same thing, except the beef balls and tripe is served on the side with clear soup for the dry version while the soup edition has everything in a bowl with a heartier broth. This is the flagship dish of the stall. You can add 10 beef balls for RM 6 or 10 pork balls for RM 10. Okay, that didn’t sound quite right, but I meant the side dishes.
It’s so good PJ people have been known to drive down to eat the beef noodles!
The best thing about the stall is their patented (well, not really, but it must be the recipe of the grandma or something like that) chilli sauce. Best ever.
Famous Ngau Kee Beef Noodles is located along Tingkat Tong Shin. It’s close to Jalan Alor, and you can’t miss the huge neon cow (bull?) on the stall. While the stall would not be winning awards for hygiene standards or interior design anytime soon, you just can’t beat the fabulous beef noodles there.

Though I must say the soup is full of beef flavour, I prefer my beef noodles clear soupy type with loadsa beef, tripes, etc.

Beef noodle in soup or dry is most popular food in Taiwan. I miss seeing their yearly beef noodle festival held in taipei. Price is very reasonble. I like getting in night market along with other things.
Oh Gosh!!! I was there 2 days ago before i’ve visited Pavilion…..been there multiple times…and the owned-recipe-blended-chili is the best…comparable to my homemade from my Mum…
Jus: Haha! I didn’t say anything la. I was very busy with work yesterday.
Vickie: Yeah, Taiwan beef noodles are the best. I’ve had them in Malaysia, in places operated by Taiwanese nationals. 🙂
cwee: Indeed! I’m in love with the char kueh tiaw opposite where I work. Extra pedas really means extra pedas to them. Got kick one, enough oomph. 😉

I must say, this stall is really over hyped. Yes, we drove all the way from PJ to taste this so-called famous beef noodles. To say it’s one of the best does not do justice to the cow and the noodles. The soup is tasteless and doesn’t even have a hint of beef stock. The dry noodles was so so…again, not the slightest hint of beef taste..just..plain salty. With the mediocre portions of beef, I’m surprised that there are still so many people flocking to this place. Ermm..Herd (cow) mentality , I presume. This place probably may have been good donkey years ago, but I’ll be ashamed to recommend friends to it ever.

Kelly Ling: Hmm…I liked it though but then again I might have gone on a “good day” and you might have gone on a “bad day”. There are certain places I like just coz of the nostalgia factor (not this – a place in Sibu which has degraded since their famous kampua noodles but I still love the ambiance) so maybe that’s why people still go there. 🙂
