Interesting Specials And Noodles

Who would have thought that one of the best Lou Shi Fun in town could be found in a mamak restaurant? Blogger wyejon finds out more.


Roti Hawaii

RESTORAN Sri Murni in SS2, Petaling Jaya needs no introduction, writes blogger wyejon of Wantan Productions.

Wyejon says: “It is the most crowded establishment in the whole of SS2 and it is one of the most interesting mamak places around.

“First of all this place is run by a Chinese guy. Secondly, they have a great variety of roti that you may not find elsewhere. Thirdly, they have some great ‘Special’ drinks that I really enjoy. And they have delicious Claypot Lou Shi Fun.

“Sri Murni is famous for its array of roti but the most popular one is probably the Roti Hawaii. It looks like a murtabak from the outside but the filling is different. It is loaded with chicken, sausages and egg plus a generous dose of mayonnaise squeezed on top of the roti in the shape of a spider web.

“If there’s one problem with the Roti Hawaii, it is that it does not go well with curry. It would be nice if they had pictures of all their different roti with a little explanation on what goes inside. It would make ordering them a little easier.

“On the subject of roti, you could also try their naan which is served with curry and condensed milk.

“Sri Murni is also known for their ‘Special’ drinks which are actually fruit juices. There’s also the Ribena Special with lots of nata de coco, longan, watermelon and some other fruits.

“The fruit juices are usually quite thick. In fact the texture is more like fruit puree or ice blended fruit drink. These drinks are fruity goodness with lots of chewy bits to keep you occupied.


Claypot Lou Shi Fun

“Of all places to find good Claypot Lou Shi Fun one would hardly expect to find it in a mamak shop but Sri Murni’s Lou Shi Fun is one of the best around. Mix the egg with the noodles before it cooks and you will get a thick and flavourful bowl of noodles.

“If you are the sort who likes spicy food, then make sure you eat it with the sambal provided as it is guaranteed to give you an added kick.”
