#1 – Face To Face Noodle House 面对面 (Pudu)
Introduction:
Face to Face Noodle House is more than meets the eye. It’s heritage and history of how it came to be goes back to about a century ago inspired by Jook Sing noodles made by their founder’s great grandfather.
In 1903, their founder’s great grandfather left China to Hong Kong and acquired the art of making Jook Sing noodles; one of the rarest forms of noodle making. It’s a technique whereby the noodles were made from mixing eggs, flour and other ingredients together by hand and then riding a bamboo log to knead the dough to produce chewy, springy noodles. Bringing that knowledge and expertise with him, he opened his own noodle shop and pioneered the well known and loved Kolok Mee when he decided to settle in Dalat Oya, Sarawak in Malaysia.
With the vision of bringing authentic and high quality Sarawak noodles to the masses, they believe in not only creating good food but having sincere “face to face” connections with customers. This was how the name of their business came to be.
As the business expands to accommodate a variety of customer’s tastes, they have diversified their menu to include various interpretations of the Kolok Mee and Pan Mee. Each dish is complemented with different types of hand made sauces, chilli and sambal. Thanks to the positive word-of-mouth from satisfied customers, they managed to expand to 30 outlets across 7 states in Malaysia and a presence in Taipei, Taiwan. With a culinary heritage of over 100 years, enhanced by a contemporary twist, you could say this is merely a taste of better things to come.
