Ming Chung Restaurant

Have not been to this restaurant for a long time. Since both myself and partner were in Jalan Bersar area might as well try the dishes.Since it's a weekend we expected the queue to be snaking long and in for a long wait. But to our surprised the waiting time was much shorter. We were lead to our seat which was whatever available seat. We may share the table with complete strangers or at the same table may have another 2 couples or another family having dinner together.We ordered our favourite the lor mee and fried bee hoon. Well I should say that the standard had slide quite a bit. The starchy feel lor mee was not there. Feels very watery instead. The fried bee hoon was just too salty. But overall the service standard remains.

Craving for Pu Tien version of Bee Hoon and Lor Mee, so skip down to the very packed Ming Chung for dinner. It was very very packed indeed. But nevertheless The bee hoon and especially the Lor Mee was worth the wait. What is so great about these dishes, hmm well... not the dishes that was good per se, but the chili and the vinegar that accompanies the dishes was fantastic. No no I am not saying that the dishes are so bad that they need chili and vinegar to mask the taste but I what I am saying is the the dishes were great but the chili and vinegar was a perfect compliment to the bee hoon and Lor mee! I love it! Will be back to carbo load. Ayeee I cant lay off the carbo.. getting rounder and rounder every day. While the lor mee and bee hoon was good, the yee mee was disappointing. So please do not order this! Save the calories and the carbo!

It is my first time trying the white Lor Mee. And this is the must try item in this place.

A very old school environment which gave people a very homey feeling while dine in. Their Lor met are made of flavourful broth top with many different ingredient which is resh clams, fresh prawn, pork slice, special tao pok, veggie, and others and the not forgetting the main ingredient, lor mee.

Other than that, fried lala is one of their signature dish where you can see every table will have it. I love how they cook the lala, where they still remain the freshness of the lala and never overcooked or covered them with other flavor.

Try to be there early to avoid disappointment. It can be very very crowded and we always have to share table with others just to have the food!

Whenever i think of fried prawns, i'll think of this restaurant. Actually on the shopfront, this restaurant looks just like a normal looking eating house (or kopitiam), but dont be deceived by its looks. They served traditional authentic lor mee here. While scooping the lor mee into the smaller bowl, i can already smell the rich fragrance of the starchy soup base. There is also some 'lala' inside the lor mee. It adds an unique taste to the original taste of lor mee. Also, the fried prawns are a must-try dish here too. The dish comes along with a sweet sauce & chili sauce. Once u start having one, u'll be tempted to have more!

A secret haven tucked in the mist of Jalan Besar...Ming Chung bears a history along the lane of memory. With at least 20 years of history under its belt, it is now in the hands of the beloved sons of the creator and owner.

Serving and promising authentic Hing Hwa food has always been the chart and benchmark of Ming Chung. Hing Hwa is actually a dialect group of settlers, similar to Cantonese and Hokkien clan that happen to reside mostly in Jalan Besar area thus creating the stronghold within the vicinity.

The usual build up of crowds during dinner time is the norm and all diners must persevere to last on the waiting list in order to land the mouth on Hing Hwa food. The must have dish is definitely the ever popular Lor Mee and the Fried Prawns and for someone who are more seafood savvy, you may wish to order their Stir Fired LaLa (Clams) and also the masterful Fried Lor Mee.

My advice to all, bash through the menu and you will always find something that you have always wish for!!!

Thumbs up!
