Noodle Shack

Citta Mall is probably one of the only shopping centres that is sort of outdoor based, which I don’t think it’s a good concept in Malaysia as it is too darn humid and hot here! However, during one of the days I managed to visit Noodle Shack for lunch, luckily they have air conditioning! Noodle Shack is one of those places that you get to have a quick meal (mostly noodle dishes).
I find this a great place as it serves nothing but noodles which is my preferred meals. I ordered their pan mee noodle soup meal which is simple and nice. This place may not be the best in terms of noodle dishes, but they are really convenient if you’re happen to be in Citta Mall and if you’re sick of fast foods (MacDonalds and etc.), this is definitely the place you should visit and besides that, their price is kind of reasonable as well couple with speedy services. This is definitely an ideal place for lunch.

I was just walking around Citta Mall one afternoon, looking for something to do. At that time, there weren’t any decent movies airing at the cinema and I had one too many McDonald’s that week.
And then my stomach growled a hunger call. And since, McDonald’s is out and it was at the end of month, my budget was less than RM15.
I didn’t realized that there was a Noodle Shack at Citta Mall until a staff approach me to give it a try. I decided to give it a try as it meets my budget.
Service was decent, with just about 4 staff serving, they do a good job as they had good chemistry and teamwork.
The food that Noodle Shack serve is many sorts of Pan Mee. The one I tried is the dry chilli pan mee.
It was just alright, be it under less than RM15, it is decent. Though I do not think it would make this as one of my regular pan mee store as there are better ones elsewhere.

Noodle Shack offers healthy no MSG meals which are rare to find in KL these days. The outlet also prides itself on serving food with Less salt and oil and no preservatives. The outlet at Citta Mall is usually packed during lunch and the staff are attentive.
I usually go for the hot and spicy pan mee — minced chicken served with anchovies and hand pulled noodles with a dollop of spicy sambal. The only let down for me is this place serves no pork. Their soup is all naturally flavoured and the portion is decent.
Drinks here are a little pricey but they serve chinese herbal tea as this is a health conscious food outlet.

Noodle Shack’s ban mee is appetising because they put ban mee with spinach, anchovies and others in the ban mee, which makes the ban mee more flavourful. Also, they have no included MSG in their soup which they boil with anchovies to give the soup the nice taste. The food is quite cheap and the ban mee comes out fast, so you don’t have to wait long. I usually order the original because I find it the best tasting.

The main reason why this restaurant is so nice is because of the soup. First of all, it’s free of any MSG. Second of all, the soup has this delicious flavour, maybe because they use so many ‘ikan bilis’ or in English, known as anchovies. Whenever I go there, I normally order the traditional Pan Mee. This restaurant is also pork-​free so whatever kind of pork there may be in your kind of Pan Mee, is no longer gonna be there. I highly recommend this restaurant (again, because there’s no MSG and preservatives plus, it’s tasty!).
