Pontian Noodles 笨珍云吞面 , Subang Jaya

Founded in 1948 Pontian Noodles today has a few outlets in Johor (Johor Jaya, Century Garden, Sutera Utama to name a few), Klang Valley (SS2, Subang Jaya, Sungai Wang, Sri Petaling, Kepong & Wangsa Maju)  and also Singapore. With a rather impressive list of outlets I was curious as to what drew the crowd in, and so went to find the answer myself.

I went to the outlet at SS15 Subang Jaya and was indeed delighted to note that the place has proper air-conditioning which augurs well for today’s crazy hot weather. I would however mention that the chairs aren’t the most comfortable wooden ones you will find!

We browsed through the menu and noted that choices were rather limited. We ended up ordering a fresh orange juice (RM3.80) and a bowl of gingko barley (RM4).I was happy that they obliged when I ordered orange juice without ice…and I must say they did a good job with the orange juice – tasty yet not too sweet. The gingko foo chok barley was thick and had lots of foo chow. Somehow I did not really enjoy it as it was way tooooo sweet.

The bowl on the left depicts an ‘S’ size wanton noodle in black sauce (RM4.50). It was delicious and the portion is sufficient for a light meal. The one on the right is an ‘M’ size wanton noodle in tomato sauce. (RM5.50). Both bowls of noodles came with some green vege (choy sum), fried wanton and some char siew (found the char siew to be too thinly sliced) ….and oh yeah, a bowl of soup with 2 wantons in it……which by the way, was insufficient for a wanton eater like me.

Photos taken prior to eating-just look at the sides of the bowl-messy!

Hence we ordered a bowl of 10 wantons – RM4. These were edible but I believe the minced meat used to make these wantons have been frozen before….and I did not really like it.

We also ordered a plate of Cantonese fried kuay teow (RM5.90) – this had a generous serving of fish cake along with some prawns and squid. It tasted alright, but the kuay teow came in a huge lump making it difficult to eat.
