Ayam Bing Restaurant

Ayam Bing Restaurant


This is one coffee shop I patronized at least once a week. A small family business with a humble boss, Mr Bing. This shop only sells chicken rice, noodles and a selection of  Chinese style meat roast (chicken, pork), pei pa chicken (roasted chicken with honey glazed and garnished with generous amount of roasted sesame seeds) and braised duck. What impresses me the most in this shop is that the boss, Mr Bing will do all the meat cutting ensuring that each piece is cut to perfection and I can see the sincerity of the boss in providing good foods to his customer with good quality control. Unlike many chicken rice shop in Kuala Lumpur, the stalls are not managed by their own boss but usually by foreigners. (not being racist, I just feel if the boss is passionate enough, he will be there doing the job, to make sure his quality top the list.)

This shop sells pretty reasonable price and they are usually off by 4pm.


The selection of roasted meats available for customers.

Usually, I will only go for my Wan tan noodles. The main ingredient for making this noodle would be chicken eggs but best with duck eggs. Usually a good wan tan noodle should consist of at least 70 % of eggs and 30 % flour and miscellaneous ingredients. Why 70 % eggs? The eggs actually gives the noodles a slight chewy texture (the chinese always said the chewy texture should give you the bouncy feeling when you are chewing the noodles) and add the egg flavour and fragrant to it. The whole noodle mixture has to go through a series of pressure rolling to further add on the chewy texture in the noodles. So how would it look like when it is cooked??

Wan Tan Noodles (dried version) with meat dumplings

This chewy noodles can be dropped into soup or cooked and served dried like the above. The noodles will be toss with black sauce, soy sauce, pepper, sesame oil, some shop will also put pork oil (not in this shop) when it is hot. Then, it will be served with roasted sweet pork usually unless client wants a special request by changing the meat choice to roasted pork, chicken or duck. The original of wan tan noodles was served with  the roasted sweet pork and meat dumplings. 

The meat dumplings has many variation. Originally, this meat dumplings were made with seasoned prawns and pork but now there are many shops selling dumplings with only seasoned meat fillings. 

This shop actually cooks one of the more acceptable dried wan tan noodles as compared to many many other hawker stalls. The noodles were cooked to my liking (i like it to be abit more bouncy and chewy) and the dried sauce was yummy. The meat dumplings are just as normal as i could find anywhere but I have to admit they indeed do a better job as to many other shops outside. 


Chicken gizzards

Oh well, this is what many of us eat. Chicken gizzards which sometimes scares off many of my western friends. They are some form of tidbits we enjoy along with the chicken rice and wan tan noodles. It is normally cleaned, boiled and cut into strips and dung into the chicken rice chilli sauce before we eat them.
Pretty interesting, I strongly encourage westerners to try them out, they are not that bad after all.

** I seldom eat the chicken rice however the chicken rice always sells faster as compared to the noodles. Give it a try chicken rice lovers.

A good shop to chill with family on a weekend, not very pricey yet provides you good quality food.
