Suddenly Lala @ Ming Kee Seafood Noodle, Damansara Uptown

Haiz! When someone wrote about clams, she made me crave for clams. And then she had to write about Tasty La La Noodles.

And this happened.

hah..hah..hah...

Well, I found myself at Ming Kee Seafood Noodle.

This place is new, located one shop away from the famous Damansara Uptown Hokkien Mee (opposite Imazium which is annexed to The Starling).

I read about it here and I thought why not check it out.

The menu is simple, pretty much lala noodles in three variation - Hua Diao (Chinese wine), cheese (ughs! not for me!) and tom yum.

Honestly, I cannot imagine cheese in lala noodles. 

Besides noodles, they also serve Kam Heong Tiger Prawns and Kam Heong Lala.

The interior in small, neat and clinical. Ordering is by way of order chits.

On every table, you will find this little tong sampah lined with a small black bag to discard the lala shells.

My order was the Hua Diao Tiger Prawn Lala. I mean, why not add the prawns, eh? I also got me a bottle of Herbal Tea.

Ah! Does this not look beautiful? I took a tentative taste of the broth and yes, I loved it. It was very bold with the robust taste and aroma of the hua diao wine and ginger. I love me lots of ginger in soups.

I am very hopeless in handling prawns in situations like this. How do you do it, ah? 

I removed the prawns to a separate bowl and took care of the lala and noodles first. The noodles that they use here is something like tang hoon but it seems to have a coarser/firmer texture.

Wah, nice lah! You must be careful with the bits of chili padi in the soup. There is also one more thing you must watch out for your safety.

Broken shards of shell - very deadly if you accidentally swallow it. In fact careful as I was, I got one piece stuck in my throat. Luckily I was able to dislodge it after coughing several times. Scary!

I found many broken shells in the soup. So diner beware!

I managed the prawns using my teeth (hah..hah..) and fingers. Quite messy and perhaps next time I forget about the prawns. As you can see, I don't go out of my way to eat lala because at the end of the day, it is mostly shells and so little flesh. 

I think this is enough carbs for the month and well worth it.
