Backdated to 09/11/07 - Seremban Beef Noodle @ Pasar Besah Seremban

We found the Pasar Besar Seremban finally after turning off the N-S highway. Don’t turn into “Seremban 2” which is the new town, you want to get into “Seremban” – the old town. We finally found the original Seremban Beef Noodle with the old man (original hawker) sitting in front of it. (3rd pic) We also tried the other Seremban Beef Noodle ran by Mr. Sing Kon Cheng.(Last pic)

After comparing the two beef noodles at 2.30pm in the afternoon, we found the one by Mr. Sing to be tastier. His noodle is chewier, his beef, sauce (which has the right amount of salt in it while the former one was sweeter) and soup are more flavorful, the cooked tripe just melts in your mouth!

FYI: Seremban beef noodles come with kiam chye and peanuts.

Mr. Sing told me that he took over his father’s biz which is now more then 60 years. He said he doesn’t advertise as a result he is less well known unlike others. He also proudly showed me the table that customers use that is over 33 years old. I asked him why doesn’t he open up a stall in Singapore to compete with Mr. Wong’s seremban beef noodle? His reply was it is hard to find someone who can cook and maintain the same standard or QC!

Chin sayang.
