Pork Noodles, Street Food, Non-Halal
Chiefeater VK and I were first here some 20 years ago (near the office then). I’m
not sure if Peter has the ‘best’ pork noodles, but I’d confidently say they’ve been consistently good for over 2 decades. Where they are now i.e Money’s Corner wasn’t where the old man first started shop – it was the block of shops where Sri Paandi is today. There was a slight dip in quality (for those of us frequenting this stalwart >1x per month) when the old man himself passed on the business to his pupils, but I think it’s almost (now) as good as it ever was in the early 2000s.
Over the years, I’ve heard of many new pork noodle upstarts including the latest Omega (which is also good, but a tad sweet for me). But again, when it comes to consistency, and a predictable experience, Peter’s Pork Noodle rates higher.

Pork noodles is unique to Malaysia. In fact there are 2 variants: pork noodles and pork ball noodles – the strap of squarish (yummy!) delicious meat balls- I’ve lost touch but it was ~20 years ago when I had the famous pork noodles at the Imbi coffeeshop near/ opposite Overseas Restaurant. In fact, I might revisit that category (pork ball noodles) next. Both versions the go-to noodle type = rat tails or loh shee fun, regardless dry or soup versions. Again, my personal preference – just like we’d associate yellow noodles with curry mee? Maybe someone could confirm this for me; I’ve travelled far and wide to sample an equivalent. Sure other countries have their version of pork soup, noodles, but nothing comes close to our/ this version.
A bowl at Peter’s Pork Noodle sets you back RM9 to RM10 but I always tend to add extra meat, so about RM13 tops. Today we went as a family. 8 pax and paid RM112 for 8 bowls. The memories, priceless (wasn’t that Visa or Mastercard?). Just like your regular go-to tai chows, Peter Pork defines Malaysian hawker fare for me. It’s right up there with Char Kuey Teow. I believe pork noodles was a category I first talked to Chiefeater VK about 2 decades ago, but ironically he’s sampled (way) more versions than I ever did.
To you pork noodle aficionados out there pls comment and share where you think is ‘best’ out there.. stay Epicurious.
