Craving a piping hot bowl of noodles? You’re not alone. Thankfully, hidden away on Old Klang Road in KL is Uncle Keong Noodle Stall, a beloved roadside spot that has been serving authentic, no-fuss noodles for over 40 years.

Its location, removed from the hustle and bustle of the city, offers a quiet and serene dining experience. This quaint, open-air stall, run by a dedicated husband-and-wife duo, offers more than just a meal—it provides a nostalgic taste of simplicity and comfort that keeps locals coming back.

The elderly couple who run the stall are well-known in the area for their mastery in preparing classic noodle dishes like wantan mee, prawn mee, yi mein, and their famed curry mee—a dish eagerly awaited by regulars and available only on certain days.

Over the decades, the stall has attracted a loyal crowd, particularly retirees who have long known about this hidden gem.

If you see a crowd of aunties and uncles patiently waiting for their noodles, you know you’re in the right place.

Uncle Keong’s no-frills approach is exactly what keeps people coming back year after year. Their consistently delicious bowls have earned them a solid 4.1-star rating on Google, with close to 600 reviews to date praising the quality, taste, and affordable prices.

Each dish is satisfying in its own right, offering the kind of comfort food that warms the soul. While the curry mee is a fan favourite, you can’t go wrong with their prawn mee or wantan mee either.

One of the highlights of this stall is the option to choose between small, medium, or large portions. Prices are wallet-friendly, with a small bowl starting at just RM7.50, and a large at RM8.50—remarkably affordable for the quality and portion sizes offered.

To make your meal even more satisfying, you can indulge in their yong tau foo selection. These crispy, savoury sides include fried pork wontons, seafood rolls, sui kow (dumplings), and fuchuk. Each item is fried to a golden crisp and packed with well seasoned fillings.

Simply select your favourites from the tray, and the Aunty will serve them alongside your noodles. These crispy delights perfectly complement your noodle dish, especially when dipped into the stall’s rich broths or sauces, adding an extra layer of texture and depth to your meal.

No visit to Uncle Keong Noodle Stall is truly complete without sampling their yong tau foo selection, so don’t miss out.
