| | I believe most of you (esp KL-lites) have tried the famous claypot loh shue fun (rat's noodle translated literally) at Chue Chong Kai (Chinatown), or heard of it at least. For those who are asking "what the heck is loh shue fun?!", well it is actually a type of rice noodle. I believe it is called rat's noodle in Cantonese because its shape resembles a rat's tail *don't quote me please*  .
Usually, I wouldn't really drive down to Chinatown (hey it rhymes) just for the claypot loh shue fun, due to the notorious traffic congestion downtown, and the difficulty of finding parking space. But that night was a special occassion, as Ning, Glenna and David were here for a 3-days-holiday (hey it rhymes again). Before that night, the last time I had the loh shue fun was back in 2000 or 2001! 
At first, I was pretty worried too, as I'm afraid that those 3 Aussies will find the hawker stall too dirty for their liking. But to my surprise, Seng Kee has their own shoplot, with spanking new tables, chairs and bright interior.  Their cooking is still being done on the corridor and the front of their old shoplot (that appears really rundown) though. So cleanliness is no longer an issue, but I'm also worried they won't really find the food there nice. But the fear soon disappeared, as the food arrived on our table. 
For the 5 of us, I ordered a claypot loh shue fun, a fried rice, Kangkung belacan (ma lai chan ong choy/ water spinach), and some Hakka yong tau foo. Apparently they are also famous for their Crispy Fried Pork, but I didn't know bout it then.
 
The claypot loh shue fun is still as good as I first tried it years ago. Their signature dark colour comes from the thick soy sauce used, and comes with a generous amount of minced pork meat, some prawns, pig livers, and topped with a raw egg.

The Hakka yong tau foo is quite yummy too, slightly different from the Ampang-style that I've reviewed earlier, as these ones come with thick-dark-sweet-sauce. The fried rice is ok, not unlike those usual ones you can get from Hokkien-noodle stalls.

The total bill for that 5-person-meal was about RM52, not bad for the amount and the quality of the food. So yea, Good food, reasonable price, clean eating area, and clean toilet too (according to Ning and Glenna, who even took a picture in the toilet  ). Get yourself and your foreign friends as well, down to Chinatown right now, and taste this wonderful local food.  You won't regret it!
To get there, just turn left at the traffic light junction of Jalan Sultan & Jalan Tan Cheng Lock, where Kotaraya and Nando's are located. Drive straight for about 50 metres, and look out for Seng Kee's bright red neon-lit signboard on your left. They are right next to Nam Heong Chicken Rice and opposite Hotel Furama.
