Lala Mee Suah ala Lai Foong

Getting the ginger, garlic and vegetables ready.

I’ve always been a fan of the Lala mee hoon from Lai Foong kopitiam in Kuala Lumpur. If you haven’t had them, you should give it a try if you happen to be around Petaling Street area. I love how the natural sweetness of the lala (clams) flavours the soup, accented by fresh ginger for that subtle kick, and the rice wine gives the whole dish a special umami.
