Famous Seafood Noodles - Restoran Yu Ai, SS2

Yes sir, famous is the word. Yu Ai must be the most famous seafood noodle establishment in the Klang Valley. As far as I'm aware their original outlet is in Segambut and they have a branch in SS2 on the same row as Nasi Kandar Kayu.

What they serve is noodles (or meehoon or kuey teow) in either clear soup, curry or tomyam with lots and lots of seafood. There are prawns, fish, lala, sotong and so on. The amount of seafood they put into each bowl of noodles is quite a lot and you'll probably be quite surprised at it the first time you try them out.

Well as for me I've eaten at their restaurants on more than a few occasions and wish to introduce another word to describe their noodles; overrated. I was impressed with their noodles the first time I ate at their Segambut branch some years back but the second time I ate there I noticed that their seafood isn't all that fresh (especially obvious with the prawns) and there's really nothing special about their soup base. The few times that I've been back there my impression of it has not changed for the better.


Tomyam seafood noodles. Some people swear by the curry but I'm a tomyam kind of guy.

Unfortunately the SS2 branch really is more of the same and I'm unlikely to change my impression on their noodles. The food isn't bad but as I mentioned earlier with their less than fresh ingredients and their nothing-so-great soup I can't help but wonder why their restaurants have such a great reputation.
