Thoughts: SS14's Restoran S.K Lim 茶餐室, a single shot lot kopitiam; offering only 2 hawker stalls. The Wanton Mee stall is not bad, offering 湯底 soup and 幹撈 dry Wanton Mee with 叉燒 charsiew, 雞腳 chicken feet, 肉碎 minced meats or 咖哩雞 curry chicken; definitely worth sampling. But today's breakfast is 豬肉粉 Pork Noodle from the only other stalls in the shop; the stall offers both fish and pork noodle. The rm$7 regular size Pork noodle comes with a tasty pork soup base, generous amount of 豬肉碎 minced pork along with some 豬腸 pork intestines and 豬肝 pork liver plus some pork balls as well as 生菜 lettuce. Some crunchy 豬油渣 pork lard would have up the satisfaction, but overall an acceptable above average bowl of Pork noodles. 
The little corner shop with maybe 10 tables (5-6 outdoor on the walkways and 4 inside the kopitiam) is surprisingly full house today at around 8am with a busy morning market along USJ 14/2A but MPSJ parking is generally still possible around 8am in the morning along USJ 14/2 where the shop is located at. Besides the 2 hawkers stalls, typical hot beverages like Milo, Kopi, Tec or Herbal tea are also available. 
There are probably many 豬肉粉 Pork Noodle around USJ area or SS12-19 area (SS1-11 and SS20 onwards are on the other side of the 聯邦大道 Federal Highway, usually I think people refer to it as 八打靈再也 Petaling Jaya area also have many popular destinations for Pork Noodles). 
Pork noodle is probably a very 馬來西亞華人的麵食 Malaysian Chinese dish and some say that Pork Noodle has its origin from 東馬 East Malaysia, noticeably the "Sang Nyuk Mian" (​Chinese: 生肉麵) is a dish of noodles served with pork broth, originating from 鬥湖 Tawau, 沙撈越 Sarawak. The 生肉麵 Sang Nyuk Mian is said to be a popular dish among non-Muslim communities in the state of Sabah. The noodle dish usually popular as a breakfast meal comes with slices of tender marinated 豬肉片 pork cuts served in 豬骨湯 pork broth which is usually flavored with 豬油渣 fried lard bits. The noodles can be 黃麵 yellow noodles, 棵條 koay teow, 米粉 vermicelli or 老鼠粉 rat noodles; dunked into the soup can be a variety of 豬內臟 pork innards (豬肝/潤 Pork liver, 豬腰 Pork Loin, 豬腸 Pork Intestines), 豬內丸 pork balls and 青菜 some vegetables. One of the popular Pork noodle speciality shops is the Sang Nyuk Mian chain of restaurants is the 鼎香生肉麵 Ding Xiang Sang Nyuk Noodles which can be found in SS15, SS21, Puchong Bandar Puteri, Sri Petaling, and Cheras. Of course, there are many other shops which specialize in the Pork noodle but most are offered as hawkers stalls in Chinese Kopitiams. One other famous Pork noodles shop is the 等久久猪肉粉 Ooi Noodle House, also in SS15. Everyone have their own favorite place for Pork Noodle, Restoran S.K Lim's Pork Noodle offers not just Pork noodle but also 魚滑麵 Fish Paste noodle and I think next visit should sample the Fish Paste noodle.
In 香港 Hong Kong, Pork broth based noodle shops probably is not common at all; however, in 2018, I came across a super popular 維記咖啡粉麵 Wai Kee Noodle Cafe (located in 62&66 Fuk Wing St, 深水埗福榮街 Sham Shui Po, Hong Kong); and their 猪潤麵 Pork Liver Noodle is extremely popular. The HK$40 bowl of 猪潤麵 Pork Liver Noodle is probably an acquired taste as the only meat in the bowl is the 猪潤 Pork Liver in bowl of pork broth which can go with 麵 Noodle or 米粉 rice Vermicelli. 豬潤粥 Pork liver porridge is probably a more common dish in many porridge shops in Hong Kong. 
Pork Liver is 豬肝 but in 香港 Hong Kong, 澳門 Macau and 廣東 Guang Dong is offered referred to as 猪潤. The reason of why "潤 (yon)" instead of "肝 (gan in Mandarin)" is because in 粵語 Cantonese 音同 sound like "乾 (kon in Cantonese)" (or dry) which maybe did not sound well as a culinary delicacy, so somehow the 反義字 opposite words "潤" is used which could mean (moisten) and likely that sounds better as a food name of calling it (猪潤 g-yon in Cantonese) instead of (猪肝 g-kon in Cantonese).
