Thoughts: When 廣式乾面 Cantonese style dry noodles was brought to Malaya from 廣東 Guang Dong, 中國 China; it uses ingredients such as lard, oyster sauce, lards, and soy sauce. 馬來亞中部和北部 Central and Northern Malaya likes it with darker soy sauce, while then 馬來亞南部 Southern Malaya develop a taste of their own with 番茄加辣椒醬 tomato plus chili sauce! 陳英漢先生 Mr Tan Yin Han, also known as 陳新 Tan Sin or Chan Sin migrated to Johor from 新會 Xin Hui of 廣東 Guangdong, 中國 China in the 1930s. 

Initially selling Laksa but later in the 1953, he develop his skills to make wonton noodles using 竹昇打麵 bamboo pole after learning from a Master and started selling the famous 笨珍雲吞麵 Pontian Wanton Mee. From selling bamboo noodles via three-wheeled mobile stall, to stalls and later a shop in the 1978 with his son 陳兆炯先生 Mr Chan Ha Chai . The grandson, 陳偉翔先生 Mr Chan Wee Siang learn the skills of preparing the Pontian Wanton Noodle in the 2010s and took over the 70+ years business from there onwards.

The shop offers 雲吞麵 Wanton Mee and 雲吞麵薄 Wanton Mee Pok in 茄汁紅 Tomato, 紅辣茄汁 Tomato Chili Red, 黑醬 Black Sauce, 黑辣 Black Chili, and 白 White variants, all from rm$9.90 onwards; also available are 西刀魚丸 fish ball and 雲吞 wanton a side dish.

In 2017, the 陳家第三代 3rd Chan generation, 陳偉翔先生 Mr Chan Wee Siang left the hometown of 笨珍 Pontian and moved to a new shop at 哥打白沙羅 Kota Damansara, 八打靈再也 Petaling Jaya to mark a new milestone of the 陳新記笨珍雲吞麵 Chan SinKee Pontian Wantan Mee. Mr Chan still believes in hard work and wakes up early every day to make the the authentic homemade egg noodles that is one of the main ingredient of the red sauce Pontian Wanton Mee.

Thoughts: The signature dishes here are "薑酒蛋湯 Ginger Wine with Egg Noodle" and "番茄蛋湯 Tomato and Egg Noodle", and the waiter also recommended the shops 甘榜(菜園)雞 Kampung Chicken. "百家村麵家 Next Station Noodle House" is one of several Chinese restaurants in a single row of shop lots in PJ's Seksyen 19, located at the junction of Jalan 19/8 and Jalan Harrapan turning into SS2. And there are also several Durian stalls here. Perhaps the downside is parking is limited MBPJ parking, but I suggest to park behind the shop lots aa the residential houses along Jalan 19/7 or 19/10 or 19/12 (around the small park). 

Today's dinner is the shop's signature rm$13.50 "番茄上湯麵 Tomato Egg Soup Noodle", which can be ordered as soup noodle, rice, dry, or just the soup (without noodle); and noodle choices are 麵線 Mee Sua (todays choice), 黃麵 yellow noodle, 米粉 Mee Hun, 老鼠粉 Loh Si Fun, 粿條 Koay Teow or Home-made 菠菜 spinach mee. In the menu are also 菜菜園飯 Kampung Chicken with Rice, as well as a good choice of side dishes like 客家肉丸 Hakka Fried Pork Ball and 客家豆腐卜 Hakka Tofu Pok. Today's choice of one of the shop's signature 番茄雞蛋湯麵 tomato egg noodle dish appeared in thick red-orangey color tasty soup and loaded with a variety of items: even a piece of 鮑魚 abalone, 魚丸 fish ball, only one piece of tender 菜園雞 kampung chicken, 魚餅 fish cake, 雞肉 chicken meats, and 煎蛋 scrambled fried eggs; topped with some green onions. 

Apparently the simple Noodles with 西紅柿雞蛋麵/番茄雞蛋麵 tomato egg sauce in its most basic form is cooked simply with 3 basic ingredients of 麵  noodles, 番茄 tomato and 雞蛋 egg; and a popular noodle dish in 中國 China, 台灣 Taiwan and parts of 東南亞部分地區 South East Asia. The sweet and savory noodle dish is particularly easy to prepare and cook, and a popular dish for busy mom's for their little children in China. Also a popular recipe is 番茄蛋湯 Tomato egg soup (without the noodle), which also goes well with rice. 

There probably used to be another 百家村麵家 called "Next Station and Bukit Pagar Noodle House", which is at PJ New Town BUT maybe permanently closed due to the Pandemic.

Thoughts: 砂拉越茄子/番茄麵 Sarawak Tomato Mee or more commonly known as "Keo Jiap Mee" (the words "茄汁 Keo Jiap" = Tomato Ketchup and "麵 Mee" = Noodles in 福建話 Hokkien). Today's rm$12.90 "砂拉越茄子麵(加料) Sarawak Tomato Mee" comes with 古晉炸麵 crispy Dried Mee (like the dried Yee Mee) with toppings of 叉燒 Cha Siew, 豬肉丸 Meat Ball, 豬肝 Pork Liver, 魚丸 Fish Ball, 魚餅 Fish Cake, 青菜 Vegetable and topped with interesting thick 番茄醬 Tomato gravy. The Sarawak 番茄麵 looks unmistakably like the 廣府炒 Cantonese style fried noodle dish except that it is with a thickened "orange color" tomato sauce.

"林里香 Restaurant Lin Li Xiang" is located in one of the single row shop lots in SS22, right next to Damansara Link - Sprint Highway. This neighborhood restaurant in Damansara Jaya offers all-day long Kolo Mee (a variety of dry or soup choices), their signature Sarawak Laksa, Sarawak style goreng-goreng, several choices of Sarawak Tomato sauce noodles, Hakka style rice dishes, and some choices of snacks. The morning session offers Sarawak style noodles and rice dishes until 4pm. The evening session offers interesting 達雅克燒烤 Dayak BBQ, 火鍋 Hot Pot, as well as 砂拉越原住民煮炒 Masakan Ruai, not forgetting there are 瓶裝啤酒 bottled beers choices in the menu to go with the Dayak BBQ! 

In Sarawak, the 砂拉越人 Sarawakians have a unique palate and will rate whether this noodle dish is nice or not depending on how well the 麵條的油炸程度 noodles are deep fried and crispy (deep fried to perfection), whether it is 是否足夠酸 sour enough and are the noodles flooded with 足夠的番茄醬 adequate tomato sauce! Although 粿條 kway tiao (番茄粿條 Tomato Kuey Tiao) and 米粉 beehoon (番茄米粉 Tomato Rice Vermicelli) are also common alternatives in Kuching Tomato Noodles variants. 砂拉越茄子麵 Sarawak Tomato Mee is among the unique 古晉番茄麵花樣 Sarawak style noodle dishes that you cannot find in 西馬 West Malaysia or 新加坡 Singapore or even Sabah.

Some say that 砂拉越茄子/番茄麵 Sarawak Tomato Mee is the local version of tomato richness of the 意大利麵 Italian spaghetti bolognaise. BUT Instead of minced meat; mixed 海鮮 seafood (魷魚 squid or 蝦 prawns), 雞粒 shredded chicken, and maybe 豬內臟 pork innards, 叉燒 fish cake, 魚餅 charsiew, and some 菜心 choysum are common in 砂拉越番茄麵 Sarawak Tomato Mee!

番茄麵 Sarawak Tomato Mee is a strangely delicious dish but there isn't any information in the web about the origin of this interesting dish. BUT someone did suggest that it could have a similar story like the 殖民遺產 Colonial legacy of the "海南雞扒配番茄醬 Hainanese Chicken Chop with tomato sauce"; where the chef mistakenly poured over tomato sauce instead of the intended oyster sauce over the chicken chop!
