4 Side Dishes for Pan Mee to Enjoy at Noodle Shack

Pan Mee may be what brings you to Noodle Shack, but sometimes it is the little extras on the table that make a meal even more enjoyable.

At Noodle Shack, we believe good food starts with how it is prepared. Alongside our Malaysian Pan Mee, we have a selection of handmade and freshly prepared side dishes that bring different textures and flavors to your meal.

Here are four to try on your next visit. 😉😉

Handmade Mackerel Fish Ball Soup

Slap, slap, slappy! 👋🐟 That’s how we get our fish balls bouncy, chewy and oh-so-satisfying!

Our Mackerel Fish Ball Soup is more than just a comforting bowl of soup.

We prepare our handmade fish balls using a traditional slapping technique. This process helps release the myosin proteins in the mackerel, transforming the loose fish mince into a sticky, gelatinous and elastic paste.

The result? Fish balls that are known for their satisfying chewiness, with a balanced savory umami flavor and a subtle oceanic sweetness from the mackerel.

Enjoy it on its own or pair it with your favorite bowl of Pan Mee for a warm and comforting meal.

Crispy Stuffed Bean Curd Roll

with Taucu Sauce

Crispy outside, fishy-good inside, with a little Taucu magic on the side. 🤎✨

For our Crispy Stuffed Bean Curd Roll, we hand-cut the bean curd into rectangular pieces before filling them with fish filling.

The rolls are double deep-fried to create a crispy exterior, then served with our homemade Taucu sauce for an extra layer of savory flavor.

Crispy, savory and perfect for adding another texture to your Pan Mee meal.

Sambal Shrimp Okra

Okra meets our handmade Sambal Chilli Shrimp… and things get a little spicy. 🌶️🦐

For something with a little more Malaysian character, try our Sambal Shrimp Okra.

We hand-pick fresh okra and boil it in hot water before pairing it with our handmade Sambal Chilli Shrimp.

The fresh okra and our savory, spicy sambal come together to make a simple vegetable side with plenty of flavour.

If you're a sambal lover, this one deserves a place on your table.

Deep Fried Mackerel Fish Cake

Same mackerel goodness, different shape. Fish ball’s crispy cousin has entered the chat! 👀🐟

Our Deep Fried Mackerel Fish Cake starts with a similar traditional process to our Mackerel Fish Balls.

Instead of forming the fish mixture into balls, we shape it into cakes specially suited for deep frying.

The result is a crispy outside with the characteristic savory flavor and chewy texture of mackerel fish.

It is a simple, satisfying side to enjoy alongside your Pan Mee.

More Than Just Noodles

From handmade mackerel fish balls to crispy bean curd rolls and our handmade Sambal Chilli Shrimp, these side dishes reflect the same care we put into our Pan Mee.

So the next time you visit Noodle Shack for a bowl of Malaysian Pan Mee, why not add a side and discover another part of our home-style kitchen?

Whether you're dining at Noodle Shack 1 Utama or Noodle Shack Avenue K, there is always something extra to enjoy alongside your noodles.
