A little story behind our name, our journey, and the funny moments along the way.
If you’ve been following Noodle Shack for a while (or even makan with us once), chances are you’ve wondered:
“Eh… why you all call yourselves Noodle Shack ah?”
It’s actually one of the most common questions customers ask us — in-store, on social media, and sometimes even via delivery notes.
So today, as part of our new series “Tanya je… V try jawap ha…”, we’re finally answering it properly.
🏡 The Name “Noodle Shack”: Small, Cozy, Down-to-Earth — Just Like Our Beginning
When we first started Noodle Shack in year 2009, we were literally a tiny shop.
A humble space, just enough to fit a few tables, a small kitchen, and a whole lot of dreams.
We wanted a name that felt like home.
Not fancy, not atas, not pretentious.
Just something simple… warm… and true to our roots.
That’s how “Noodle Shack” came to us.
A shack means a small, modest, comfortable place — the sort of spot where you don’t have to dress up, don’t have to feel shy, and can just enjoy a bowl of hearty, handmade noodles that taste like comfort.
And that is exactly what we’ve always wanted Noodle Shack to be.💕
🍜 A Home for Handmade Noodles
From day one, everything revolved around one thing:
our love for handmade noodles — especially Pan Mee and Mian Fen Kuih.
We make them fresh, we "massage" them with care, and we serve them the way our families taught us. To us, a bowl of noodles is more than just food; it’s tradition, connection, and culture.
So choosing a name like Noodle Shack just felt right.
A small place with big heart.
Simple name, honest food.
😂 But Here’s the Funny Part… “Noodle Shark”!
Now… if you’re one of those who once misread our name, don’t worry — you’re definitely not alone!
Over the years, we’ve heard:
Noodle Shark 🦈
Noodle Shock ⚡
Noodle Snack 🍘
Even Noodle Check ✔️
Every time we see it on Grab/Foodpanda orders, we laugh until pengsan a bit.
But honestly?
We’re happy you remember us — even if as a shark. 🦈💛
So just to clarify once and for all ah…
🗣️ It’s “Noodle SHACK”, not “Shark”!
(Unless we one day decide to sell shark fin Pan Mee… which we won’t la. HAHA.)
