You'll love the broth in the Penang-style pork noodles inside Pudu's Restaurant KWB
Maybe because it's just a simple noodle dish, the flavour hangs on what you put in the bowl.
Around the Klang Valley, one can cherry pick from various stalls depending on your preference.

Love a stronger, richer pork broth? Well, you're sure to find stalls that have your back where it's a trade-off with your wallet or your 'health'.
Stronger flavours can easily be built by loading up the pork with a higher cost that may hurt your wallet or using artificial seasonings leaving you thirsty for more that may (or not, depending on your body) give you an adverse reaction.
Or how about a cleaner broth supporting the assortment of pork and offal that goes into the bowl?

This particular Penang Pork Noodle stall offers the latter — a lighter flavour pork broth using pork bones of varying sizes.
Penangite Chow has been cooking his hometown's taste that 'doesn't make you thirsty', as he describes it, since 1976 around the Pudu area
Previously at Restoran Pudu Utama, his stall relocated to this spot about one plus years ago.

The soup version seems to be a popular pick, as seen by numerous diners slurping down their noodles in signature ceramic bowls.
The bowl is jam packed with minced pork, sliced pork, offal like intestine and liver. Pig's kidney can also be added too except on Monday when the market is closed.
Here, the liver is thinly sliced, giving you a different type of bite.

When cooked lightly, the thin pieces have a creamier bite, reminiscent of those served with bak chor mee in Singapore.
With this broth you can happily drink each spoonful with the noodles of your choice and the meat, until the bottom of the bowl can be seen; a sign of true satisfaction.
For the dry version, the dark sauce coating the noodles feels a bit sweet but a generous topping of fried garlic gives it extra flavour.
A small portion of the noodles is RM10 while a big portion is RM11. An egg for RM1 extra can also be added too.

Hani Terraced Fields: A Paradise Harboring Ingenious Technology
BEIJING, CHINA - Media OutReach Newswire – 20 August 2025 – The year 2025 marks the 40th anniversary of China's accession to the World Heritage Convention, a milestone that highlights the country's commitment to preserving its cultural and natural treasures. Among these jewels, the Hani Terraced Fields in Yuanyang County of Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture, southwest China's Yunnan Province, stand as a breathtaking testament to the harmonious coexistence of humanity and nature. Nestled on mountain slopes with the gradient ranging from 15 to 75 degrees, the terraces cascade in stunning layers and can include as many as 3,000 steps. Over a thousand years ago, the ancestors of the Hani people migrated from the north to a valley in southern China. Despite the challenging natural environment, they made the most of the mountains and waters. The Hani people cultivated over 1 million mu (approximately 66,666.67 hectares) of rice terraces, some situated at elevations exceeding 2,000 meters, according to Ma Chongwei, a professor of Yunnan University. No matter how high the mountain, water finds its way. The Hani people constructed thousands of channels to divert streams. These channels wind through villages and terraced fields before merging with rivers in the valleys. Channel maintainers oversee the water channels, keeping them clean and ensuring proper flow. For over a thousand years, the Hani people have used water allocation tools to distribute water into a network of irrigation channels and ditches, showcasing their farming wisdom. Throughout the long agrarian era, the Hani people transformed mountains and rivers, sharing this landscape with the Yi, Dai and other Chinese ethnic groups living downhill. Deeply integrated into the ethnic culture, the terraces have now become the eternal spiritual homeland of the Hani people. In the terraces lies a harmonious coexistence of humanity and nature, the agrarian wisdom attuned to natural rhythms and an enduring spirit of perseverance.

The 49-year-old, better known as FBI said the annual programme not only drew wide public participation but also offered individuals the chance to realign their routines and strengthen their relationship with the holy scripture. 'We really need to make an effort to bring the Quran to life, especially among the younger generation and society as a whole. 'Perhaps at this point in time we are too busy with work and other commitments that, without realising it, we drift further from the Quran, even though we know it is very important in our lives as Muslims. 'But praise be to Allah, with Malaysia #QuranHour and World Quran Hour, it provides us the chance to reset momentum and review our daily schedules to see whether we are truly allocating time for the Quran,' he told Sinar. Faizal, who hosts the FnN Pagi segment on Zayan FM, said the Malaysia #QuranHour is an impactful programme as it gathers large congregations and creates a collective spirit of remembrance. Photo for illustrative purposes only. - Photo: CANVA 'This programme gives us strong momentum because it involves the public. When there is a larger congregation, it motivates us. 'If we can hold concerts, why not allocate at least one day a year for a programme like this,' he said. He recalled being invited to the Malaysia #QuranHour at the International Islamic University Malaysia, where Surah al-Insan was recited and reflected upon at the mosque. 'The atmosphere was very uplifting. Some attended because they were invited by friends, others due to work assignments, but as the Prophet SAW said, even if we just pass by or listen, there is still reward. 'All the more so if we sincerely intend to join and reflect on the Quran,' he said. Faizal also reminded fellow celebrities and busy professionals that time management was a matter of priorities. 'Time is what we choose. In the past, I had many commitments to the point I felt there was never enough. 'So why not plan in advance by including Quran routines or programmes like this in our schedule. 'If we can lock in job dates early, why not lock the Malaysia #QuranHour date too, so it won't be disrupted by other events,' he said. Looking ahead, Faizal hopes the 11th edition of Malaysia #QuranHour will continue to thrive and be expanded nationwide. 'Zayan has also consistently support Malaysia #QuranHour,' he added.
