For plump, homemade ‘sui kow’, head to Palace Rice Vermicelli Restaurant in Yulek, Cheras to satisfy your dumpling noodle cravings

The Palace Rice Vermicelli Restaurant, situated in Yulek, Cheras, serves up a delightful breakfast option that satisfies both the morning hunger and the sweet tooth. Located near a group of local residents and operating daily from 6 am to 3 pm (except Monday), this well-maintained eatery is renowned for its signature rice vermicelli, also known as mai sin in Cantonese.

The restaurant's pièce de résistance is the sui kow, a handmade dumpling filled with plump whole prawns and minced pork mixed with water chestnut. Each sui kow is a mouthwatering revelation, bursting with flavor and texture. The signature dish consists of three large dumplings nestled among strands of rice vermicelli, kept warm in a naturally sweet broth that often contains ikan bilis.

With no other noodle choices available, diners can rest assured that these rice vermicelli noodles are consistently firm, springy, and chewy yet never mushy, delivering a smoothly enjoyable slurp.

For those who crave variety, the restaurant offers a combination bowl featuring sui kow, a fish ball, and a pork meatball. Other popular toppings include fish cake, squid balls, and chopped spring onions. The restaurant also suggests trying fried sui kow for a texturally different experience.

To complement the savory meal, the restaurant offers two bowls of sweet Cantonese tong sui, such as ginger soup with glutinous rice balls and barley ginkgo soup with the same rice balls. These desserts are impressively large, providing a satisfying mouthful.

Palace Rice Vermicelli Restaurant 宮廷之米線, also known as the Imperial Noodles, offers a truly exceptional dining experience that combines the best of both worlds - a savory breakfast staple and a delectable dessert. If you're a fan of dumpling noodles and have an appetite for indulgence, this restaurant is well worth a visit.
