  "account": "Semenyih, August 18 — Loumazi Noodle offers a refreshing take on the classic chilli pan mee. While many versions of this iconic dish inundate the bowl with copious amounts of seasonings, Loumazi's signature version focuses on a lighter approach. The spacious, brightly lit eatery, run by Mr Lim, is a family business that began in 2021 during the Covid-19 pandemic.\n\nThe owner tells of their soft launch period, where customers are already flocking to the establishment. While noodles are the star attraction, Loumazi also serves popular Kopitiam beverages and toast, serving as appetizers before the main dishes. One notable departure from traditional recipes is their cham C, a lighter and less sweet version of the regular cham, made with unsweetened evaporated milk and a dash of sugar.\n\nFamilies and elders seem to appreciate the more restrained hand with salt in the broth and proteins. The shop's unique LMZ Soup Special is a standout, blending Japanese ramen elements with Malaysian flavors, such as the soft-boiled egg, braised pork belly, and round of foo chuk. The soup's subtle flavors, combined with the lightly seasoned meatballs, cater to those who prefer a more subdued taste.\n\nLoumazi Noodle, located at 48-1, Jalan Eco Majestic 10/1F, Semenyih, Selangor, operates daily from 9 am to 9 pm. The meal was paid for by the reporter, and further food discoveries can be found on Life for Beginners' Instagram account, @eatdrinkmm.",
