Have you ever paid for a MYR3.50 nett, steaming bowl of pork ball noodles?

Have you ever paid for a MYR7.90++, steaming bowl of pork ball noodles?

If you answered "no" to the former, just go to any coffee shop or food court and you're likely to find one. They're mostly average-tasting, but I have had bad ones. However, if you answered "no" to the latter, you can give it a try at 3JC. Currently peddling premium pork balls to folks at Aeon Taman Equine, Sunway Pyramid and Plaza Low Yatt. For those of you who answered "yes" to the latter, tell me how it tastes like, will ya? Yes, folks, I'm doing a food post of an outlet I've not set foot in before. According to the banner out front, one bowl of 3JC pork ball noodles contains all of the 4 main elements-- noodles (duh!), pork balls (Sam Gan Chong, the rectanglish type that comes in wafers. 3JC is a play of this name, I think), pork sausages and minced pork. Yes, lotsa pork. Being the premium pork ball expert that they are, they claim that it takes more than 10 hours to produce one bowl of 3JC pork ball noodles (this calculation obviously ignores mass production strategies, concurreny and pipelining). In 39 meticulous steps (don't ask me whether it includes consulting the stars or some other ritual, as no details were provided, :P), they make the 4 main components out of scratch. The Aeon Taman Equine oulet even has an open kitchen concept ala Bread Story. Luckily, they don't hang up a pig carcass in the kitchen. Don't fret if pork ball noodles is not your cup of tea, they have many varieties-- pork ball noodles (soup), pork ball noodles (dry), curry pork ball noodles, tom yam pork ball noodles, seafood pork ball noodles, pork ball noodles in porridge..... oh wait, you're pretty much screwed. So, if you have a hankering for processed 3 little piggies, go visit 3JC sometime.

PS: My sister told me that the portion is not extra large nor the taste extra good. But we all need to splurge on a over-priced bowl of noodles once in a while, right?

I've not had good pork ball noodles since this hawker in Subang SS15 moved to USJ somewhere then came back to Subang SS15 to open stall again. It never tasted the same since he came back to SS15... :( And that was back in 2004. =P
