Factory produced noodle or Home made noodle? The question looms on. While majority of the noodle shops uses industrialised noodles, a small percentage of them sticks to the traditional method and produce their own home made noodle. Some of the advantages of the home made noddle are that there are no preservative used, and it tastes much more crunchy than the industrialised one. The disadvantage being it cannot be kept for long. Lido Pan Mian which is located at the Lintas Square is one of these noodle shops that uses home made noodle. Pan Mian is a kind of noodle that resembles fettuccine. Now another question surfaces, why would a noodle shop in Lintas named itself with a not so near by place called Lido. Interesting? Well the boss of Lido Pan Mian was originally from the Lido area, he has been selling Pan Mian at Lido for a period of 16 years, while renting a small stall. This kopitiam is a corner shop located right at the entrance to the Lido market. Today he runs his own kopitiam in Lintas Plaza, and since many of his customers refer his noodle as Lido Pan Main, so he has retained that name.
