If you’re hunting for Xinjiang-style noodles in Shah Alam without emptying your wallet, let me introduce you to Salam Noodle in Seksyen 13. Self-service, no fuss, and my personal noodle haven.

Now, I’ve never been to Xinjiang (or anywhere close), but after scarfing down my fair share of mee tarik and mee hiris, Salam Noodle feels like it could maybe be the real deal. Affordable and satisfying noodles in Shah Alam? Yes, please.

I love noodles. Like, love them. Chewy, springy noodles are my weakness, and Salam Noodle gets it right. No weird doughy texture, just pure noodly bliss. My go-to? The braised beef noodle soup. It’s warm, comforting, and my trusty cure when I’m under the weather. (Porridge is out because, surprise, I’m allergic to rice. Yes, it’s tragic.)

The chili oil? It’s fine. I love it, but I’m not into spice wars. But maybe not mind-blowing if you’re a spicy food lover, you might find it as intimidating as tomato ketchup.

Let’s talk vibes. The place is simple, blue-and-white decor, clean, and cozy. We came early for dinner – at around 6pm – so no crowds, and the place was spotless. A major plus in my book.

Portions? Generous. Almost too generous for me. I’ve never been able to finish a bowl in one sitting, but it’s not big enough to share unless you’re into hunger games with your dining partner. The beef slices are plentiful, so at least you’re getting your money’s worth.

And here’s a bonus: free drinks. Hot or cold, even fizzy stuff, with unlimited refills. My fave is their Lou Huan Gou – so refreshing I had two cups before my noodles even arrived.

Oh, and the soup? Piping hot and full of beefy flavor and aroma. Heads up: if you’re not into bold broth, this might not be your thing.

Now, while the sign says Chinese Muslim restaurant, the staff were likely Bangladeshi. So no, it won’t feel like you’ve been transported to Xinjiang, but the food delivers where it counts.

I haven’t tried their beef satay or dumplings yet, mainly because I’m loyal to their noodles (and stuffed after one bowl). But if you’re in Shah Alam and craving affordable, hearty noodles, Salam Noodle should be your next stop.
