 Here is the Full Menu of the Eatery/Restaurant.
Prices are Accurate as of the Date of the Post.

This is a Michelin Bib Gourmand Eatery.

Its a Very Non-Descript Eatery located on the Roadside just Opposite the Famous 馨香 Him Heang. 👍 There were Not Much Customers and No Queues on a Monday 4.30pm when I was there.

Its quite a Large Place with both an Outdoor and Indoor Area, not Air-Conditioned but still relatively Airy. 🌬️😌 Staffs were Friendly and mostly keep to themselves. The Dish took only about 1 Min to serve up.Duck Blood Curry Mee + Roasted Pork (Small) = RM11.50

Unlike alot of Curry Mee I've had in Malaysia JB, the Curry Broth for this one is Uniquely White in Colour instead of the Usual Laksa Yellowish Colour. 🍜 Decently Presented, the Amount of Ingredients weren't alot from my 1st Impression. 🤔
Without mixing everything together, the Taste of this White Curry Broth has an Intense Coconut Milk Base 🥥 with a Sharply Salty Sweet Savoury Tone. 好汤! 🍲👍 With such a Solid Foundation for its Base Broth, there is no doubt in my mind that this is going to be good. 😋 

The Chilli thats served Seperately on a Spoon is Intensely Spicy with a Earthy Taste and a Very Grainy Sandy type of Mouth Texture. 🌶️😋 Spiciness is Quite Strong and will bite your Tongue and linger long. 🌶️ Solid Chilli here.

The Signature Ingredient, the 2 Pieces of Duck Blood had a Saltish Somewhat Firmish Tofu Bite. 🦆😋 I love the Blood Firmness here, not too Firm and also Not Too Soft. Not Gamey at all. I was lucky that they had Duck Blood in stock that day when I went because if its not available, they will substitute it for Pig Blood instead as stated in one of their Signage. Guess I was lucky! 🦆😄

That said, having eaten both Duck Blood and Pig Blood, I feel there really isn't much Difference or if there were any, I couldn't feel any difference since they both have a Very Similar Taste Profile. 🤔 Personally, I feel the Level of Firmness is what I look for in them.


The Rest of the Ingredients were 1 Small Taupok cut into 4 Pieces. Its of course meant to act as an Absorbent Sponge for the Gravy and I thought had a Creamy Texture. 😋 The 4 Pieces of Sio Bak were not alot but had a Very Nice Roasted Pork Taste with a Delightful Crunch Crispy Skin. 🐷 This is actually pretty good Roasted Sio Bak.

The 2 Pieces of Cuttlefish were Bouncy and Juicy. 🦑 Noodles were a Mix of Yellow Noodles and Beehoon. Soft but Not Mushy and are soft in the Right Ways. 🍜 Portion is acceptable for the price although I feel these are likely from a Package.


Mixing the Chilli into everything significantly dampens the Intense Coconut Milk Taste of the Broth 🥥 and brings with it a New Layer of Spiciness. 🌶️ Very Smart, this makes the Broth less Heavier than before, and yet also not Overly Light. Both Broth and Chilli formed a Very Nice Delicate Balance which I thought totally worked very well for this Dish. 👍 This Curry Broth is the Soul of the Dish that brought every Ingredient together into a Cohesive Whole. 🍲

Conclusion and Closing Thoughts

At RM11.50 (S$3.50), I feel that this is definitely worth to try. 👍 Compared to many of the Curry Mee I've had in JB, this was surprisingly not as Heavy in comparison. 🍲🤔 In fact, it really doesn't really have a Typical Laksa Taste that I had expected from a Malaysian Curry Mee. I love the Savoury, Saltish and Sweetish taste to it that hits all the Right Notes for me. 🍲😋
Although I thought the Amount of Ingredients were not alot, the Overall Portion was still Adequate for 1 Person. 🤔 Every Ingredient worked together in Harmony and nothing tried to overtake each other at all. Everything just worked in this Bowl of Curry Mee. 👍 

Really Friendly and Humble Owner too. 👍 When I went up to him to give him a Compliment, he was quite Shy and Very Humble about it. Excellent Place, I can totally understand why this is Michelin Rated. 😋 Definitely worth a try.
