This is a Michelin Bib Gourmand Eatery.

This was one of the Eateries I visited just before I boarded the Flight back to Singapore. ✈️🇸🇬 Even before 8.00am on a Saturday Morning, it was Noticeably Crowded with Locals although Not Full House.

The First Thing that caught my Eye was the Big Pot of Soup Broth that were Boiled with Multiple Whole Chicken within. 🐔🍲 Abit Unusual to see it Displayed like this as such Soup Pots are usually done in the Back Kitchen. 🤔 But at least it shows how much Effort they put into the Making. 👍

The Eatery has a Typical Kopitiam Look and while its not Air-Conditioned, it was still Airy. 🌬️ Staffs were Friendly and the Owner was a Friendly Middle Aged Chap and Nicely Explained the Dishes they have on offer. 🍜👍 Even though this was a Michelin Awarded Eatery, he sounded Humble and displayed No Airs. ♥️


🍜 Kway Teow Tng (Small) = RM7.00

Presentation-Wise, I thought it didn't look any different from a Regular Kway Teow Tng, nothing really any Special. 🍜🤔 The Soup Broth has a Nice 清甜 Taste, Very Savoury with a Pork Lard Undertone. 🐷😋 Even though it was boiled with Alot of Whole Chickens, it didn't taste Chickeny or Oily at all. 🐔👍


The Key Unique Ingredient is of course the 3 Eel Fishballs (Meatballs?) 🍡🤔 This is the 1st Time I'm eating Fishballs (Meatballs?) made out of Eel Meat. They were Very Soft to the Bite.

I describe the Bite Texture Softness abit like Butter, Very Smooth to Bite and yet not Nua Nua Mushy. 🍡😋 Not at all Fishy and has a Nice Savoury Taste. It looks like a Regular Fishball, ALMOST taste like a Regular Fishball, but Not Quite. 🤔 Salted and Marinated Nicely with a Nice Savoury Taste. 😋

The Noodles were Silky Soft, easily slides down the Throat and Portion was Acceptable for the Price. 🍜👍 But I reckon they're probably from a Package and not Homemade. The Rest of the Ingredients were 2 Fish Slices 🐟 which tasted like Compressed Fishcake. They were also Very Soft with a Noticeable Saltier Taste. 🐟🧂

Some Pieces of Pork Meats and Intestines which were Juicy, Meaty and Chewy 😋 but do have a Slightly Elevated Noticeable Porky Taste. 🐷🤔 These were then Finished Off and Topped off with Fried Pork Lard Pieces which of course gave a Final 猪油香味 to the Dish. 🐷😋

Conclusion and Closing Thoughts

At a Total Combined Price of RM7.00 (S$2.20), this is certainly worth the Money to try. 👍 The Kway Teow Tng itself is Very Competently Made and I consider this Above Average in Taste. 👍 Its the Eel Meat Fishballs (Meatballs?) that I feel is the Most Unique Ingredient since I've never tasted it before. I don't think we have Eel Meat Fishballs (Meatballs?) in Singapore right? 🤔

That said, Its not some Super Unusual Gourmet Dish, so don't expect to be Completely Blown Away because at its Base, this is still just a Kway Teow Tng (albeit an Above Average One). 🍜🤔 Just like every Hot Bowl of Kway Teow Tng, this one felt Very Warm and Easy on my Tummy in the Morning. 😋 Perfect for a Nice Morning Breakfast to start the Day. If you are around the Area, I definitely can recommend this to anyone to give this a try.
