Visited this due to some Google Reviewers who apparently claim this to be one of the Best Mee Hoon Kuey in JB. The Actual Eatery is a Sparsely Decorated but Relatively Large Place and Nicely Airconditioned Cooling in the Morning.
Upon stepping in, there was a Light Perfume Fragrance in the Air. I appreciate the Myanmar Staffs who were Friendly and Welcoming with a Smile. Not Much Customers at 9.30am on a Weekend Morning initially but it quickly filled up. This place looks quite Popular with the Locals as you can see. Anyway it took 9 Mins for the Dish to be served up.
Quality of the Chilli Condiment
This is basically a Very Salty Fish Sauce Chilli Mix. Really Very Salty. Spiciness is a Tad Elevated that will gently kiss your Tongue but won't bite. Really very Salty, so I would advise to use this sparingly if you are someone watching your Salt Level.
Traditional Mee Hoon Kuey Soup (Small, Normal Texture) = RM10.50
Despite a Small that I ordered, I thought the Dish itself looks Pretty Large actually with a Nice Homely Presentation and Comforting Delicious Soupy Aroma. Of course I dissected it closely and it consists of:
Soup of course
Mee Hoon Kuey
2 Small Fishballs
2 Small Porkballs
About 5 Pork Meat Slices
A Whole Bunch of Mani Veggies
A Few Ikan Bilis
Quality of the Soup Broth
Hot and Comforting, this was a Very Decent Ikan Bilis based MHK Broth. Not Bland at all, it was Saltish but Not Overly Salty, it doesn't taste like alot of MSG is added. 清甜 and Drinkable Good to Drink. This is a Very Decent Soup Base.
Quality of the Mee Hoon Kueh
Uniquely Rounded and Curled Up, the Amount given felt Acceptable for the Price. Normal Texture I ordered has a Nice Soft Chewiness, Slight Boing Boing Texture. Abit like biting into a Slightly Firmer Mochi is how I would describe this.
I also thought this had a Pretty 滑滑 Smooth Surface. Although a Tad Thick, its Well Cooked Thru with No Doughy Middle. Pretty Decent MHK tbh.
Quality of the Pork Slices
Thick Cuts with a Solid Juicy Meaty Chew. Probably one of the Thicker Cuts of Pork Meat I've eaten for a MHK, the Thickness makes it doesn't feel Stingy. Not Porky at all with a Natural Meaty Taste. Very Decent.
Quality of the Fishball
Although Small, they had a Slight Soft Bouncy Juicy Bite with a Slight Fishy. This doesn't taste like its from some Supermarket Package. I have no issues with this other than I wish it was slightly bigger though.
Quality of the Porkball
Compared to the Fishball, this one definitely tasted like its from a Supermarket Package. Also Small, it has the Classic Saltish and Porkish Taste of a Supermarket Packaged Porkball.
Mani Veggie
The Classic Veggie for a Mee Hoon Kueh. A MHK Dish isn't really a True MHK if this is not included. I liked the Generous Amount given. Clean Tasting with No Sandy and a Firm Veggie Chew with the Unique "Tea Taste" that Mani Veggie has. Nicely Done.
---------------------------------------------------------
Conclusion and Closing Thoughts
At the Price of RM10.50 (S$3.50) even for the Small that I ordered, I thought it was Affordable, and Fairly Priced and Not Stingy with Ingredients. I mostly don't have any issues with any of the Ingredients within and eating everything was Satisfying.
From the Firm Natural Juiciness from the Pork Slices to the Veggie Crunch from the Mani Veggie to the bits of Crispy Saltiness of the Ikan Bilis all delivered with a Spongy Tender Mee Hoon Kueh Carb with a Comforting Soup Broth makes this a Decent Meal.
Don't let my Average Score deter you from this place. Is this really the "Best Mee Hoon Kueh" in JB as how some people claim?
Probably not, but it is decently done and I have no issues with it. Together with the Decent Service, I certainly have no issues recommending to give this a try if you are in Taman Molek craving for Mee Hoon Kueh or indeed Something Soupy.
