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

This Eatery is located in the Food Alley leading to Beletime Mall here in Danga Bay.
What I was surprised was how Popular it was at 8.30am on a Weekend.

One of the More Popular Eatery in this place, even during later Lunch Hours it was still quite popular with Customers as I observed too.

As you can see, the Eatery itself is very simply renovated, Spartan and Cleanly Maintained.
Its not Air-Conditioned but still felt Airy and Comfortable.

Staffs are Polite and Reserved and I do appreciate that when I put my bag on the floor after taking my seat, he offered to put the Bag on their Chair instead. Ordering is directly from the Staffs. It took just 3 Mins for both my Kopi and Kway Teow to be served up together. Not bad timing.

Kopi O Kosong (Hot) = RM2.50

Served in a Decent Sized Cup, this was Rich and Robust and quite Strong too. There is a Siap Siap Aftertaste to it, but overall I have no issues with this. This was a Decent Strong Kopi to start the Day.

Sister Kway Teow Soup (Small) = RM10.00

Firstly I'm impressed with the Price. This is actually Quite Reasonable Price for a Mall-Based? Eatery. Not even in Outside Kopitiams can you get such a Price. Even for the Small I ordered, it still looked like a Huge Generous Bowl chocked with Ingredients.

The Dish comes with:
Generous Serving of Kway Teow

1 Beancurd Skin

1 Big Fishball

1 Small Fried Fishball

2 Small Pork Balls

8 Pieces of Pork Slices

Quality of the Soup

Visually looks Cloudy with a Decent Sweetish 清甜 Taste. I tasted some MSG being used although not alot. Not Overly Salty, this was quite nice to drink actually. Not Amazing but a Decently Made Soup.

Quality of the Kway Teow

Amount given felt Generous for the Small Bowl that I ordered. Really alot of Kway Teow for the Price. They are most certainly from some Package but were boiled Soft and Tender and Easily Sides down the Throat. I also felt they're abit of the Thicker Side too, and it was quite shiok to 大口大口吃面. Nice.

Rest of the Ingredients

The Pork Slices didn't felt Stingy and were Thick Cuts with a Juicy Bite. I appreciate that they took the effort to Nicely Velvet them with Smooth Texture. Not Overly Porky and Slightly Salted, this was Decently Processed.

The Big Fishball had a Soft Tender Bite and didn't taste Overly Fishy. Nothing Special about the rest of the Ingredients as they are likely Supermarket Packages and tasted like how you'd expect them to taste.

Conclusion and Closing Thoughts

At the Price of RM2.50 (S$0.90) was a Very Decent Price for this Decently Brewed Strong Robust Coffee.

Obviously its not going to win any Michelin Awards, but it is still a Decent Non-Dilutted Strong Brew that will wake you up fresh in the Morning.

At the Price of RM10.00 (S$3.40) was also a Very Decent Price for this Kway Teow Soup. Even for the Small that I ordered, the 1st thing that struck me was how Generous and Non-Stingy they were in their Ingredients. 

While the Ingredients arent Homemade and most likely sourced from some Supplier / Supermarket, giving 3 Different Type of Fish/Meatballs, Generous Cuts of Pork Slices and even Beancurd Skin with a Generous Filling Amount of Kway Teow for the Price is unheard of. No way in Singapore are you going to get such a Value for this Price. The Overall Taste won't win any Michelin Awards but there is definitely Effort especially when they took the effort to Velvet their Pork Slices.

The Non-Stingy Generous amount of Ingredients for the Price they're asking is perhaps why I always see Customers Non-Stop at this Eatery as I observed closely when I was there. From Morning till Night, the Customers were Non-Stop. This is quite impressive to see given that Danga Bay itself is a rather Sleepy Relatively Non-Touristy Area of JB. I hardly see any Singapore Cars around.

If you are ever here in Danga Bay looking for a Kway Teow Soup, keep your expectations in check that this is about a Standard SG Kopitiam Level, is ok with the Prices, I can definitely recommend to give this place a try. I personally found it Filling and Value for Money.
