This was an Eatery in Taman Setia Indah that was mentioned by our Favourite JB-Resident Amelia for their Mee Hoon Kuehs so I thought I'd give it a try. Unfortunately their Mee Hoon Kueh was Discontinued on 28-April-2026 so by the time you read this Post, it is no longer available. Despite that I still felt this Review is useful so you can at least get an Idea of their Quality Standards and my Feel for this Place.
Interior of the Eatery
This was a Relatively Large Place, Airconditioned and Comfortably Cooling even at 9.00am on the Saturday Morning when I visited. Simple Renovation Design with a Simple Theme. Condiments are located at a Corner for you to self-service and I was amused that Free Jewel Biscuit Snacks are available too for Customers to Munch. This is Very Rare to find for a JB Eatery.
Quite a Popular Place too as you can see as I observed what is probably Local Customers kept streaming in the longer I was here. Not too bad that even Locals patronize this.
The Staffs were mostly made up of Myanmar Ladies who were Polite and Reserved and they were lead by a Local Malaysian Chinese Lady who is herself Friendly and Polite. No issues with Customer Service. One thing I noticed however was that there seems to be a Flies Issue as I had a Couple of Annoying Buggers flying around often.
Anyway it took 2 Mins for the Kopi-O-Kosong, 5 Mins for the Soup and 14 Mins for the Mee Hoon Kueh. Slightly long for the MHK but to be fair, the Menu already pre-empted a 15 Mins Wait Time in which they are actually faster. But it also doesn't matter anyway since MHK is no longer available by the time you read this.
I did try to test if they could wait for the MHK and serve up everything together. I appreciate the Local Malaysian Team Lead for trying their best but they are unable to do it. I do appreciate her for trying though.
Quality of the Chilli / Pork Lard Pieces
These are found at the Condiments Section which you can self-service take. Watery in Texture, this had a Decent Robust Presence of Belacan. Its a Tad Elevated Spicy but doesn't bite hard and linger on the Tongue. Not Bad Chilli.
Pork Lard were not the Super Crunchy Type but had a More Softer Soft Bite Texture.
Decent Tasting and I appreciate this is Self-Service.
Kopi O Kosong (Hot) = RM2.40
Serviced in a Smaller Kopitiam Looking Cup, this had a Decent Aroma Fragrance. No Siap Siap, Not Particularly Bitter, this was a Decent Cup of Kopi that will gently wake you up in the Morning. Decent.
125 Soup with Pork Noodle Condiment (No Carbs) = RM10.90
Served in Quite a Big Bowl, I requested No Carbs for this. The Dish comes with:
Soup of course.
4 Handmade Meat Pieces
1 Meatball
1 Fishball
3 Pork Liver Slices
1 Small Intestine Cut
5 Pork Meat Slices
Quality of Pork Soup
Savoury Sweetish with tasted like some MSG is added although not too much. This is a Classic Soup that you'd normally get for Kway Teow Tng. Decent Tasting, not Overly Saltish. This was 清甜 to Drink.
Quality of the Handmade Meat Pieces
Made of Pork, these were Slightly Saltish and Not at all Porky. They were Soft Tender to the Bite and tasted like some Dough Filler was added although Not Overly Doughy either. Tasted like a Less Doughy Version of Indonesian Bakso is how I would describe this. This was Decently Done.
Quality of the Pork Meatball
Big in Size, the Irregular Shape of this makes me think that this is probably handmade. Firm to the Bite but not Super Bouncy, this had a Solid Porkish Chew that also isn't Overly Porky. Slightly Saltish, I felt this was also Decently Made.
Quality of the Fishball
Also a Big One, I love this one for its Super Firm Bouncy QQ Bite. Its a Tad Fishy but also not overly so.
Not sure if this is Handmade or Supplier Product but this was not bad.
Quality of the Pork Slices
Soft and Tender, these tasted like they have definitely gone through a Velveting Process resulting in a Smooth Soft No-Porky Chew. Again, Not Bad.
Quality of the Pork Intestine
Ehhh with only 1 Small Cut like this, I wonder why they even bother. Its Soft at least, Not Rubbery. There are some "Soft Mushy Cream" within that had a Slight Bitterness but it was not too bad. Overall Clean Tasting but ehhhh 1 Small Piece like this...
Quality of the Pork Liver
3 Large Cuts for these were Soft Tender Texture and Not Over-Cooked. The Livery Taste for them were abit Elevated but I'm still ok with them.
102 Traditional Mee Hun Kuey (Soup, Small) = RM10.90
(This MHK Dish has been Discontinued as of 28-April-2026)
Served in a Relatively Large Bowl, the Dish itself contains:
Mee Hoon Kueh of course
Soup
1 Fried Fish Roll?
2 Handmade Meat Pieces
1 Meatball
1 Fishball
4 Pork Meat Slices
Quite alot of Mani Cai Veggies
Shallots and Ikan bilis
As you can see, other than the Fried Fish Roll and a Couple of other Items, most of the stuffs are repeated in this, so I would not repeat myself.
Quality of the Fried Fish Roll
I think this is made of Fish Paste with some Dough Fillers? It tasted like a Ngoh Hiang is how I would describe this.
Ok tasting lah, I guess its ok if you are ok with the Taste of Ngoh Hiang.
Quality of the Mani Cai Veggies
Someone once said a MHK is not a True MHK if it doesn't have Mani Cai. Don't remember who wrote this. There are Generous Amounts of these. Clean with No Sandy. They are Chewy releasing a Nice Tea Taste.
Quality of this MHK Soup
Maybe its me, but I thought this tasted slightly different from the Pork Soup. I don't know why but for some reason, this tasted Thicker and More Robust Full Body? Maybe the Presence of Mani Cai affected this. I highly doubt they would cook another batch of Soup just to make their MHK though.
Quality of the Mee Hoon Kueh
Oh this was Good. Amount given was Acceptable for the Price. They look Thick but not at all Doughy and Well Cooked Through. They're all Uniform in Thickness and interestingly looks like they are Manually Torn from 1 Sheet of Dough giving them a Rustic Look. Its a Pity they discontinued this Product because I feel this MHK won't lose to other MHK Eateries in terms of Quality.
Interestingly as I got to know from this, the MHK are not made In-House. According to what I probed, apparently their Lady Boss premade this. If that's the case, I have no idea why the 15 Mins Wait Time. Maybe they need time to De-Frost or something?

Conclusion and Closing Thoughts
At the Price of RM2.40 (S$0.80) was an Affordable Price for this Kopi-O that is Acceptable although Not Amazing that gently woke me up nicely in the Morning.
Every Ingredient while Not Super Amazing, was processed decently and 不错吃. What I was amused was that Lone 1 LIttle Piece of Intestine which I felt they might as well omit if they are going to cut cost.
At the Same Price of RM10.90 (S$3.60) for their Mee Hoon Kueh is unfortunately no longer available since they already discontinued this. From what I tasted though, it was Decently Done.
Although its not Amazing until you have to specifically come all the way to Taman Setia Indah to eat. Overall I feel this won't lose to other Dedicated JB MHK Eateries out there. Not sure why its discontinued, maybe the Rise of Ingredients Prices? Or maybe there is alot of Work?
The Eatery itself is actually rather Popular among the Local Folks as you can see.
One reason I suppose so is because the Amount and Variety of Ingredients given is quite Generous for the Asking Price.
In Today's 2026 Johor Bahru where an Average Dish cost at least RM12.00, a RM10.90 Dish that isn't Stingy with Ingredients (and No Service Charges on top of that) is understandably a Pretty Good Value for Money.
The Fact they have a Self-Service Condiment Station with even Free Baby Jewel Biscuit Snacks for Customers is something Rare to see for a Restoran in JB. The Only Issue I really have is really the Noticeable Flies Issue I encountered despite being an Indoor Enclosed Area.
Although not really worth to specifically queue Kastam and come all the way to Taman Setia Indah to eat this, I can recommend to give this to try if you are nearby the Area for an Affordable, Comforting Bowl of Kway Teow Tng.
