N07 Classic Seafood Noodle Soup = RM16.90

Service Charge 5% = RM0.85

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

As I explored the Area, I saw this Noodle Place that seemed Popular so I thought I'd give it a try. It has an Open Concept Design yet Air-Conditioned and actually Slightly Cooling and Airy. The Place has a Simple Clean Renovation Design.

Myanmar Staffs are Polite and Reserved. The Lady who took my Order I thought was especially Friendly and eager to serve with a Friendly Smile. Anyway it took 13 Mins for the Dish to be served up, which I thought was abit long but still ok.

N07 Classic Seafood Noodle Soup = RM16.90

Visually Decently Presented, I liked how the Veggie Leaf stuck out like this.
There is a Nice Seafoody Aroma and especially 花雕酒 wafting from it.

Of course I dissected it closely which consists of:

Soup and Kway Teow of course
2 Large Fish Head Pieces
3 Slices of Fish
9 Lala Shellfishes
1 Shell-On Prawn
1 Fishball
1 Meatball
1 Small Slice of Fake Abalone
2 Leaves of Lettuce

Quality of the Soup

Decently Seafoody and certainly sweetened by the Lalas. Not Alcoholic Tasting despite the Prominent Aroma of 花雕酒. It tastes like a Slight Bit of MSG may have been used but not too much. Slightly Saltish but also Not Too Salty.

Interestingly, there is a Very Small, Almost Missable Slight Sourish Tease too.
Overall Not Super Amazing, but still Not Bad Tasting for a Seafood Based Soup that is made with Effort.

Quality of the Kway Teow

Almost certainly from some Supermarket Package, the amount was acceptable for the Price.
Soft and Tender, they were nice as the Carb Component of the Dish that went smoothly down the Gullet.

Quality of the Fish Head Pieces

2 Big Pieces given, these were Thick and Fleshy. Meat was Soft Tender Fall off the Bone. Slight Fishiness but also Not Overly Fishy. I love how Creamy the Fattier Parts were that melted in my Mouth.

Quality of the Fish Slices

Compared to the Fish Head, these were More Meaty in Texture. Decent Thickness for the Slices, they didn't feel Stingy. They also tasted like they have been slightly marinated with a Slight Sesame Oil presence which I thought served to enhance the Flavour. Obviously this is used to hit away any Fishiness, but I thought the Meat itself didn't taste that Fishy in the First Place.

Quality of the Meatball

This is a Porkball. Not QQ Bouncy Type, this also had a Tender Bite. The Noticeable Unmistakable Porkiness of this thing 吃得出来 is probably from some Supermarket Package.

Quality of the Fishball

The Irregular SIze of this thing makes me think that this is probably Handmade. Not Super QQ Bouncy, Texture was more Soft Tender. Not Overly Fishy and Slightly Salted.

Quality of the Fake Abalone Slice

This tastes exactly how you'd expect it to taste. Hahaha I'm not sure why they even bother putting just a Small Piece of this. If they are cutting cost, they might as well omit this if its only going to be a small piece like this.





Quality of the Lala Shellfishes

These were alright, nothing amazing. No Sandy, No Slimy, they are probably used more to Flavour the Soup than anything.

Quality of the Shell-On Prawn

Its Shell-On, and yes as expected, Digestive Tract is not removed cleanly.
The Prawn itself is nothing special, Not Super Bouncy but also Not Nua Nua.

Conclusion and Closing Thoughts

At the Price of RM16.90 (S$5.40), this wasn't a Very Cheap but still an Acceptable Price for a Seafood Noodle Soup.
There are however a Couple of Hits and Misses. 

I liked the Decent Lala-Infused Seafood Soup Broth which tasted like it was made with Effort. I also liked the Creamy Melt in Mouth Fall off the Bone Quality of their Fish Head. I also appreciated their effort in marinating their Fish Slices with abit of Sesame Oil.

What I feel could be improved is definitely their Prawn in which the Digestive Tract is not removed. Always something I always look for in a Seafood Soup like this. Not removing this shows lack of effort and this is something alot of Seafood Eateries (even Higher End Ones) miss out on.

Other than Culinary, I have no issues with the Overall Service Quality actually. I especially appreciate the Friendly Smile from the Lady Staff who took my order. A Simple Smile goes a long way.

Don't let my Average Score deter you from this Place. If you are near the area craving for Seafood Soup, don't mind the prices on their Menu and keep your expectations in check, I can still recommend to give this place a try.
