No Service Charges
Here is the Full Menu of the Eatery/Restaurant.Prices are Accurate as of the Date of the Post.
I got to know of this place through Johorkaki actually. In fact this little Eatery is located just a Couple of Metres within Walking Distance from Rahmat Siakap Goreng that I reviewed previously. Really Small Adorable little place, and it was actually quite alot of customers on a Afternoon at 1.00pm when I reached.
Family-Run, the Head Chef is a Super Adorable and Friendly Makcik. Really Chatty and Really Friendly and Welcoming, apparently she was Singaporean staying in Katong side even back in the Past if I did not remember wrongly.
Just look at how Delightfully Friendly everyone was!
Anyway everything was served up together quickly in about 3 Mins or so.
Quality of the Sambal
The Homemade Sambal they have here is Light Orange in Colour, this had a Soft Non-Gritty Texture. There is a Unique Fruity Taste in this that I have never tasted for a Sambal before. No idea what fruit it is, but its definitely a Fruit of some sort.
The Sambal itself is Elevated Spicy until make "Ears Itchy Level". The Spiciness can kiss your Tongue quite Painfully although its still not considered Really Spicy for me. People who cannot take Spicy though should not attempt this. Its a Really Good Sambal though. Malaysia Sambal seldom disappoints and this one is No Exception.
Kopi O Kosong (Hot) = RM1.80
Served in a Classic Glass Cup, its Not a Particularly Strong Kopi I'll be honest, this is quite light in flavour leaning more towards diluted actually. Feel free to skip this.
Mee Soto Bihun + 2 Kaki Ayam = RM7.00
In Johorkaki's review, he specifically mentioned about adding Kaki Ayam (Chicken Feet) into this and I was very intrigued because Chicken Feet is not an Ingredient I see added to Mee Soto. At least not in Singapore I don't think so.
I specifically requested to add these and I was apparently lucky they still had some in stock. I'm surprised this Kaki Ayam is so popular.
The Dish consists of:
2 Kaki Ayam (Chicken Feet)
Generous Amount of Shredded Chicken
Soup
Bihun of course.
Quality of the Soup
I was immediately impressed when I tasted this. Its a Very Intense Tasting Chicken Soup with an Elevated Level of Saltiness. Chicken Flavour is really Gao Gao and tastes like its definitely been boiled for a Very Long Time.
The Adorable Makcik confirmed she makes this Everyday at 4.00am. She's definitely not lying because there is Alot of Work involved in this as I tasted. Comforting and Saltish, I also detected maybe some MSG added. Overall this tasted Really Good and Savoury. First time tasting such a Gao Gao Chickeny Flavour Mee Soto Soup.
Quality of the Bihun
Amount given was Acceptable for the Price. Most certainly from a Package, these were boiled tender but nothing Particuarly Special about these. They work alright as the Carb Component of the Dish.
Quality of the Shredded Chicken
Made of Breast Cuts, thankfully these didn't tasted dry. Tasted Very Clean and Not Overly Chickeny. In fact I thought they were very Generous with the Amount given.
Quality of the Chicken Feet (Kaki Ayam)
Hahaha for all the Hoohaa this brought, these were not the Chinese Style ็ๆฑค Stewed until Super Soft Fall off the Bone Type. Texture is actually More Firm and Gelatinous with a Firm Skin.
Personally, other than Appearance, I don't feel they really added anything to the Dish. But feel free to add them if you want. It is rather unusual to see Chicken Feet being eaten in a Mee Soto after all.

Conclusion and Closing Thoughts
At the Price of RM1.80 (S$0.60) was certainly an affordable Price for this Kopi O Kosong but I'll be honest it tasted Light and Tad Diluted. Perhaps skip this.
At the Price of RM7.00 (S$2.30) for the Mee Soto Bihun is really the Signature of this Place or More Specifically, its the Soup that is the Whole Soul of the Dish.
This Soup tasted Very Gao Gao Chickeny and tasted like there is alot of work done to it. I'll admit I'm no Mee Soto Expert and I haven't eaten much Mee Soto, but this is perhaps the Most Gao Gao Chickeny (in a Good Way) Mee Soto I've eaten by far.
The Matron of the Place, the Super Friendly Adorable Makcik informed that she cooks this at 4.00am Every Morning and I absolutely believe her because the Taste of this Soup does not lie.
This brings me to the True Beauty of this Place which is the Lovable Adorable Makcik herself.
She is really such a Nice Person and so Energetic and Sprightly despite her Age.
To be able to wake up Every Morning 4.00am where most of us are probably still sleeping is Truly an Amazing Fortitude. She is really the Main Reason why I have no issues giving my Highest Top Score for this place.
Just look at her Bright and Beautiful Smile in this Photo! ❤️
Very Well Made Mee Soto and Most Importantly such a Friendly Welcoming Place that really made me feel right at Home eating. Although my Highest Score, Realistically, this Eatery is really Out of Place located all the way in a Little Kampung in Pasir Gudang so its gonna be hard to convince someone to take the time to specifically Queue Kastam to try this.
If for some reason you are in Pasir Gudang however, I can definitely recommend to come give this a Try. I do recommend to come as soon as you can though because Makcik herself is also Not Young anymore and it might not be long before Age forces her to retire. Heck, why not visit this and Rahmat Siakap Goreng while you're here since the 2 of them are located very near to each other.
