Fish head noodles @ Jalan Tiong Nam

I am a big fan of fish head noodles and almost anything with fish in it (:D) but good ones are hard to come by. I have heard about this place in Jalan Tiong Nam a lot and I finally made a trip there on the way to town.

Served in claypot which keeps the food warm till the end


It has tofu, tomatoes, preserved vegetables (ham choy), yam, cabbage, tofu skins, Lala clams, fish balls, rice wine, fried fish slices and thick vermicelli in it.


They normally serves this dish with evaporated milk and fried fish but I asked for no milk and unfried fish. However, they only got part of my order right as you can see the fish slices were fried. I really disliked it because the fish slices were coated with really thick batter which became really chewy after frying. They also became soggy after being cooked in the soup.

But I like the ingredients a lot and I think I will make another trip here if the future, only this time I will really really make sure they serve mine with no milk and unfried fish slices!

This big claypot of fish head noodles and a glass of herbal drink cost me only RM7.00.





It's not far from Hotel Wira.

Lui Cha - PJ Old Town

A few friends told me that the Hakka Lui Cha in in this coffee shop is very good. Since acquiring a taste for lui cha not too long ago, I have tried like five different places. This one was my sixth one.



When the bowl of soup and another bowl of dry ingredients with brown rice arrived at my table, I looked at the rather watery and thin soup and thought to myself - this is not going to be very good.


Luckily, the dry ingredients in the other bowl could hold their own, thanks mainly to the sauteed, caramelized onions, which added a nice flavour to this dish. But still, I wished the soup were not as watered down. The maid probably added too much hot water to my bowl of soup?



RM5.50 for lui cha with plain steamed rice. RM6.00 with brown rice.

Lui Cha - Big Big Bowl, Kepong

This Hakka restaurant is located in Kepong not too far from Jusco. It's on the other side of the main road, behind Standard & Chartered bank.

Lui Cha

Too bad they didn't have brown rice on week days. I was told that brown rice is available on during weekends. The dry ingredients looked a little stale but luckily, they tasted okay.

The soup was thick and warm! Nice!

Somehow the soup reminds me of the one in Jinjang Selatan as they look and taste so similar. However, the one in Jinjang has thicker soup.

A bowl of lui cha with plain rice and a cup of black coffee cost RM9.20.

This shop offers lui chai noodles and pan mee as well. I will come back to try these.

Tong Pak Fu

Tracka (竹脚)durian snow ice....yum. This was what grabbed me and got me into the restaurant :D. The snow ice was really fine and it hardly melts even till the end. Tracka is one of my favorite type of durian and you could tell that they put a generous amount into making the snow ice so it was all good. The grass jelly and the colorful jelly were no good though. Very tough and chewy.



I ordered the big one, RM16.45

Kampung Attap Fish Head Curry

This was my second time to this particular outlet. After two visits, I finally concluded that this type of fish head curry just wasn't for me. I didn't like the choice of fish, nor the type of curry. The gravy was just too watery and didn't have enough punch in it.

This is not because I prefer the type with santan (coconut milk) as I enjoy both types.

chicken and vege.








The fish head curry, vege, chicken, rice, papadam and limau ice set me back by RM22.50. Not cheap. There are other outlets nearby and maybe I will check them out as well.
