Kway Teow / Kway Chap - 海兴粿条仔 (Johor baru)

Kway Teow/ Kway Chap 海兴粿条仔

Food are cooked by the boss who master the skills and techniques to deliver great taste of the food

The famous Kway Teow already prepared in the bowl. The kway teow is a noodle dish and is very popular in Singapore and Malaysia. This kway teow is very unique as the width of the noodle is sleeker compare to the normal size kway teow that are available in Singapore. You can only in it in Malaysia.

I must really recommend this Kway Teow noodle soup. It is really tasty. The Kway Teow texture is smooth and soft. The cooking timing is perfect! The Kway Teow does not break off easily show that it is not over cooked and the soft texture when you eat it is simply heavenly. The soup base is special too, perfect bland with the Kway Teow. Not sure how did the soup base is prepared, but definitely there are taste of pork, together with spring onions, make one drool at this dish alone. Per bowl of Kway Teow Sell at RM 2. Really worth it.

Braised eggs and Fish cakes. The braised egg is ok, fish cakes are chewy and spongy.Very nice.

Salted Vegetables. Salty yet sweet. Nothing to complain about

Braised Duck!! Soft and tender meat. Go well together with the braised sauce.

Pork meat - Slice thinly, fats really melt in your mouth. The meat is lightly flavoured.

Ngo Hiang. It is a composition of various meats and vegetables and other ingredients, such as a sausage-esque roll consisting of minced pork and prawn, seasoned with five-spice powder. It is served with chili sauce. The Ngo Hiang taste crispy after deep fried and the filling is soft when chewed. Very fragrant. Dip in chili sauce to taste the Ngo Hiang at a different level. A must order dish.

Fried beancurd is another must order dish. The beancurd is firm on the outside and soft in the inside. It does not break off easily if you try to pick up a slice to eat.

Pig intestine, a dish i strongly recommend all to try, if you really like to eat this part. It is really wonderful. The intestines are prepared with hardwork and passion. For general knowledge, the pig intestine is very difficult to clean, one will have to keep flipping in and out of the intestine in order to clean it properly. If not, it will have an awful taste that left in your mouth after eating. But, this dish serve us with great excitement and heavenly taste. The intestine is lightly flavoured, if you eat before, you know that the intestines are braised with herbs heavily to cover the awful taste. But the intestine served are not, lightly peppered and flavoured, it does not leave any awful taste after you chew. You get to taste the pig intestine!! Very hard to find such handiwork nowadays. Really a must order.

A table full of delicacy. Really a wonderful meal.

Verdict: 5 /5 FULL SCORE!!!!!!!!

Nam Moon Korean BBQ

Nam Moon Korean BBQ located along the shop houses at Taman Pelangi, is a good place for yummy Korean style meal at affordable prices. The restaurant is spacious and comfortable with several smokeless BBQ grills.

The shop is air conditioned with 2 big screen TV showing latest Korean shows.

The side dishes or banchan in Korean are neatly and beautifully presented in traditional Korean style. What more, you can ask for replenishment for the side dishes, but at limited quantity. Sides dishes consist: Kimchi, potato salad, beansprout, pumpkin paste etc. The number of sides given depend on the number of people eating at the table.

There are several BBQ sets that you can ordered. This set we order consist of beef, bacon and pork chunks. The grilling will be done by the staff unless you specially instruct them that we wish to do the grilling yourself.

The meats are fresh and juicy. It is supposed to eat with cabbages provided. Bean paste and sesame oil are provided, you can dip into either sauce for extra taste.

The kimchi soup came with a claypot and it was bubbling furiously with hot steam. There is a variety of different fresh ingredients. The hot broth tasted all flavours, sweet, sour, salty and spicy. All the flavours were nicely blended together and not overwhelming.

The Tom Yum soup also came in the same state. The spicy and sour taste are really great. Plus the large variety of ingredients, this soup dish is really a must try.

Ginseng Chicken soup with glutinous rice. The broth taste of both chicken and ginseng, each compliment each other well. Plus the chicken meat is substantial for 4 persons. The amount of glutinous rice is just nice, not overwhelming and chunky. The rice totally absorb the ginseng chicken broth, very tasty.

Stri fried pan cake is really really awesome. The pancake is crispy and soft at the same time, not overwhelming oily. This simple dish mainly consist of carrots and vegetables, no meat involve. Dipped with the chili sauce that come with it, simply wonderful. A must try dish.

Korean glass noodle or chopchae/japchae(잡채). It is very tasty dish with subtle sweetness, chewy and pleasant texture. The whole dish consist of mainly vegetables and mushroom, hence it is a very health food plus the dish is not oily too.
