Since my first visit to this restaurant, I always wonder why this restaurant is named Kampar Fish Jelly? Does it have anything to do with Kampar - a sleepy town in Perak? Or the dishes served here are Kampar's famous delicacy? Could it simply be another seafood restaurant? Until today, I still do not have an answer! Do you?
To my surprise, Kampar Fish Jelly Restaurant is indeed selling Hakka Mee (noodles), Yam rice, Herbal Chicken, Black Soy Sauce Pork Stew, Chicken Feet Stew and their highlight Yong Tau Fu. A range of choices are available for instance long bean, lady finger, chili, xiao pai cai as well as the deep fried stuff like 'pok pok choy' (deep fried bean curd sheets) and deep fried bean curd...
The name Kampar fish jelly for certain doesn’t ring a bell. But this restaurant actually specializes in yong tau foo. It could be due to the origin that it’s named differently.
The place is very tidy and hygenic. Cooking and plating are done in front of the restaurant.
A variety of yong tau foo you can choose or just tell the taukeh how many pieces you want, they’ll pick for you.
If you come from Queensbay Mall to Pantai Jerejak’s roundabout, turn left, take the flyover, and you will reach Sungai Nibong area. On your left after the flyover is a row of shop, including Restaurant Teppan Yaki, and the one we going to review today, Hakka Mee.
Seriously there is no restaurant sign in front of the shop. The restaurant’s actual name is “Kampar Fish Jelly Restaurant“, or more known as Sungai Nibong’s Hakka Mee among locals. There is a counter in front of the shop in which you pick your own ingredients and make them into a bowl of soup (also known as Yong Tau Foo).
What is “Kampar Fish Jelly”? Well everyone will presume something sweet. Actually it is Yong Tau Foo, which is mostly found in Kampar, Ipoh and KL. There are a few shops selling it in Penang but we prefer this shop located in Sungai Nibong town (near Queenbays Mall). The shop is airy though it is located in middle of a row of shops, clean and brightly lited.
Yong Tau Foo is basically fish paste stuffed into varieties of vegetables and tofu. The fish paste is very fresh and springy.
Fried ingredients are served separately and the rest of the ingredients...
There is a coffee-shop somewhere in Pantai Jerjak and Gold Coast area. I did not manage to get the address so hope the Penangites can tell me the exactly location.
I had been there three times. I know the shop is called Kampar fish jelly. I guess, the fish jelly is a direct translation from Cantonese for fish paste.
Various types of young tau foo and crispy soya bean sheets called ‘chui pok pok’. The photo above is the chui pok pok. It is really nice to munch of these...
