We had passed this place several times but deterred from eating here because of heavy traffic and difficulty to get car parks. Finally, we could not stand it anymore and decided we should have our beef koay teow today and we tried circling the place a few rounds before getting a parking slots at the back lane parallel to Chulia Street. For those prefer the conventional koay teow, you can go for the one at Hutton Lane or maybe Sungai Nibong.
This place had always been packed every time we passed by and today was no exception as well. Most of the tables were full occupied before we managed to find some seats and that was even sharing with others. This place was quite warm....
A coffee shop at the junction of Lebuh Chulia and Lebuh Pantai (Beach Street) sells kick ass beef soup koay teow. You can easily find the shop, it is situated directly opposite the fire station. And another thing is, it is run by a pretty young lady. This is quite rare in my opinion, as most beef soup koay teow stalls are run by men usually. The smallest bowl starts from RM7, which is one or two ringgit more expensive compared to the rest. But you won’t mind paying a bit extra for the best, right? I know I won’t.
What I ordered was a medium one, koay teow only with additional beef meat balls specially requested @ RM10. I don’t know how many beef meat balls are usually given but there were 6 in mine lol. The normal meat balls are made using ground beef but if you are lucky...
The one we had on last Saturday looked like this. A bowl of koay teow soup with muscle meats only. RM7.50. Wahlau ei..............
The soup taste for this beef koay teow stall is basically mild (or should I say milder than other similar stalls?). However I heard some saying that their soup base for Saturday is actually a lot milder than the weekadays one (perhaps due to the 'hoi tong' hour is later than usual?!). Anyone has compared before the weekdays vs weekends one? Confirm uh?!
We went to pick my son from school and head over to the ferry area with intention of going to the beef koay teow that one of this blog reader, Yu Jen, mentioned. But we ended up at another beef koay teow stall opposite the Balai Bomba in Leboh Pantai. In fact, there was an emergency and I heard the fire department siren. I stopped eating and took a video of the firemen getting ready. It takes only one minute for them to gather, wear their suits and boots and leave the fire station.
Three of us ordered one bowl of beef soup which costs RM15 and three bowl of dry koay teow, costing RM1 each...
Thanks to C for taking me to the most incredible beef noodles I have EVER had ... well since days of "tang-chai" (little chair, by the road-side) in Ipoh (That is but a memory now, they have since closed, I was but a little boy then!).
This lady chef is simply a maestro!
I chose the kon-loh or dry variety, which meant the to-die-for beef soup came in a separate bowl ... Incredible stuff!! DIVINE!...
