First of all, I had to emphasized, this is NOT Melaka / Malaysia cuisine.  The purpose I wrote this post, is to remind you, be careful when you order delicious foods from restaurant.

I get this from a friend who send me an email regarding Hong Kong style Boneless Chicken Feet.  The first photo is what we saw in regular Chinese Restaurant.  But when went through all the remaining photos, I would advice you think twice before order this “Delicious Dishes”.

Every day, over 50% of Malaysian will eat noodles(Bee Hoon, Kueh Teow), like fried noodles, mamak noodles, Chinese style, Malay style or even Indian style.

Today, I want to bring you to Melaka(Malacca), where there is a place called Hong Kong fish ball noodles.  The shop is located at Bandar Hilir, Melaka.  Just opposite the Menara Taming Sari.  It is a corner shop lot and easy to find.

I really enjoy the fish ball noodles or bee hoon together with fried Tauki(fried bean curd skin with fish meat in it).  The fish ball is very fresh and smooth, tauki is crunchy and smell good.  The noodle is served with soup, spring onions, fried dry onions and sea weeds.

See how big are the fish balls

With tauki

Easy to find, right ?

Oh! before I forget to tell you, the price is cheap also compare to others

Regular – RM 3.50

Large – RM 4.50

Tauki – RM 0.50/pcs

You can also order others side dishes, like Hokkian Mee, Chicken chop and etc.  But I strongly recommend Hong Kong fish ball noodles(Bee Hoon or Kueh Teow)

Trust me, you won’t regret this.
