Almost every table ordered at least a bowl of Hokkien Mee. Well, you can’t go wrong with the crowd, right?

The hokkien mee is quite typical as the soup or the stock is cooked from shrimp heads and shells.

Thus the taste of the soup is quite sweet due to long hours of cooking those shrimp heads. You will get the regular ingredients like cut shrimps, shredded meat and eggs.



This one is also quite close to the original Hokkien Mee where they put kang kung as part of the ingredients. Do take note next time if the hokkien mee you eat comes with kang kung too.



As a side dish, the stall does have roasted pork as add-on for those who prefer to have them together with Hokkien Mee. Hmmm, maybe what they are missing are “eiu char koay”.

A regular bowl costs RM2.20 while a large one costs RM2.70. This hokkien mee stalls is open from 7.30am till ~11.00am, seven days a week.

This Pulau Tikus duck rice or Sin Kong Chiew Hong Kong Style Roasted is at Kedai Kopi Kristal Seafood. This shop is at the junction of Burmah Road and Burmah Lane (Burmah Lane is where Thai and Burmese Temples are located).

The roasted duck here doesn’t taste oily and the skin is quite crunchy too. Probably the roasting style used have melted the fat underneath the skin, thus you don’t get much fat left. The meat is also rather tender and easy to chew.



Besides roasted duck, we ordered BBQ pork and roasted pork as well. We believed both the bbq and roasted duck used similar roasting style that gives those meat its juiciness and tenderness but the skin of roasted pork is more crunchy, perhaps due to longer duration of roasting.

There is also a variety of soups you can order and vegetables like beans sprout and “iu chai” as well. The price on average is about RM8 per person, depending on how much dishes you ordered. For us, we ordered “sah bee” (3 tastes), soup and vegetables.

What we like about the Curry puffs here is that they are big in size and the length is typically same size as your palm. Also, each time when we buy these curry puffs, they’re always piping hot and just out from the frying pan. Maybe we’re just in luck everytime? 



The ingredients inside is similar to regular curry puffs but in larger quantity, obviously. You’ll get potatoes and chunks of chicken meat inside. The skin and crust are also crunchy; perhaps they just got out from the pan.

The stall is available mostly during daytime and each curry puff sells at RM1.50. Fei Fei always buy two each time… for himself!

After more than half an hour, we finally reached the place ( TELUK KUMBAR SEAFOOD) and the noise of stomach growling becoming louder.



There were lots of people when we reached and immediately we looked for a place to settle down, quickly ordered the food and drinks too. Oh yea, while waiting for our foods to arrive, we got ourselves satay as appetizer.





The environment was quite lively and the sea breeze makes the surroundings quite comforting, it did not feel stuffy or warm having dinner that time. The restaurant had quite a number of chefs working round the clock to prepare the dishes and our food arrived within reasonable time.



“Cit lei” aka helicopter was the first dish to arrive, followed with clams (zhu tan). The sizes of the clams were the biggest I have eaten in any seafood restaurants. They were so big that you would feel the satisfaction of actually chewing the clams.





Fried bihun with salted fish arrived soon after while we continued to indulge with the food. The ingredients and portions are quite satisfactory but I find it slightly oily too.

The main dish that we ordered finally arrived, crabs cooked with salted duck egg. Ahhhh… the sight of that dish in front of our eyes looked really tempting to feast. Just look at the pictures and I’m sure it had already made you drooling 



Although it was cooked with salted duck egg, it wasn’t what we had in mind. Instead, there was a twist to that dish and somehow it looked more tempting. Milk was added which made the crabs looked creamy. It was the first time for us to have salted duck egg crabs with milk but we did find it nice and delicious.



The price of the seafood dishes are quite reasonably affordable as well and won’t burn a hole in your pocket. It is open daily except Tuesday and operates from 5.30pm till 10pm.

Environment

The pan mee here is what we called HVM mode – High Volume Manufacturing because the pan mee is cooked in masses than individually prepared. You put your orders on a piece of chit sheet and pass to the workers.

Then the workers will prepare the portion based on the size you want, Small, Large, XL, XXL, XXXL (Yes, you read it right – Huat Koay always ordered the XXXL because he complained the normal ones cannot fill up his stomach). The portion is indeed quite small even a normal person will order “Large”.



The pan mee comes in either thin or flat noodle and you get a bowl of soup with two fishballs if you ordered a dry one. The pan mee can be quite salty and the colour is dark brown, possibly too much of soy sauce inside.

Additionally, there is a mug filled with chilly sauce that you can add to your liking especially those who prefer to have it very spicy.



Besides pan mee, you can also order snacks like dim sum and also “A1” rojak which has colorful prawn crackers (heh piah). Also, there’s only one type of drink available, luo han guo either served hot or cold.

Although we like the outdoor atmosphere but the pan mee you eat may have additional “ingredients” without you realizing it.



You may get leaves or small sticks or some other objects that fall off from the tree. Call it your luck if you happen to have extra ingredients in your pan mee.

The pan mee costs between RM3.00 to RM4.30 while the luo han guo costs RM1 each.

Thus, you do not need to put in chili sauce (even though you can do that if it’s not spicy enough). To me, this is the real curry mee.



The taste is quite good which without much of the chili flavoring and the curry does taste similar to vegetarian curry too. The bowl of curry mee does come with generous portion of ingredients as you can see in the picture, pig’s blood, tau pok, long beans, cockles etc.



Besides curry mee, this stall also sells boiled baby octopus. Yes, yes… you heard me right, the eight legged thingy. There are not many places that sell baby octopus but this place is one of them. It comes with chili sauce and tnee cheoh sprinkled with grounded nuts for you to dip.

A regular bowl of curry mee costs RM2.50 while a large one is priced at RM3.00. The stall opens daily from noon till evening.
