[Old Klang Road, Kuala Lumpur] Happy Garden Fish Head Mee Hoon @ Choy Kei Coffee Shop
By Elin Chow - Tuesday, January 17, 2023
Tried the Happy Garden Fish Head Bee Hoon stall at Choy Kei Coffee Shop as we happened to be in the vicinity of Happy Garden the other day. The coffee shop is located in the Jalan Lazat residential area at Old Klang Road.
Parking can be difficult to find here, especially during peak hours. There are several food
stalls at Choy Kei Coffee Shop, and one of them is Fish Head Bee Hoon. The
stall is very popular with the local residents, and there was usually a
constant and stream of people waiting to get their hands on a bowl of it.
A basic bowl of Fish Paste or Fish Head Mee Hoon costs RM 13. The portion of noodles and fish were generous. However, the
broth, which was derived from evaporated milk, sliced tomatoes, preserved
vegetables, ginger, spring onions and fried fish head chunks or fish paste, was not to our
liking. There was too much wine added to the broth, which made it taste too
sweet and tangy. It was also a little too salty.
The Fried Fish Head were good though. They were fresh, aromatic and crispy to the bite. Most importantly, there was no fishy smell.
The Fish Paste was so-so. Nothing to shout about. I actually find them too soft and not springy. Personally, I prefer Fish Paste with a firmer bite and a springy consistency.
Seriously, I don't know why their Fish Head Bee Hoon is so popular. I guess it's all down to personal preference. Prices are a bit on the high side but still acceptable. The coffee shop is not really a comfortable place to eat. It was very hot and stuffy.
Other than Fish Head Mee Hoon, another popular stall is Pork Noodles. I would probably try the Pork Noodles if I come here again next time.
