Ah Koon Noodles 亚坤纯正西刀鱼丸 & Ke Ren Lai Restaurant 客人来 @ Taman Sentosa

Ah Koong Noodles 亚坤纯正西刀鱼丸 @ Taman Sentosa

Ah Koong, a symbol of fish ball noodles in Johor Bahru. Fish balls are the signature items in Ah Koong, which they claim to be "pure fishballs" and contain no preservative. Other than fishballs, they also serve various Yong Taufu, fish soup, laksa and etc.


RM6.30 for each bowl noodles
The order counter is at the entrance of the restaurant, which you can opt for your noodles of choice (ranging from yellow noodles, kuey teor, mee hoon, wanton mee, thick vermicelli or laksa noodles) and your desired ingredients to go with the noodles. If you could not decide which ingredients to choose from, just leave it to the restaurant, they will give you a perfect combination of white fishballs, fried fish balls, fish paste and yong taufu by default.  

Fishball 鱼圆  RM1.50 each
Ah Koong's fishballs deserve its reputation, as they are truly fresh made. I like the springy texture very much, but the price of RM1.50 per fishball looks a bit overpriced?
