Fish Head Noodle.

Latest on playlist that has been looped over and over again, songs from Khalil Fong's Second Album, This Love (though I think I am missing Track #4). Has been spreading the love yo! His blog here.


So, I was brought to the Jalan Pasar area last Saturday morning to have fish head noodle which is supposingly to be one of the more awesome ones. To be exact, the stall is located in THE lorong opposite SRJK (C) Chin Woo, next to SRK Jln Pasar, pretty easy to spot if you ask me, who is superb in getting lost woo hoo.

Oh, bet you didn't know I was from SRK Jalan Pasar (2) back in 1990-1995. Ah, bitter-sweet memories of the past, days of donning sexy white short sleeves coupled with equivalently sexy blue shorts. Just kidding. To be honest, upon reaching, I was more interested in my ex-school rather than the noodle but that's a secret between you and me okay else next time no more free food so shhhhh!


Only until the very moment when orders were placed, I got to know there's no fried version and deep down inside, I already know that this gonna be a torturous meal since I don't enjoy the boiled one very much. The torture was prolonged by 45 minutes of waiting-in-hunger-plus-stomach-grumbling even after calling them to pre-book, you tell me siao or not? The thing is, without booking, if you reach later than 9am, be prepared to head home disappointed I tell you, seriously.

Anyway, although I don't really enjoy it, I have to admit that the broth was really "sin tim" which can be loosely translated to a fresh sweetness and not forgetting the chinese wine which enhanced the taste tremendously. The generous amount of fish head spelt disaster to both Jacklyn and I, not helping that her parents actually ordered a large portion for each of us plus two smaller portions as backup. Well, at least I didn't diligently picked out every single piece of fish head no matter the size like some one else ahems. And the texture of the noodle was a little on the rough side, not to my liking.

Typical old school hawker stall setting, you don't need no signboard, you don't need no proper facilities, you don't need no comfortable environments, all you need is good food.

Red, hot, chilli plus cili padi no pepper.

Superstar, look at the generous amounts, totally a blessing if you enjoy boiled fish head very much I'm not kidding you.

Must show something revolting else my name is not Jed.


Since it was free food, I couldn't recall what the price was but I remember hearing something around 11 plus for 1 large, 1 small and 2 drinks from another customer. And all pictures above taken using my camera phone in case you wanted to know. That's all for now, I shall continue layan-ing my family members watching the Astro Talent Quest 2008, I'm rooting for Debbie to win anyway who I feel is the most talented within this bunch and ironically, her brother, who was a winner many, many years ago, is performing as a guest artists currently. It runs in the family I guess, he he he.
