FarFarAway: Fish Head Noodle

Speaking about Fish Head Noodle, many locals will be familiar with the milky soup, thick vermicelli and fish headm added with salted vegetable, sour plum, beancurd, tomato to enable the soury, refreshing taste. It's so savoury, tasty and appetizing.

Due to the economy of scale, we could only find it in hawker stall or food court which offers other type of noodle altogether but this fish head noodle I've found is very different.

Ikar Fish Head noodle located at Jalan Ipoh, 3 1/2 miles opposite old town and Affin Bank. It's a Fish Head Noodle specialist! Other than the traditional Fish Head Noodle, it offers Curry, creamy pumpkin, black pepper, Xiao Xin Wine (绍兴酒), creamy cheese (Ahem, my favorite), bitter gourd, spicy tom yam and seaweed. Sounds convincing already right? You can also choose from Fish Head or Fillet, Fried or plain.

Variety of Fish Head Noodles (RM7.50/bowl)

Today, I had a bowl of fish head noodle with Fried Fillet. I can't takes my eyes off from the hot steamy milky soup except the fried fillet. It look so plain than what I expected to be crispy and crunchy. However it was super fanstatic and mouth watery only after I tasted it! The crust was soft blend with the soft dory fillet makes me craving for more! The whole thing only cost me RM7.5. Perhaps due to recent rains, enjoying a bowl of hot milky Fish Head Noodle in cold breezy weather was just awesome!

Believe it or not, I get to know about this restaurant not because of Fish Head Noodle but it's porridge. It served variety of porridges and fried rice to cater more options for patrons. The porridge comes with mince meat, slice meat and meat fish ball in a big bowl at the price of hawker stall at only RM4.5 and the amount of ingredients given was fairly satisfying. Frankily I couldn't believe myself. Due to the recent market inflation, hawker food has increased it's price to the same region, but we are speaking about restaurant which offer cleaner and less indoor smokers thus a comfy environment to enjoy our food. So well.

I strongly recommend this restaurant whenever you craving for a fish head noodle. Don't be Kiasu lah, I don't get any incentives.
