Grandma Ong Sentosa — Restaurant in Johor

I have a pet peeve - mee hun kueh should be eaten from roadside stalls or hawker stalls, not poshy airconditioned restaurants. Grandma Ong has many outlets but i chose a dusty, warm, noisy and somewhat hazardous outlet to enjoy my bowl of carbs. First, Mee Hun Kueh needs a rich, intense base of anchovies to boil a soup that is full of flavor and taste. Next, Sayur manis is the key ingredient that pairs well with the dough pieces.

Grandma Ong doesn't have ALL the ingredients i listed, but it comes close. Close enough to my heart to want a bowl of it each time i arrive...

Grandma Ong’s Hawker Stall is a hidden gem amidst a bustling sea of hawkers. Unlike their restaurant-style branch, this hawker spot offers a unique, laid-back dining experience. The charm lies in the freedom of movement—grab a seat anywhere in the free seating area and savor your food without being confined to one spot.
