Oh Yeah Noodle House Pelangi — Restaurant in Johor

Iced White Coffee RM 4.30 Coffee RM 3.20 Penang Hokkien Mee RM 11 Penang White Curry Noodles RM 11

The prawn noodle and white curry noodle broths are both very flavorful. The pork slices in the prawn noodle have an overnight taste, which isn’t ideal, but this doesn’t detract from the noodles or the broth. The bean sprouts and greens are crisp and refreshing. However, the egg is overcooked—ideally, a hard boiled egg should have a powdery yellow yolk without a greenish tint. This have a poor texture, with the whites turning tough and rubbery, which affects both the taste and mouthfeel. For the white curry, the cockles aren’t fresh and have a strong fishy smell, but the other ingredients are excellent. I’ve never tried pig blood curd before due to a psychological hurdle, but since they were neatly cut, I gave them a try. Their texture reminded me of slightly soft nata de coco, and there was no fishy taste at all—an impressive feat, considering how sensitive I am to such odors. I only managed to eat two pieces, but even trying them was a big step for me. The mint leaves were a brilliant touch, enhancing the flavor of the entire dish. The tofu puffs were free of any oily taste, and their ability to soak up the broth made them very appetizing. I was hoping to try the char kway teow, but unfortunately, it’s only available on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. As for the coffee, neither the regular nor the white coffee lives up to the glowing reviews. The coffee flavor is insufficient and lacks the richness I prefer. That said, taste is subjective, and while it wasn’t particularly aromatic to me, it’s still the beverage I’d choose over others on the menu. It might not fully satisfy, but it does curb cravings. The restaurant may not have luxurious decor, but it is clean, air conditioned, and comfortably cool. Even during the busy lunch hour, it feels spacious rather than cramped. The staff are polite, hardworking, and attentive, making dining here a relaxing experience. I highly recommend dining in if possible, as the bowls, cups, and even teaspoons are ceramic, making it an environmentally friendly choice. However, takeaway orders involve a lot of plastic, with bowls, cutlery and drink cups made of plastic. I hope they’ll gradually reduce their reliance on plastic...

Confession. I came here after the mild disappointment at the next door neighbor (Tian Xin Lou dim sum).

Menu is quite simple, just various toppings for the Penang prawn mee.. and I went for the most deluxe version - 霸王虾面 (order/ customize via online).

Ok, the first taste of the soup was very good, it's was robust, umami, and went well with the beehoon mee (a lot more bee hoon though).. but as I work through it.. I didn't like any of the toppings.

The 2 big prawns were overcooked, and lacking natural sweetness. The pork ribs weren't good too, it was cooked separately for a different texture/ taste and placed onto the prawn mee. There were small shrimps, lean pork slices, half and egg and the usual kangkong and bean sprouts.

By the end of the meal, I did feel rather thirsty, and thats a sign of msg, which I'm not totally against if used in moderation.

Net net, not...

I am here fore breakfast. I ordered Tea C kosong set. Kopi C set. Chee Chong fan The Tek C ko song is awful, really dilute that u can taste the sourness.y My wife had the coffee and she feels that is not great either, but I did not try, trust her comment. Bread toast, bread toast is chrispy on the outside, quite soft inside, but the bread is too thin for my liking. Butter thickness is acceptable. Soft boil eggs are very well made, just a tiny bit of translucent egg white, I really like the eggs, but I was raised with dark soya source for these eggs while Malaysia believes in light soya source. But, still love the eggs Chh Chong Fun. Bthe only thing good about it is the fried onions was spread unconditionally, love that, but the sweet source, chilli and the chew Chong fun itself, to me is a disappoinment. Unlikely, I...
