Triple K Cafe 牛肉面家 — Restaurant in Johor

Beef Noodle Soup = RM12.00

Pretty non-descript little Shop in Jalan Tan Hiok Nee. I have passed by this shop several times and while there aren't many customers in the Morning, it is much more popular in the Afternoon.

The Shop appears to be run by an Elderly Couple. Give their Beef Noodles Soup a try and was surprised that it was served in a Disposable Paper Bowl rather than actual Bowls. The cutlery were Non-Disposable though.

I'll be honest, while the Soup had a very nice smell of Beefy Goodness, the amount of ingredients and portion isn't alot and doesn't feel like its worth RM12.00. You get a Bowl of Soup, some Kway Teow, a few random bits of Beef Pieces with a sprinkling of Coriander. Visually it isn't very impressive.

The Soup however while not Mind-Blowing does taste very 开味 and has a sweetish taste. The 1st few spoonfuls of this Soup tasted good. However as the meal went on, I felt the Soup's Taste over-stayed its welcome and the sweetness of the Soup felt too Jelak and Sweet for me.

Beef Pieces themselves are tender to the bite but nothing especially special. Kuay Teow was certainly from a Package and while they tasted soft and smooth, wasn't also anything particularly special for me. Don't get me wrong, the dish itself isn't bad tasting, I just felt it just wasn't worth the money and the Soup is too sweetish for me.

While I don't really recommend this place, I do like how Old and Rustic the whole place felt. I guess its good for a 1 time try? I personally would not eat this again myself though.

A Culinary Journey Through Time on a Budget

Nestled in a charming old-school setting, this quaint restaurant offers a delightful escape to a bygone era. The ambiance, adorned with classic decor, sets the stage for a memorable dining experience.

What truly distinguishes this gem is not just its nostalgic charm but the exceptional value it brings to the table. To our surprise, our gastronomic journey through the menu, which included the savory masterpiece of beef noodles, the sweet revelation of butter Kaya toast, the aromatic claypot curry pork, delectable dumplings, and the exquisite fried eggs with onions, amounted to a mere 38.80 MYR.

Yes, you read it right – an entire feast of flavors for such a budget-friendly price. The beef noodles alone could easily command a higher price elsewhere, but here, quality and affordability harmonize seamlessly. The restaurant proves that exceptional culinary experiences need not strain the wallet.

In essence, this establishment not only captures the essence of old-school charm but also elevates it with a culinary prowess that leaves taste buds dancing, all while respecting the constraints of a budget.

A must-visit for those seeking an unforgettable and wallet-friendly...

17May25, Sat - we arrived at 1.17pm, ordered and ate by 1.55pm. Service is quick, and the auntie who took our orders is amiable and bilingual. The shop is rather old, and only has around 5 tables for 2-3pax each. There isn't sufficient convenient parking nearby.

Food is good and inexpensive. Our palates and tummies were satisfied! We will be back!

Char siew bun is not too sweet and different from Singapore's. I especially liked the beef noodles and butter kaya toast. Siew mai was not bad. Custard lava buns were average. Coffee is decent.

We found some black thing and hair on the side of a salted egg custard lava bun though - showed it to the auntie and she seemed apologetic but said that it came like that from the factory.

What we spent: RM46.20 @ Triple K Cafe (beef noodles thick beehoon small RM12, stewed beef brisket with radish RM15, rice RM1.50, char siew bun RM3, salted egg custard lava buns 2pcs RM5, butter and kaya toast RM2.20, kopi si kosong RM2.40, 3pcs siew...
