As a Singaporean working in KL for the last 6-odd years, ZZ Sup Tulang Restaurant would be the most traditional Malay restaurant I have been to in Malaysia, without the airs experienced in most modern Malay restaurants. Nestled in one of the oldest kampongs I was told by the Grabbie who brought me there, ZZ Sup Tulang Restaurant sits under a cluster of large trees probably centuries old that added ambient flavour to what would probably be one of the most delicious Mee Rebus and Mee Soto I have ever had.
Ordering was easy, through QR code. Within 10 mins, my first order of Mee Rebus Gearbox and Daging was served. 2 sticks of Tulang sat over a small bed of yellow noodles, green chillies and gooey spiced sweet potato gravy. Although there were more soft gristle and tendon rather than meat on the Tulang, and the Daging seemed to be absent (but I didn't complain), it was still a wonderful plate of Mee Rebus - one of the best I have ever savoured. π
I ordered an extra piece of Begedil (potato cake), which by itself was nothing exceptional, but it transformed into a great accompaniment when swum in the Mee Rebus gravy.
My only complaint was that the Mee Rebus was served lukewarm, rather than piping hot - the way I like my food, especially for Mee Rebus served in Singapore.
After finishing the Mee Rebus, I wasn't satisfied so I ordered Mee Soto with an extra serving of Daging and Chicken. This time, the Daging was abundantly present. The Mee Soto was nothing short of delicious as well. Unlike the KL version, the Soto soup was packed with rempah-spices and flavourful. To say that the Mee Soto was packed with umami goodness would be an understatement. π
Service staff was courteous, and unlike most Malay restaurants that I had been to in KL, the service staff here spoke English quite well, and answered my every need. π
I did use Google Translate to show off my Bahasa Melayu, but I embarrassed myself when the service staff started conversing to me in English... πππ
Will I be back again? Most definitely yes, the next time I visit JB, which will be more often...
