Chef Pong Dumpling, Halal — Restaurant in Kelantan

After multiple visits, it’s by far my favorite place to get comfort food! The dumpling soup is divine, with the broth being absolutely perfect. The fried yong tau fu pairs wonderfully with the dumpling soup.

We also usually get a plate of fried rice or fried kuetiau to share.

Don’t forget to have canned herbal tea if you plan on having a cold beverage. It’s absolutely delicious!

We’re big fans of Chef Pong Dumpling!

First Visit

We went for dinner. The restaurant wasn’t crowded and had plenty of seating. We ordered fried yong tau fu, dumpling soup, chee cheong fun, fried noodles, and fried kuetiau.

Here’s what we loved about this eatery: The fried yong tau fu is great! It’s fried to perfection—crunchy and flavorful. We really like the dumpling soup. The wrapper-to-meat ratio is spot on, and the broth is light and clean. The service is fast. It took less than 10 minutes to get all of our orders.

However, we have a few suggestions for Chef Pong: The fried noodles (mi goreng) are too dry and starchy. The noodles should be cooked longer or rinsed in hot water before frying. All the good flavors went into the eggs and tofu instead of the noodles. We would love it if Chef Pong could serve authentic chee cheong fun. Right now, it’s just a thick rice noodle roll with yong tau fu sauce.

Overall, it’s the perfect comfort food for us. We would come back because this is one of the few places that serves halal...

SUPERR GOOD Halal authentic local Chinese hawker food! I consider this the best Halal Chinese hawker food eatery in town! absolutely love their Yong Tau Foo & Kuey Teow Goreng. these two are my absolute favourite comfort foods, and I could eat those two dishes every day😃. it really is super good as it is cooked by a local Chinese Muslim chef, Chef Pong himself😁. place is also okay and cosy to eat, especially with the superb comfort food on your table😁. service is okay and price is okay too. location is also nice nearby Kota Bharu Chinatown, Kebun Sultan, so it is easy to go for those searching for good Chinese food in town! overall, really good experience here with super good comfort food, one of my all-time favourites haha😃 should come and definitely...

their dumpling can be served either soup or fried. I've tried both of them. if prefer crunchy and crispy can request for fried and will be served with sweet&spicy sauce for dipping. for clear taste or 'kuah' with be served with clean, healthy and simple of white brooth soup. there were also have fried food, mee curry, bihun soup,chee cheong fun.
