Kuay Tiaw Zabb — Restaurant in Malacca

Restaurant Review: Kuey Tiow Zap

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Kuey Tiow Zap, and it was a memorable experience that exceeded my expectations. This restaurant truly knows how to bring authentic flavors to the table in a way that feels both comforting and exciting.

The atmosphere at Kuey Tiow Zap is cozy and inviting, with a casual vibe that’s perfect for a relaxed meal. The staff was friendly and attentive, quick to greet us and always available to answer questions or make recommendations. It’s clear they care about creating a positive dining experience.

The star of the show, of course, was the food. We started with a bowl of their signature Kuey Tiow Soup, a rich, aromatic broth filled with perfectly cooked noodles and fresh ingredients. The depth of flavor in the broth was impressive; you could tell it was made from scratch with high-quality ingredients. The dish was beautifully balanced, with a subtle blend of spices that added warmth without overpowering the natural flavors.

For the main course, I opted for the Seafood Kuey Tiow Stir-Fry. The noodles were slightly charred, which gave them a smoky, delicious flavor that perfectly complemented the fresh seafood. Each bite was packed with a variety of textures, from tender shrimp to crispy vegetables, and the seasoning was spot-on. It was a dish that felt authentic and satisfying.

To finish, I tried their Thai Iced Tea, which was sweet and refreshing—a perfect contrast to the rich, savory dishes. It was a small but thoughtful addition that made the meal feel complete.

Overall, Kuey Tiow Zap is a must-visit for anyone craving delicious, well-prepared Thai-inspired dishes. The combination of great food, friendly service, and a welcoming atmosphere makes it a place I’ll be returning to soon. Highly...

This is a restaurant mainly selling Thailand food, or basically Thailand cuisine. Inside the restaurant, it is a little bit stuffy and I have no idea why. They do provide air-conditioner but for me, it's not fully comfortable for me, especially when you order spicy food there haha...

For the food quality, I would say it's good. I ordered their Tomyam Spicy Fried Rice and it was scrumptious, even though was spicy. I call that "sensation" when eating Thai food. For those who seek after spiciness in their food, this is a great place to try out. They have tons of food options and one of my favourites is the pork stick. For the rice or noodles, you have the options to choose either with chicken, pork or seafood. This is great for many people who have different appetites.

Note that this shop is NOT HALAL.

The hygiene of the shop is acceptable. The toilets are clean and there is no any foul smell in the restaurant.

For their food prices, in my honest opinion, I think that it's reasonable. Having a Tomyam Fried Rice for RM9.90, it's still much cheaper than some other restaurants out there. Do note that the restaurant does come with a 6% of SST. Therefore, your final bill is gonna multiply with 1.06.

Verdict: This is a recommended restaurant if you wanna try out Thai food. I believe that this restaurant has gained some popularity in the past and it is still serving the people just fine. Spicy food lovers,...

Huge crowd when we went and long queue however as we went away and walk around without finding anything else more interesting, we managed to get seated almost immediately.

The boat noodles with thickened soup taste awesome with heavy beef soup like taste however I believe it is pork based which makes it all the more interesting. It also has a slight hint of peanut/ground nut taste as there was some mixed in.

Environment is nice, and you'll get to Smell great cooking around you as all their dishes smells really good.

pricing is a tad on the higher side specially in Malacca, and portion is a bit smaller than my own preference (I have a huge appetite) however I believe the portion would be most right and may even be a bit filling for most girls who don't eat much. The aroma, and taste of the food more than makes up for the pricing which I think is still very reasonable/acceptable.

Would highly recommend this place for authentic...
