Wanted to go to Teluk Cempedak for a walk in the morning, I've decided to visit this rather famous curry noodle shop that I see online.

The shop was proper busy when we reached it at almost 10am. We were quite lucky to spot an empty table rather quickly and seated ourselves, but it still took the waitress aunty quite a while to get to take our orders. From what I see, she was the only person that was in charge of taking order, arranging seating, managing the foreign workers and being the cashier. The food preparation also took a while. By the time we got our noodle, it was already 45 minutes since we arrived.

I ordered the Chicken Curry Noodle Soup with added cockles, while my gf ordered Curry Noodle Soup with Fish balls. The chicken was very tender and juicy. However, the cockles were rather tiny, which was a slight disappointment. Alongside the noodle were fish cakes and tofu pok, standards in many curry noodle.

The curry was indeed fragrant, and it is on the lighter side, and not very heavy in coconut milk. Personally, I'd prefer it to have a more creamy texture with stronger taste of coconut milk, but I enjoyed this very much nonetheless. Don't be fooled by its presentation - the portion was deceptively large, and I was completely filled after the meal.

The price of the noodle was very affordable, and it was great choice for a late breakfast. I'd recommend giving this a try, and maybe if you can reach earlier than we did, it'd be less busy and have a...

No 1 must have food to have in Kuantan, Pahang recommended by most travellers and food hunters online and offline. This famous shop located nearby the landmark of Teluk Cempedak. Signature dishes of the curry noodle been recommended to me even by locals. Spoken to the owner and found out they are origin from Penang. Yes, I am a Penangite so I tasted the Penang style! You may choose from varies noodles, from yellow noodles, vermicelli rice noodles, flatten rice noodles, or mixture of them. You may have options to add in some cockles into your curry noodles or opt out. The traditional Penang style are with the cockles so I opted in. Some locals did recommended to try their plain soup noodles perhaps I would have a try in next trip. Car parking lots are available right in front of the shop or opposite the road prepared by local councils, so do remember to pay for the parking during Monday to Saturday day times (except on public holidays) to avoid getting summons. Dine in and take-aways are available. Dine in availability been reduced due to the COVID19 SOP. However, there are some sittings at the back of the shop if you go further into the shop. Locals are good in pointing you to have a sit inside. You may have a short walk less than 3 minutes to visit the beach of Teluk Cempedak after eating here. Give me a thumb up if you read this and if this...
