Uncle Duck Fishball Noodle (Jalan Pudu)

Uncle Duck Fishball Noodle (得哥鱼蛋粉）

Uncle Duck Fishball Noodle (得哥鱼蛋粉）but it doesn't sell duck :-). It is located near Pudu morning market, hence finding a parking is a challenge especially if you go on weekend mornings.  The shop looks like a traditional Hong Kong style noodle shop, probably the owner is from Hong Kong.  Walking into the shop will also remind you of the typical kopitiams in Hong Kong.



The fish balls are quite bouncy and nice and one bowl serves quite a number of fish balls.  Soup tasted a bit fishy though.

细蓉, which means Wan Tan Noodle in Hong Kong.  The noodle's texture is rather al dente although it has a slight hint of boric acid taste.  The dumplings are relatively big with prawns inside, along with a soup base that includes dried prawns, giving it a special and delicious alternative.

 

Soup noodle comes with a slice of fried fish skin. The fish+meat balls taste better than the fish ball.  The soup base is rather bland though.



You will be able to find a lot of interesting shops around the old Pudu area, such as this wholesale snacks store right opposite Uncle Duck Fishball Noddle.

WILL WE COME BACK? - Maybe.  (Whilst the fish balls' textures are nice, the noodles and soup base (except for dumpling soup) is disappointing.  Nevertheless, there are other dishes (rice-based, dishes-to-order, etc) that have not been tried yet.

It was a surprise to find this new restaurant nested within a light industrial area in PJ 51A.  The place gives a cozy feeling with light jazzy music and a wall of wine bottles with nostalgic-type pictures at the side, which fits the name of the restaurant ... "The Blue Room".  It is comfortable sitting and enjoying the meal in there.  This is a conducive environment for some private and chilled gathering.  The staffs were quite friendly as well.  There are also sitting arrangements on the second floor that overlooks some parts of the ground floor for some added privacy.  Most of the dishes on the menu are porky-related and it can be enjoyed with their selection of wines.

 

The mushroom soup tastes decent with a slice of bacon and bread.  The strongness of the mushroom taste can be further improved whilst a few more chunky mushroom cubes would be good as well.  The bacon is a nice addition to enhance the taste of the soup.

The first impression of the Grilled Pork Steak is normal enough, but one bite into the tender and juicy meat will definitely impress, truly enjoyable.  The marination is sufficient with enough balance between meat and fats that blends well.  The accompanying sauce is not much to shout about, but still gave a nice touch to the meat.  Not to forget is the balsamic vinegered-salad at the side, which will balance the meaty taste bud.

The lunch set comes with a complimentary lemon tea drink (hot or cold) using Twinings tea.  It shows the restaurant does not compromise on their food quality.

WILL WE COME BACK? - Yes

(nice food with a nice ambience.  We hope the dinner session is accompanied with a live jazz band, probably something to check out in our next trip there.)
