Ho Seng Kee (何成記), City Square, Johor Bahru

Ho Seng Kee (何成記), City Square, Johor Bahru

I've heard good things about Ho Seng Kee (J6-07, Level 6, Johor Bahru City Square 106, Jalan Wong Ah Fook Johor Bahru 80000, tel : +60 12 710 7140). So after the excruciating clearance at the JB side of the customs, we made it our first destination for lunch to see if it were as good as the buzz. Lo and behold! It was awesome.

We ordered a couple of bowls. One of the original flavour and the spicy black. Both were good but if we had to pick which we preferred, it'll be the original; which had what I discerned was sesame oil, lard and maybe something like a light soya sauce for that light saltiness. The texture of their brand of egg noodles (which I hear is made fresh daily) was deliciously chewy and free from lye flavour.

Those bowls came with a few wantons underneath the noodles. The dumplings were smooth, substantial and meaty; also flavoured with pepper. Those fried versions were the same except for those greasy (but tasty) crispy skin. 

They're be introducing pandan flavoured noodles in a couple of months so we'll definitely be looking forward to that.
