Lai Kee Fish Ball Noodles Tun Aminah Johor | 来记西刀鱼圆
Lai Kee fish ball noodles 来记西刀鱼圆 is a household name in Johor Bahru, especially in Taman Ungku Tun Aminah 皇后花园 where the shop is located since 1987. Lai Kee has a strong following of loyal locals, many of whom are third generation fans who grew up eating Lai Kee fish balls. So, the shop is always busy, filled with young and old customers from open till close.
The noodles come in soup and dry version.
The bowl of dry noodles are tossed in a blend of soy sauce, lard and chili sauce. The savoury flavours are robust and some people may find it slightly too salty and oily.
Lai Kee's fish cake is usually our "Appetizer" before we have our noodles.
Lai Kee's fish balls; Never perfectly round as they are hand made. They are dense, and with every bite through the tightly packed bouncy meat, a gush of gentle fish flavour lands on pleasingly our taste buds. There was also the deep fried version of fish balls. It's the same flavour with added savouriness, same chewiness with soft leathery feel on the outside.
Price list for reference
This is one of our favourite fish ball shops in Johor. The hand made pure fish balls have just the right texture and flavour. The noodles feel and taste great. The fish cakes and bean curd crisps make good sides. Just a great old school food experience in JB.
