Taman Tasek Kway Teow Kia, Johor Bahru 南滨园粿条仔

Jalan Tasek, Taman Tasek, Johor Bahru • 7am - 2pm (Sun, Mon off) 

✍️18 Apr 2024. Taman Tasik Kway Teow Kia, I haven't been here for a very long time.

Glad to see that the Lee couple running the stall are healthy, in good spirits and doing well. Their son is now helping at the forty year old stall (founded in 1984).

I like it that Taman Tasik Kway Teow Kia has a good range of braised offal and pork which includes small intestine, large intestine, fallopian tube, colon, stomach, lung, heart, tongue, skin, belly, ears, etc. 

Take what you are comfortable with. I've tried them all, and they are all good, in my opinion 😊 

Spongy soft gently savoury lungs.

The skin thick and soft tender.

Braised savoury fried chicken feet. The soft leathery fried skin fall off the bone like a loose wrinkled old glove. Soft to the bite with a bit of soft spongy tendon and soft rough fried skin. Nice.

Nice preserved vegetables stewed in herbal savoury sauce and lard.

The slender kway teow kia noodles were generic, slightly thick but slurpy soft, wet with the gently herbal savoury sauce.

The aromatic shallots were fried in house - I always appreciate those hawkers who go the extra mile to fry their own shallots fresh rather than buy factory made from suppliers.

The Lees are proud of their quite robust savoury spicy zesty house made chili sauce which go very well with their gently herbal savoury braised offal.

Made this fun video at Taman Tasik Kway Teow Kia. Teasing Gary, Penang boy who grew up in Vancouver, Canada. First time tasting some of the exotic braised porcine anatomy.

Producer say I should wear a Hawaiian shirt 🙄

Found this old video of Coby Chong at Taman Tasik Kway Teow Kia in 2013. This was my first time on TV as Johor Kaki. Braved through it in Mandarin, as I never spoke Mandarin in my working life.

Lots of choices of ingredients. Braising stock mild and light in spices and soy sauce. Offal and meat are braised till soft. Has a loyal local following. 

Taman Tasik Kway Teow Kia worth a many visits.

I love the big old tree shading this hawker centre but it has been heavily trimmed.

✍ 6 Jul 2012. Tasek Guo Tiau Zi 果条仔 (kway teow kia) has been in business in Taman Tasek for over 30 years and has a loyal following from Malaysia and Singapore.

Many of my JB friends and readers who are fans of Taman Tasek kway teow kia are adament that this is simply the best kway teow kia stall in JB. They are the ones whom when asked where is the best kway teow kia in JB, will answer instantly "Taman Tasek!" with an exclamation mark!

I tried Tasek kway teow kia yesterday and sure enough joined its fans - I liked it very much too. The feel of the taste and flavours was delicate, understated, subtle, mild, and gentle on the taste buds  -  classy, lah. And all these delicious food for RM31 (2012 price).

At Taman Tasek Kway Teow Kia, the different innards are braised separately in a different pot, so we can taste the unique flavour and texture of each type of innards. (The average stalls simply dump everything into just one large pot and every part tastes pretty much the same as any other.)

Let's take a closer look at a sampling of what we ate.

The pork intestines were thoroughly and perfectly cleaned, and beautifully braised till smooth, soft yet still retaining that gentle spring.

The braised pig's skin was soft and smooth like baby's skin, I dare say.



Excellent soft preserved vegetable in braising sauce. That lovely herbal taste with a nice balance of subtly savoury and sweet.

Tasty soft, porous tofu that sponged up loads of flavourful braising sauce.

Fried-then-braised chicken feet that is lightly browned and subtly herbal.

The kway teow kia in a tasty, clear, drinkable mildly herbal broth perfumed with aromatic shallot oil and bits of fried shallot crackles.

The kway teow kia is smooth, tender and complements the pork innards perfectly. I had two bowls of this 😄

Look who visited Taman Tasek kway teow kia. Tasek KTK was one of the JB hawkers featured on the NTV7's, 13 part TV series "Foodie Blogger 爱食客" hosted by award winning artiste Coby Chong 庄可比. The premiere episode featuring Johor hawkers was televised nationwide on NTV7 on 17 Mar 2013.

Guo Tiau Zi 果条仔 Tasek is definitely a Must Try for kway teow kia (kway chap) lovers.

And, I need to go back for these braised eggs which I somehow missed.
