Hung Kitchen 韩小厨. Western Cuisine in Kampung Ungku Mohsin Johor Bahru

Hung Kitchen 韩小厨. Western Cuisine in Kampung Ungku Mohsin Johor Bahru

You know right, decades ago we used to hang out a lot at restaurant chains like Jacks Place and The Ship for family and budget friendly Western meals. Hung Kitchen 韩小厨 is like a Jacks Place or The Ship but more charming to me as it is set in a kampung (village) 😄 It's probably the only Western food restaurant in a village in Malaysia.

The restaurant is an extension of the Hung family home along Jalan Ahad in Kampung Ungku Mohsin.

The simply furnished restaurant is clean, cool and comfortable inside. Hung Kitchen is very popular with locals for simple nice food at affordable prices. It is very busy during lunch as many people working in the factories and offices around here have their work day meal at Hung Kitchen.

The menu and daily specials are displayed just outside the kitchen.

Write your choices and table number on the order slip and the lady boss will take it to the kitchen. She will deliver the dishes to your table when it is ready, just like in any restaurant. Good right?

We started with a Hainanese Chicken Chop (price RM9).

The batter was crumbly and crispy. The thin slab of chicken was tender and juicy.

The fried chicken chop was well complemented by the savoury sweet subtly tangy ketchup sauce.

Grilled Chicken with Mushroom Sauce (price RM9).

The slab of chicken was tender and juicy. It tasted savoury sweet with a bit of toastiness (from the slight char outside). The brown sauce (with real mushrooms) added savoury mushroomy taste to the chicken. I like this a lot.

Sirloin Steak with Black Pepper Sauce (price RM30).

Lady boss asked me how I like my steak done. She said most customers request 七分熟 70% doneness. I asked for 四分熟 40% doneness (which I meant medium rare).

The steak was tender and juicy but slightly chewy. Beefiness was slight with most flavours coming from the savoury peppery sauce. This is probably the best steak one can get for RM30 nett in today's market.

We also had the chicken rice set which was the special of the day (price RM6.50).

The chicken meat was tender and juicy. It tasted savoury sweet with natural chicken flavour.

Average quality grains only but the rice was nicely done with the tender fluffiness well infused with chicken flavour and aromatics.
