Ah Chuan in JB is One of my Favourite Fish Soup Stalls 阿全鱼湯⭐⭐⭐⭐

Ah-Chuan-Fish-Soup-阿全鱼湯

If you have been following my blog, you will know that I am a big fan of simple fish soups. I find a good bowl of fish soup with a bowl of plain white rice very satisfying and comforting. One of my favourites is Ah Chuan in Johor Bahru - it is just a small stall in Starfood coffee shop in Taman Pelangi where the (Monday and Thursday) morning market is located (so parking can be challenging on those days).

Taiping Sepetang Fish Porridge in Taman Ungku Tun Aminah 太平十八丁鱼粥

Taiping-Sepetang-Taman-Ungku-Tun-Aminah-太平十八丁鱼粥

Fish soup is one of my favourite guilt free dishes as it is healthy without sacrificing taste (relatively speaking.. lah). So, I am very happy when I come across Taiping Sepetang Fish Porridge in TUTA Johor Bahru - it's nice 😋

I came to Choi Ngiap fish head bee hoon shop 财叶鱼头米粉 at Jalan Ah Siang after seeing buddy Andy's Facebook post. I love simple, old school fish soups 😋

Chef Ong Salmon Fish Head Soup & Sashimi 三文鱼头鱼片汤 JK1497

Chef-Ong-Salmon-Fish-Head-Soup-Sashimi-三文鱼头鱼片汤

My JB buddy Jeff has been feeding me a lot of tips about where to find good eats in Johor Bahru. He told me that I should check out Chef Ong's restaurant in Permas Jaya which specialises in salmon dishes.

Johor Bahru Kebun Teh Seng Huat Fish Soup 成发

Kebun-Teh-Seng-Huat-Fish-Soup-成发

Updated 29 May 2019. Visited the fish soup stall at Jalan Kebun Teh Lama today. This was one of the first places I blogged about in Johor Kaki (in Jan 2012, the first month of Johor Kaki). 

榕树下果条 (成发). 汤头够味. 鱼肉新鲜又甜. 酱油够香. 好吃. 价格公道. 环境特别. 不妨试试.

Giant Grouper Fish in Pontian Johor 阿富魚湯小炒 龍膽之家

Giant-Grouper-Fish-Pontian-Johor-阿福魚湯小炒 龍膽之家

Driving along the familiar main road towards Kukup, I noticed a street side stall directly across the road from Lee Biscuits which I have not seen before. The stall looked well patronised, and the big fish on the stall's banner got us curious enough to swing the car around to check out the new kid in town.

Mee Hoon Kueh & Ban Mian at Teck Lai 德来 in Taman Gaya, Johor Bahru

Mee-Hoon-Kueh-Ban-Mian-Teck-Lai-德来-Taman-Gaya-Johor-Bahru

We paid a visit to Teck Lai in Taman Gaya yesterday - one of my favourite places for mee hoon kueh in Johor Bahru. I like Teck Lai's mee hoon kway and ban mian which is served with fish soup loaded with fried fish and tofu.

Fish-Soup-Economic-Bee-Hoon-Guang-Xing-Long-Johor-Bahru-JB-廣兴隆茶餐室

We were back at busy Guang Xing Long kopitiam. Just the morning before, we were here to try out the beef noodle stall. I spotted the fish soup stall just next to the beef noodles and decided to check it out today as fish soup is one of my favourite dishes.

Healthful and delicious mah ;-D


Fish-Soup-Economic-Bee-Hoon-Guang-Xing-Long-Johor-Bahru-JB-廣兴隆茶餐室

The fish soup stall is run singlehandedly by Ah Lai 亞來. It's a one-man-operation. Ah Lai takes orders, cooks, delivers, and collects money. As his fish soup is popular with locals, Ah Lai is very, very busy.

Being a hawker is very hard work.

The RM7 bowl of fish soup.

Fish-Soup-Economic-Bee-Hoon-Guang-Xing-Long-Johor-Bahru-JB-廣兴隆茶餐室

It's a simple pork bone broth with mild well balanced savoury sweet flavours. The tender strips of fresh black snapper 黑鯛魚 were naturally flavoursome.

There were also slices of fresh red snapper 紅鯛魚.

We also had a bowl of fish head soup for RM7.

Ah Lai ran out of my favourite fish eyes, so I had to settle for jaws and lips :-D

Fish-Soup-Economic-Bee-Hoon-Guang-Xing-Long-Johor-Bahru-JB-廣兴隆茶餐室

I love the fish skin and gelatinous parts from the fresh fish head.

Crunchy fresh greens.

While waiting for our fish soup, we couldn't resist the aroma as lady boss Yvonne from the economic bee hoon stall fries a wok full of steamy rice vermicelli.

Fish-Soup-Economic-Bee-Hoon-Guang-Xing-Long-Johor-Bahru-JB-廣兴隆茶餐室

It quickly dawned on us that a plate of freshly fried bee hoon with sunny side up is the perfect pairing for the fish soup :-D

Fish-Soup-Economic-Bee-Hoon-Guang-Xing-Long-Johor-Bahru-JB-廣兴隆茶餐室

The bee hoon was moist, saturated with the sauce used to fry the rice vermicelli and was not too soft - it had just the right texture for me.

Guang Xing Long 廣兴隆茶餐室 is a good pit stop for breakfast if you are in the Bukit Indah area in the morning.

Kway Teow Soup and Fish Soup Stall at Hong Yee Kopitiam 宏艺 in Taman Desa Tebrau, Johor Bahru

Tony invited me to visit his kway teow and fish soup stall at Hong Yee Kopitiam 宏艺 in Taman Desa Tebrau.

Kway-Teow-Soup-Fish-Soup-Stall-Hong-Yee-Kopitiam-宏艺-Taman-Desa-Tebrau-Johor-Bahru

Hong Yee 宏艺 in Taman Desa Tebrau is a typical bustling kopitiam with many busy food stalls.

Kway-Teow-Soup-Fish-Soup-Stall-Hong-Yee-Kopitiam-宏艺-Taman-Desa-Tebrau-Johor-Bahru

Tony and his wife Sally run the (no name) fish soup and kway teow soup stall here at Hong Yee 宏艺. Tony had been a chef for many years - a profession that took him to Neptune at the old Clifford Pier in Singapore and Pine Court in Mandarin Singapore. Tony and Sally also lived a few years in Taipei where Tony worked in a restaurant specializing in Malaysian food.

While in Taipei, Tony was invited to demonstrate how to cook bak kut teh and assam fish on a Taiwanese TV show.

Kway-Teow-Soup-Fish-Soup-Stall-Hong-Yee-Kopitiam-宏艺-Taman-Desa-Tebrau-Johor-Bahru

Tony makes his broth the old way, with big socket bones, pork trotter, ti poh (dried sole fish) and soy bean.

Tony's 4 year old stall is a small operation. He gets most of his ingredients at the Johor Jaya wet market, just like we do :D

Kway-Teow-Soup-Fish-Soup-Stall-Hong-Yee-Kopitiam-宏艺-Taman-Desa-Tebrau-Johor-Bahru

RM8 got us this fully loaded bowl of kway teow soup with fried "chicken fish" (leather jacket fish 鸡鱼), tau ki, fish balls, lean pork slices, liver slices, a shell fish slice, a good size prawn and lettuce. 

Kway-Teow-Soup-Fish-Soup-Stall-Hong-Yee-Kopitiam-宏艺-Taman-Desa-Tebrau-Johor-Bahru

Other than the shell fish which is canned and the fish balls which were commercially supplied, all the rest of the ingredients like this good size prawn were market bought.

Kway-Teow-Soup-Fish-Soup-Stall-Hong-Yee-Kopitiam-宏艺-Taman-Desa-Tebrau-Johor-Bahru

The broth was tasty with savouriness and sweetness from pork bones and seafood. The soup was medium bodied and relatively clear .

Kway-Teow-Soup-Fish-Soup-Stall-Hong-Yee-Kopitiam-宏艺-Taman-Desa-Tebrau-Johor-Bahru

We also had this fish head bee hoon soup RM7.50.


Kway-Teow-Soup-Fish-Soup-Stall-Hong-Yee-Kopitiam-宏艺-Taman-Desa-Tebrau-Johor-Bahru

There was a generous amount of chunky tender pieces of fresh snapper fish meat in the broth.

Kway-Teow-Soup-Fish-Soup-Stall-Hong-Yee-Kopitiam-宏艺-Taman-Desa-Tebrau-Johor-Bahru

The broth was heavy bodied, savoury and naturally sweet. (Tony uses a separate and different broth for his kway teow soup and fish soup.) The broth was tasty though my personal preference is for a clearer looking 清 broth. Tony added fried shallot oil to the broth, so it had that 葱油香 (shallot oil aroma and flavour).

If you are a chili lover, remember to try Tony's homemade sambal chili. It's very spicy hot with savoury notes from belacan (fermented shrimp paste).

If you are around the Taman Desa Tebrau area during breakfast or lunch time, Tony's Kway Teow and Fish Soup Stall is a good option.

Tony declined payment for our meal.
