Pork Organ Soup Perling Johor Bahru 金岭美食阁世纪好味猪杂汤 JK1463

Back this morning at 世纪好味 at Kim Ling coffee shop in Taman Perling, to one of my favourite pork organ soup stalls. One of my favourite dishes, there aren't as many pork organ soup stalls in JB compared to Singapore. Fortunately, there is a good one like 世纪好味.

位于 Taman Perling, Jalan Simbang 金岭美食阁的世纪好味有带有古早味的猪杂汤. 世纪好味的汤头酸咸甜香, 猪杂如猪肝，心脏，肠, 舌等等都够软, 清鲜甜美. 喜欢猪杂汤和猪内脏的朋友可以试试.  早市.

联姐 Yong Tau Foo 酿豆腐 Stall @ Kim Ling 金岭 Kopitiam in Taman Perling, Johor Bahru

联姐 who runs the popular kia teow kia stall at Kim Ling kopitiam in Taman Perling, also runs the yong tau foo 酿豆腐 stall.

联姐's Hakka styled yong tau foo stall serves an extensive range of yong tau foo and fried tofu. Everything at 联姐 is home-made.

The generous fresh fish stuffing in 联姐's yong tau foo pieces were light and sweet. Let's take a look at what's available.

Customers can pick any combination of these yong tau foo pieces and have them served in a savoury blended sauce of sweet, spicy and salty flavours, or in a tasty soup. 

This time, I opted for the soup. The popular deep fried tofu skin were still crunchy even after soaking up loads of tasty broth.

The slightly cloudy soup base was made with soy beans, stock bones and anchovies.

I had "mouse" noodles 老鼠粉 for a change.

Kim Ling kopitiam is a convenient spot for group meals as it offers a wide variety of good hawker fare - there is something for everyone. Ample seating, indoors, al fresco and there is also an air conditioned section. 联姐's Yong Tau Foo stall adds to Kim Ling's already wide range of food choices available.

德记 Chicken Rice @ Kim Ling 金岭 Coffee Shop in Taman Perling, Johor Bahru

聯姐 Kway Teow Kia @ Kim Ling 金岭 Coffee Shop in Taman Perling, Johor Bahru, Malaysia

Recently, I had been featuring Kim Ling 金岭 coffee shop because I like the variety and quality of the many hawker stalls there. Readers suggested that I also try 聯姐 kway teow kia stall at Kim Ling 金岭.

I am glad that I made a trip to Kim Ling this morning on my readers' suggestion. 聯姐 kway teow kia is very good, indeed.

There are many things that I like about 聯姐 kway teow kia stall.

First of all, I like the the ordering system here - it is simple and transparent. The different cuts of pork offal, meat and types of additional ingredients like braised eggs and fried tofu skin are all displayed at the front. The customer just picks the pieces that s/he likes and knows exactly how much s/he has to pay. Great system!

The fried tofu skin is very popular as it soaks up the braising sauce like a sponge. This is delicious as it stays crunchy even when saturated with braising sauce.

聯姐's braised eggs are hot sellers.

Intestines are staples at kway teow kia stalls. At 聯姐, the delicious intestines are thoroughly cleaned.

Pork tongue, my favourite. 聯姐's sweet pork tongue has a certain crunchiness that made it the best that I've tasted.

Soft, tender and tasty braised pig's skin.

Crunchy braised pork ears.

Beautiful belly pork, braised to perfection.

Braised tofu, the favourite of many.

To me, the soul of kia teow kia is its braising sauce. I love 聯姐's braising sauce. The braising sauce has body yet light. It is delicately herbal, hints only of slight saltiness and is naturally sweet. This is definitely one my favourites.

All the customers' orders get a hot dip in the boiling braising sauce before serving.

Soft and smooth kway teow kia in a delicate herbal broth that is tasty, not too salty nor oily. For many people, one bowl is not enough.

Here comes our orders.

Other "normal" people's orders.

I was a little greedy, threw caution to the wind, and just gleefully picked a mix of things I liked. Hahaha..., the food arrived in a heap which I had to finish by myself. Fortunately, that wasn't too hard as everything was delicious J.

聯姐 is highly recommended for kway teow kia (kway chap) lovers.

You Char Kway 油炸粿 @ Kim Ling 金岭 Coffee Shop in Taman Perling, Johor Bahru

I was enjoying my char kway teow and kopi o kaw, when I caught sight of this you char kway 油炸粿 stall just outside Kim Ling 金岭 coffee shop.

I was captivated, watching the entire process of the stall owner kneading the dough at the front of the stall, frying the dough in a wok of boiling hot oil, and selling the freshly fried fritters right there, on the spot.

The stall is an OMO i.e. one man operation. The stall owner MR Koay makes the dough, fries it, and sells it - everything all by himself, without any help.

Well, not exactly. You see, MR Koay encourages his customers to just take what they like at RM0.60 a piece and drop the money by themselves into a plastic ice cream tub. MR Koay also encouraged his customers to take their own change by dipping into the tub themselves. Everything is done on an honour system. Well, as far as I could see this system worked pretty well, here.

I couldn't resist trying MR Koay's fried goodies. As this is a OMO stall, MR Koay sells only 4 types of fried fritters.

The you char kway 油炸粿 was crispy outside, and inside they were chewy and fluffy. It did not have that heavy greasy feel and aftertaste on the tongue that I sometimes got from eating you char kway elsewhere.

MR Koay offers a soft and chewy plain ham chim peng which is a blend of savoury, delicate salty and sweet. MR Koay also has the same soft and chewy ham chim peng with sweet red bean paste filling inside.

These are MR Koay's own version of butterfly dough fritters. Unlike the usual buttery fritters, these have a hole in the middle. MR Koay cheekily calls these his 开心果 because they look like "fruit with a hole" and 开心果 sounds like "happy fruit" in Mandarin.

Fried dough fritters are a versatile food. They can be eaten on their own with a beverage like coffee, or they can go with any of the other food sold at Kim Ling 金岭 coffee shop.

There are many stalls at Kim Ling serving a wide variety of hawker fare including pork organ soup 猪杂汤, kway tiao kia (kway chap), Penang char kway teow, yong tau foo, vegetarian 素食 food, chicken rice, chee cheong fun, mixed vegetable rice 经济饭菜, and more.

The hawker stalls at Kim Ling open from 7:00am to about 2:00pm. In the evening, a zhi char stall takes over.
