Kway Teow Kia @ Woon Kiang in Stulang, Johor Bahru, Malaysia 汶強粿條仔

Woon Kiang is one of the most mentioned Johor Bahru kway teow kia shops on the Internet. So I went to Stulang Laut, where it is located to see what the rage is all about.

Wow, all the good things they say about Woon Kiang are well deserved.

The pork innards here are naturally sweet, tender and not salty. When I chew on it, it felt refreshingly sweet, creamy and smoky.

I liked the kway teow noodles so much that I ordered a second round

To me, Woon Kiang’s kway teow noodle is a real winner. It is so smooth and soft, and it has a clean, fresh taste.

For the noodle part of kway teow kia, my favourite is at Woon Kiang KTK in Stulang, JB. The slurpy rice noodles were done just right - tenderly soft with a bit of gentle spring to the bite. The rice noodles sit mostly submerged in a dark pool of well balanced savoury sweet soup laced with flavours and aromas from lard and oil ( infused with fried shallots). Garnish of spring onion, lard cracklings and fried shallot crisps made the noodles even more alluring. I always have two servings of this rice noodles at Woon Kiang Kway Teow Kia. https://johorkaki.blogspot.com/2012/03/kway-teow-kia-woon-kiang-in-stulang.html

It is also not over loaded with lard but garnished instead with shallot oil, fried shallot and pork crackles. The shallot and pork crackles stay crispy even after dunking in the braising sauce.

The braising sauce itself is light and has a subtle herbal aroma. It too is not salty or oily. Even after two bowls of the kway teow noodles with braising sauce, I did not feel jelak (bloated and sickened).

The chili and garlic sauce also deserves mention. It is fresh, spicy hot and brings out the delightful flavours and taste of the innards.

The set of innards, plus two servings of kway teow noodles come to RM7. I also had a glass of plain iced water which the boss waived the charge. The boss and his workers are so friendly and earnest in customer service ☻

Woon Kiang also serves braised duck which is very popular as well. I must come back for the duck, and an encore of the kway teow noodles ☻

Woon Kiang KTK is one of stalwarts of JB kway teow kia. Founded nearly 85 years ago at the wet market beside Sungai Segget in Old downtown Johor Bahru, it moved to the (now demolished) 15 storey flats, before settling at its present address at Stulang Laut. Woon Kiang is the third generation owner of the historic stall founded by his grandfather who landed in Malaya in the 1930s from Chao Shan, China. https://johorkaki.blogspot.com/2012/03/kway-teow-kia-woon-kiang-in-stulang.html
