I first heard about this fish head noodle at SS20 (Damansara Kim) place from my ex housemate Kerol, and soon after that, on masak-masak. Since these two ladies are known for their culinary exploits, I knew that this is surely a place that will not disappoint.
Fish Head Noodle at SS20 MBPJ Medan Selera
So together with Horng, Kerol, and TBG (who didn’t eat cos she was on diet) we made our way to Damansara Kim one Saturday for brunch.
The fish head noodle stall is located at a municipal food court (in this case, MBPJ), which translate to plastic tables and chairs under tin roof. However, the good news is that there are plenty of electric fans blowing everywhere so it was actually quite airy and pretty comfortable.
pictured menu, soya sauce with plenty of chili padi
Unlike other stalls in food courts around the country, the fish head noodle at ss20 actually provides a menu with photos of each dish offered. Here you can order Soong fish, Haruan (snake head), mackeral fish paste, and even salmon.
meehun and lay fun with fish head/meat
I ordered a bowl of Haruan fish head with meehun. The fish came in both deep fried and fresh slices and I liked them both. The soup had all the ingredients you’d expect in any proper fish head noodle – tomato, spring onion, ginger, deep fried shallots and garlic, preserved vegetable, and evaporated milk.
The noodle springy, the fish was fresh and tasty, and the soup too had all the proper mixture of taste – sweet, salty, savory all at once. I actually liked it quite a lot despite my natural preference to the fish head noodle with clear soup (Penang style).
KY, Kerol, and Horng with a bowl of glorious fish head noodle
A bowl of fish head noodle starts from RM7 (Soong fish and fish paste) to about RM 9.50 (Haruan). Side orders of fish slices and fish paste without noodle goes for RM 12. Cendol in a glass and other drinks are also served here. As with a lot of MBPJ food courts, this place is pork free.
Now who is up for some fish head noodle this weekend?

physio,
Ah, but I do like the soup and the place. True, the noodle’s a bit less and it is a bit pricier than other places.

would like to say…having tried fish head noodles in taman desa, kuchai lama, jalan tiong nam & jalan alor…this has got to be the least desired one…
agree with physio…over rated…and pricey too…for it’s type of location…

clothes,
I had the one at Taman Desa too and yah that is good, but I do still like this one though.
