Last week while doing some work on the new house, we found ourselves at Taman Berkeley looking for something to eat for lunch and spotted this unassuming hawker stall at Restoran Taman Berkeley that offers beef noodle.
Tongkak beef noodle stall at Restoran Taman Berkeley
The banner outside stated “tongkak beef noodle”, which didn’t mean anything to me initially until I recalled that a friend told me her hometown serves the best beef noodle, and she’s from Tangkak. So naturally I’m assuming Tangkak = Tongkak in hawker style spelling (that or it infringes on some other places’ copyright).
We ordered two bowls.
glorious beef noodle
Both the soup and the dry version are very similar. You get to choose from kuih teow, meehun, or yellow noodle. The soup is laden with various cuts of beef, tendon, brisket, white radish, and bits of salted vegetable.
available in both dry and soup version
We ended up really liking it, I’ve never been to Tangkak and can’t verify if this is “authentic” nor can I make a fair comparison, but I find myself really enjoying the meat, particularly due to how soft and tender they are (just like most Klang BKT with pork). The bits of salted vegetable and radish too adds to the dish, and if you like a bit of kick, there’s the home-made chili sauce on the side.
I will next try the other beef noodle place at Taman Berkeley.

KY, you got a new house? Sweet and see you have fish pond in it also? That noodle in it look different type use. It must not made with egg but meat seem a lot for that dish which is great.
Vickie: yesss, a new house with a pond, it’s a pretty exciting time getting it all ready.
Ky….I prefer the other beef noodles, and they also serve some decent char kuey teow, mee hoon kueh and curry mee.
