To be honest, growing up in Penang, I never really knew what Kampar fish ball noodle is all about. It was one of those hawker dishes that never really made much inroads to the island, much like pan mee and laksa Sarawak, and thus, rarely came up in my radar.
Then, a few weeks ago, someone asked me on twitter for a recommendation on Kampar fish ball noodle. Not knowing which is a good place to have this dish, I in turn asked around, and another fellow twitter user led me to Kedai Kopi Khoong at Seapark.
A good example of social media in everyday use π
Kampar fish noodle – with variety of fish balls
I’ve actually been to this kopitiam quite a number of times, mostly to have the old men’s Chinese desserts in the afternoon (they are operated by VSOP club – which stands for Very Strong Old People). Little did I know that the kopitiam actually has Kampar Fish Ball Noodle in its signboard.
I ordered a bowl of the dry version Kampar fish ball noodle (RM 5)
I counted 5 types of fish balls & fish cake
Like most hawker noodle dishes, you can choose from kuih teow, mee hun, yellow noodle, etc.
My version came with noodle with a bit of dark sauce and accompanying five different ingredients – deep fried stuffed fuchok, deep fried fish ball, bouncy soup fish ball, a less bouncy version, and fried stuffed tofu. As per standard Kampar noodle, the condiment is a little plate of spicy chili sauce that has the consistency that’s quite similar to bottled chili sauce, but a lot hotter.
Did I like it? Yeah, with my limited experience in Kampar noodle, I did find that it was a pretty tasty affair. I like the variety that comes with the dish, furthermore, the soup was quite flavorful too.
If you haven’t had much Kampar noodle, perhaps it is time to try. For those who are more of an expert, what’s your favorite Kampar noodle stall?

eiling: ooO didn’t know that! π
spent my childhood life in kampar cos my mom is from kampar. Every time when balik kampung, sure must have 2 bowls of it. The stall conveniently located just opposite the field near my grandparents house.
The aunty that selling noodles always tell my grandparents that the grandchildren ate like a horse every time when we come to kampar. Lols!
clement: hahaha, what a memory
Wei go ipoh lah, the whole of perak has this noodle dish. Can recommend you one or 2 good shops in Ipoh itself that serve awesome fishball noodles.
neko-hime: haha ok next time I ask π
This is one of the few places I know in that area. Haha! It was recommended by an ex-coworker to me. I liked it too. π
Huai Bin: ooOo small world! π
The best Kampar fish ball noodles is in.. Kampar, of course! π Go to the morning market and their noodles with yong liu will blow you away, for much less than RM5 too. Hehe.. Ahh I miss my Kampar food, especially the fried fu chuk! π
Honestly never really a fan of fishball anything.
ShaolinTiger: i think yuki probably find that a blasphemy lol
Ooooo, you make the right choice.
Ford_GT: hahaha thanks man.
