I’m always a fan of a good bowl of Penang style kuih teow soup, a dish that somehow seems to always play second fiddle to pork noodle in Klang Valley.
While my kolo mee fix at Restoron Tropikiri was on their rest day, I took the opportunity to give this prawn mee and kuih teow soup stall a try.

As it turned out, it was one of my lucky days, the stall offers a version of kuih teow soup that comes with duck meat.
A bit of background for those who aren’t familiar with this dish, Penang style kuih teow soup usually comes with kuih teow in a clear broth with fish ball, duck/chicken/pork meat, sliced fish cakes, chopped spring onion, fried garlic, and sometimes a bit of pork lard and even coagulated blood (like the O&S version)
The version here is as proper as any, the soup was light yet carries a sweetness undoubtedly contributed by duck meat, and the bits of fried lard certainly gave it an extra savory taste. I enjoy the bouncy fish ball that was included as well.
If you want a comfort breakfast that doesn’t attack your sense of taste too early in the morning, this dish is never a bad idea.

O&S got kueh teow soup? Aiyah, how come I’ve missed it all this while? >.< I like a lot of stuff here like YTF, CCF, curry laksa, wantan mee, Indian rojak, glutinous rice dumpling as I come here quite regularly. Must have been too focussed on my favourites. Will make sure to look out for kuey teow th'ng the next time I'm there. Thanks! 😉

I’ve finally tried this during my previous PG trip but I’m that it didn’t impress me much as the flavor is too mild for my liking 😛 Give me CKT & Asam Laksa please~~~ LOL
