One of the cool things about being slightly known for food is that I get a lot of recommendations to check out food outlets others find delicious, Ivy Sekinchan is one such places introduced by one of my futsal friends who are well aware of my love for fish noodle (particularly how often I ended up at B & Best)
Ivy Sekinchan fish noodle, Taman Bukit Anggerik
Ivy Sekinchan is located at Cheras, or more specifically, Taman Bukit Anggerik. This is quite a “remote” part of Cheras that doesn’t draw much crowd from people who does not stay within the postcode. The good thing about these sort of places is that you do get a stress-free parking situation, I guess…
While B & Best, or indeed Fatt Kee in Kota Kinabalu has quite a big menu, the offering at Ivy Sekinchan is a simple one-page affair. You get to choose from several types of fish ball noodle (in curry, dry, soup), grouper, dragon grouper, or giant garupa fish noodle, and fish head too (menu at bottom).
dragon garupa fish noodle soup
I had myself a bowl of dragon garupa with kuih teow (RM 22). The portion of fresh fish was quite generous, and was actually rather fresh and delicious. The soup base was quite strong tasting, if a little too salty. Cilantro, spring onion, tomato, and some fried shallots make up the rest of the ingredients.
A more than competent bowl of fish noodle for sure, but I’d like them to tone down the salt next time if that’s possible (or perhaps have it with dry noodle)
Hakka noodle if fish isn’t your thing
If fish noodle isn’t your thing, apparently the Hakka noodle here is worthy of a meal as well. Instead of wantan they have fish ball soup on the side, but you do still get the typical shredded pork on dry noodle as with any hakka noodle places (like the one at Pudu).

Ohh… I know this area. I used to pass by it when I visit my friend in Cheras. I know there’s a place famous for its hokkien mee and wa tan hor fun there. Maybe I’ll check out this place also 🙂
CleverMunkey: definitely a lot of places I have no idea of in Cheras too.
I love Hakka noodles, had that in Seremban.
suituapui: yess, a different take compared to wantan mee for sure.
is this place opened by ivy from sekinchan? 🙂
Sean: maybe the owner’s name is Sekinchan and from an Ivy League school.
what??? so tell me how they named Bangkok??? Or Sukhumvit???
kekeke: wikipedia is your friend.
i prefer the urban dictionary definition #lol
kekeke: sometimes too much knowledge may not be the best. haha.
I love adding extra greens to the top.
Monica: yesss, always a plus.
I think salty broth will be too overpowering for light tasted fish meat 🙁
Choi Yen: it is, a little bit.. a little..
I can see that the restaurant is really spacious instead of cramping the most no. of tables as most restaurants would do. I can only eat fish noodles (the fish looks really fresh) if the place offers other types of food for my family…haiz.
eatwhateatwhere: they do have hakka mee. haha.
wah.. i need to try this.. nearer to my cousin’s house
