Hoong Kong Boy Restaurant

Unclaimed

The place has the scale and crowds that nowhere else in Malaysia has. It is so massive that it stretches 200 meters and has more than 60 stalls. Staffs are friendly and food is delicious. Notable popular food here includes frilled fish and char koey kak. Highly recommended. Well done and keep it up!! ⭐️?⭐️?⭐️?⭐️?⭐️

Curry mee from this stall is above average, I like how the curry is not thick but still tasty which makes it easy to drink the soup. 9rm for a decent portion. The other stalls in the coffee prices are fairly expensive especially the fish soup stall which sells a fried fish soup for 18rm.

Hoong Kong Boy Restaurant Penang Char Kway Teow, charcoal, duck egg and lard powered. And our pick for the best char kway teow in Johor, and yes even Singapore. Uncle Huang is a jovial and friendly hawker here, and diligently cooks every plate without rushing nor consolidating multiple orders here. And that makes all the difference. Not to be confused with the other Penang ckt stall at the food street which we also sampled, this is fully charcoal fired. And hence, it takes not only greater skill, but a great deal of patience too. The cockles are also fresh and plump and the cockle juice that is infused into this plate of greatness is also what makes it extra tasty. And because charcoal takes much more time to fry to get everything properly cooked, the resulting plate is also more complete and defined as you can’t really describe the divine amalgamation of flavours that is ckt. And do order the duck egg variant for only a ringgit more (9 for normal eggs and 10 for the duck egg) as the extra egg fragrance will simply elevate this already delicious dish even further. He also uses lard oil to lubricate the rice noodles and you get that luxurious slurpy texture to every strand. Extra points for this every time someone decides to use a healthier fat to cook this dish. Nothing needs more to be said except come here yourself and savour this Penang delicacy in Johor and we dare say it’s as good, if not better than some of the more famous ones in Georgetown. Watching Uncle Huang fry this classic dish is also highly therapeutic and it is gastronomic poetry in delicious motion. And makes eating it even better. A definite winner. 2, Jalan Dedap 22, Taman Johor Jaya, 81100 Johor Bahru, Johor Darul Ta’zim, Malaysia.

The atmosphere is reminiscent of a traditional open-air night market, offering a Malaysian street food experience. The variety ensures that there’s something to satisfy every palate. The area can get quite crowded, especially around dinner time.
