Loh Kei Duck Meat Koay Teow Soup @ Pasar Pulau Tikus

Overall Reviews

Rating: 3 out of 5.

In this post, we decided to fix our still grumbling stomachs after our disappointing late lunch from the previous post. We ordered the Duck Meat Koay Teow Soup, and to our delight, the aroma wafting from the bowl made us almost forget our hunger-induced grumpiness. The taste was satisfying, although we must admit that the portion size was nothing to write home about. At RM6.00 for a small serving, it was enough to tide us over but not exactly a feast fit for a king.

The service was friendly, and we appreciated the guy who was able to multitask by taking orders while also handling the food. The wait time was not too shabby, and the process was smooth for both the customers before us and for us. However, we must warn you that the hygiene here may be a bit of a challenge since it’s just your typical roadside hawker stall.

All in all, we’ll probably visit again, but it’s not quite at the level where we’d drag our friends along to try it out. Maybe we’ll have to wait until they expand to a fancier location with chandeliers and a dress code.
