Fishhead bihun
Nam Thean coffee shop is situated in the middle of batu lanchang lane its after the mobil station if you're coming from Jelutong road and its after Sunshine Jelutong if you're coming from town.
Basically, everyone is here for its fishhead *bihun! A lot of stalls tried to sell here but failed,they always give up and go elsewhere. Currently there's a noodle stall there.
*bihun : rice noodles
When I said fishhead bihun don't jump to conclusion that it serves only fishhead. Normally if you want fishhead, it comes fried. But I always think that they only fry the not-so-fresh ones to preserve as they also serve boiled ones. Makan Hunter chose to order boiled fish with "thin" bihun. You can have porridge or "thick" bihun but I chose "thin" bihun.The porridge is hokkien style it means its just rice in soup which is something that's not really good compared to Cantonese porridge. "Thick" bihun is smooth but it doesn't absorb the soup well so "thin" bihun is the best selection.
Here's the bihun! They sprinkle some greens and garlic oil with garlic pulps. The garlic oil really play an important role in the taste. It brings out the flavour of the soup. They seasoned the fish well. Its really a turn-on for people who enjoy food with light 'n' nice taste.
Makan Hunter's Ratings :
Taste : 8.5/10
* I don't rate the ambience,presentations etc when its in a hawker stall or coffee shop.
