On a recent trip down to KL, a relative sang praises of a shop in Seri Kembangan offering fantastic Fish Head Bihun. I’m not a big fan of fish head, but I do love KL’s version of the fish head bihun with evaporated milk added into the soup. So I was game for it!
We arrived at Seri Kembangan, to this rather unassuming coffee shop…
And me being the ‘banana’ that I am, couldn’t read Mandarin, so I exclaimed ‘hey this shop selling bak kut teh la! where got fish head bihun?’ Little did I realize that the shop has TWO signboards – the white Fish Head Bihun signboard (written in Mandarin) above the green Bak Kut Teh signboard.
I honestly would not have walked into this place had it not been for the recommendation, for even the menu is entirely in Mandarin…
Of course the star attraction was the Fish Head Bihun, so we immediately ordered it. You would notice from the menu that only RM0.50 separates the small and large bowl of noodles. Perhaps it’s just an addition of more noodles for the larger bowl?
We ordered the small portion…and boy was it big!! And very very creamy due to the generous amount of evaporated milk! (Do note that there is an additional RM1 charge for fish head bihun with evaporated milk, which would make it RM7.50 a bowl) I couldn’t stop drinking the flavorful soup base even though I was already filled to the brim!
Delicious crispy fried fish! (there’s a mix of fish head as well as fish meat) We were told that they import their fish from New Zealand.
Clear soup fish head bihun for those who don’t take milk… the soup base is equally tasty but much lighter with more prominent taste of ginger. But of course I would choose the one with evaporated milk! *tee hee*
OMG I MUST HAVE THIS! My Klang Valley fish head noodle trail has died a very unnatural death and this post completely reinvigorated it! Terrible around the area so any signs (and phone numbers!) are helpful… wish me luck in finding it! 😛

hope you find this place ya! i think its quite near to bukit jalil technology park
You made me crave for fish head noodles now… there is one very good one back at my previous work place. Costs almost the same.. imagine that was 3 years ago.
.-= gina´s last blog ..Ayutthaya to Naraya =-.
wah wonder how much it would cost now??
You know it’s gotta be good when they have not one, but TWO signboards! (Of course, do we mean good biz or good food or both?) 😉
.-= Life for Beginners´s last blog ..The Grass is Greener =-.
lol! hopefully its both good food and good biz! but somehow i found the green signboard more prominent 😛
Wow, look at that milky white soup, must be full of flavour!
.-= KennyT´s last blog ..Please Make a Donation =-.
oh yeah..the soup base is really good! lots of tomatoes, preserved veggie and ginger to flavor it!
I heard about this place too the other day. But I went there at night but the shop was closed. So we tried the Bak Kut Teh instead. BKT here is not recommended. lol
oh! thanks for the info! guess i shall stick to the fish head bihun! 🙂
I like the fish head bihun with evaporated milk too! I once tasted a good one at Seremban there and I try to find the similar one in PG, but seems like it’s not a trend here in PG. Now I can go to KL for flash back the old taste. 🙂
.-= allie´s last blog ..NEWS: Site to be down for maintenance =-.

there is another place in seri kembangan that served, “Yue Wat Sin Nai”, Fish paste with evaporated milk noodle, similar to fish head noodle, just that they use fish paste. their tom yam is good too. it was in housing area, near the fatty chicken rice.
BTW, i’m going to penang, what is the list of food that must have?
list + address (better still if you have the GPS coordinate)
