\"\"Most Singaporeans know that Hakka cuisine includes thunder tea, abacus seeds, mei cai kou rou<\/em>, and yong tau foo. But here is something different–bitter gourd soup, and Soon Kee Bitter Gourd Soup\u00a0\u65b0\u987a\u8bb0\u82e6\u74dc\u6c64\u00a0at JB <\/strong>serves an amazing bowl.<\/p>\n

\"\"More specifically, Soon Kee is located in Senai, a village in the Kulai district, and the restaurant serves many Hakkas living in this town. On weekend nights, the restaurant packs a full crowd, so it is advisable to go for lunch.<\/p>\n

\"\"There are two dishes that every table orders: bitter gourd soup<\/strong> (RM4.50\/pax) and fried meat<\/strong> (RM2.80\/pax or RM10.80\/plate). For the soup, the bitter gourd is sliced so thinly it’s almost translucent. Perhaps because if it’s so thin, it is crunchy and not bitter. The pork-based soup has pork slices and pork intestines, which are devoid of any gaminess. Tastewise, the soup enters the mouth sweetly and evolves to a gentle bitterness, leaving a \u7518\u751c dry-sweet aftertaste. Superb.<\/p>\n

\"\"Fried meat<\/strong> is deep-fried pork belly marinated in fermented beancurd. It’s cooked excellently: it’s crispy and fatty, but it has no drop of grease. That said, I had a better version at Penang Seafood Restaurant.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"A unique dish I hadn’t had before,\u00a0pineapple intestine\u00a0<\/strong>\u9ec4\u68a8\u5927\u80a0<\/strong> (RM7\/ RM13\/ RM18) is pork big intestines stir-fried with pineapple in a starchy sauce. There are bits of birds eye chilli to give it an edge. My friends like it but I dislike having fruits in my savory dishes.<\/p>\n

\"\"Many Western chefs, like Jamie Oliver for example, despise iceberg lettuce<\/strong> (RM6\/ RM9\/ RM12) and it is something I wouldn’t order at a restaurant. But it is delicious. Crunchy and extremely salty at first bite, the lettuce’s light flavour emerges as an aftertaste.<\/p>\n

\"\"The\u00a0fish head with black bean paste \u9c7c\u5934\u8c46\u8150\u00a0<\/strong>(RM10\/ RM15\/ RM 20) is full-on flavour. Bold and strong. But unfortunately the fish isn’t good quality, detracting our enjoyment of the dish.<\/p>\n

There are many other popular dishes that we didn’t have the stomach space to try. Dishes such as braised pork belly with taro<\/strong> \u828b\u5934\u6263\u8089 (RM2.80\/pax or RM10.80 plate),\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0tofu with minced meat\u00a0<\/strong>(RM6\/ RM9\/ RM12),\u00a0curry chicken\u00a0<\/strong> (RM6\/ RM12\/ RM18), and the\u00a0black vinegar pig’s trotter<\/strong> (RM6\/ RM12\/ RM18).<\/p>\n

\"\"Besides the delicious food and the wide variety, I also like their honesty as the food is clearly priced on their menu. I hate dishonest restaurants that give people “tourist prices.” We\u00a0spent RM75<\/strong> for 5 persons, or RM15\/pax.<\/p>\n

What a fantastic and affordable meal! The strong flavours here stir the entire tongue, unlike the milder and perhaps paler flavours in Singapore cze char.<\/p>\n

Highly recommended. We were all extremely satisfied with the meal.<\/p>\n
