Curry Mee with Boiled Fish.

Boiled, not steamed.

I hesitated when I get to the title. The fish is the general enticement here, it totally dominates the enjoyment of a meal here at Kedai Kopi Tin Kam Leng, so instinctively I typed "Boiled Fish with ..." before I rephrased it to this, since carbs constitute our mains here in Malaysia.

What's proclaimed: no preservatives and sodium borate used in production of noodles by distributor.

I am NOT a big fish person, but when it comes to steamed fresh fish that's served fresh from the pot, especially a nice serving of kembung (mackerel) oh yes I will NOT reject! However due to the unpredictable weather (or monsoon season, but was it still?) kembung was not widely available. The cooks then used selar (yellowtail scad, an equally mouth-watering fish) for the side dish.


It's a heavenly combination to have the fish along with a bowl of their famous Curry Mee. I'm dead serious about this.


You can also opt for mihun (vermicelli) instead of noodles. The same soup was used to boiled the fishes, which explained the great aroma possessed by the soup. This bowl of curry is not the average curry you can enjoy elsewhere, no santan was added and there was only a tinge of spiciness, very un-curry-like. But YUM! It's almost like Har Mee soup but instead of cooking with prawn shells, fish was used.

Price list. Price of fish varies.

This coffee shop is perhaps the most visited place we've been to whenever we passed by or went to Kemaman. I am not very sure about its exact location, all I knew was it's located opposite to the Persatuan Hokkien which isn't facing the main street, beside it but separated by a narrow road is a small hawker center consists of mainly Malay stalls. The locals would call the place as Kampung Cina but Google Maps will direct Kampung Cina in Kemaman to a place further away from the town.

I have also found the address set by other online users on foursquare which goes here.
