Uncle Cheng's Beef Noodles.

If you're in the mood for some 'dry' beef noodles, Johor Bahru style, and a chat about all things beef, then this is the place to be. Julian, the son of Uncle Cheng, is one knowledgeable chap with a slight hint of wit, especially when the topic of conversation is about what else but beef.

And timing is everything too. He'll come around for the questions after he's fed you with the good stuff, all dripped in a special brown sauce, enhanced with a pinch of sesame seeds, harm choi (salted vegetable), and fried groundnuts for extra flavour.

And don't deny yourself some awesomely fresh beef tendons apart from the usual beef mix of tripe, beef slices and beef balls. Plus bowls after bowls of deliciously potent soup upon request, valid while stocks last.

Besides the 'dry' style beef noodles that's very much similar to the one in Seremban, if not better, Uncle Cheng Jr. serves the 'soup' version too. But you know which style I'd much prefer, and strongly recommend. To get there, head towards Restoran Khasiat Cafeteria, Jalan 17/12, PJ. Or call Julian at 012-303 0626 for directions.
