Multiple reviews highlight the dry version as the star—the minced beef sauce is flavourful without being overpowering, and strikes a careful balance between salty and sweet. The noodles maintain springy bounce even when coated with the sauce. This is considered one of the best versions in Chinatown.
Tips from diners
The dry version is the best thing here—order it without soup. Request extra beef balls if you want them.
Peak hours are 11:30am-1pm. Go after 2pm for a quick meal with no queue.
The beef balls here are signature item known for their satisfying bounce and genuine beef flavor. They're not as heavy as some stalls' versions.

Always add an order of beef balls—they're the standout and consistently praised in reviews.
Light, delicate rice vermicelli with beef sauce or broth—a silky alternative to egg noodles.
Tips from diners
The bihun is more delicate than the springy Hakka noodles—good choice if you prefer lighter texture.
The soup version is noticeably lighter than competing stalls, with a broth that tastes purely beef-forward without overpowering spices. Reviewers note the soup as a nice contrast to the drier style—good choice if you want something more broth-focused. The noodles remain springy even in the lighter broth.
Tips from diners
The soup version is lighter on the stomach if eating late. Pair with a chilled drink since the stall doesn't have seating.
Flat, silky hor fun noodles with beef broth and toppings—available dry or in soup.
Tips from diners
Ask which noodle type is fresher that day—they usually have a preference between hor fun and yellow mee.

Third-generation owner-chef Anthony Koon, 37, now runs the operation using the same family recipes passed down since the beginning. It's recognized in the 2026 MICHELIN Guide Malaysia as a Bib Gourmand restaurant—good quality, good value cooking. The stall serves strictly beef noodles with no pork, making it a unique draw in Chinatown.
