Jin Man Fishball Noodles, Taman Taynton View, Cheras, Kuala Lumpur

I never knew there was a place in Cheras called Taman Taynton View, sounds very "white" for a very "beng" suburb. Anyway, this place is right opposite the highway from Leisure Mall and there's only like one row of shops there. Hidden here is the famous fish ball noodles of Jin Man.
Got here at 2pm and it was still pretty full. Business is good for the fish people. First thing I noticed is that this place is pretty clean. The floors are not the usual oily and slippery ones, neither were they sticky from years of grease. Good point! Thumbs up for cleanliness.
Old dude came over and we ordered. One bowl of kueh teow mee dry noodles and another one just mee with soup plus a bowl of fish maw and their famous fish cake. (one thing about Chinese shops like these is that service is always pretty fast.)

Good serving of kueh teow and mee combination. They're not too wet nor too dry. Pretty nicely done. Good.

Fish Balls! Yummy! Soups a bit too light but damn the fish balls were pretty damn good. Bouncy, fresh and not artificial like the ones you get at those bloody food courts. Good!

Fish Mall. Very normal stuff as I reckon that the soup's just a tad too light.

Check out the freshly cut chilli! Fresh chilli and soy sauce goes well with those balls.

I was surprised. This coffee shop's kopi-o ice is pretty damn good. Tastes just like the ones you get at the old Hainanese coffee shops. Good!

Well, the fish cake never came. They forgot about it and we had to tell them that it did not come, only did she deduct it out of our bill. (If we had not noticed it then we would have paid for it. Careless, overlooked or honesty? hmm..I'll just give them a benefit of a doubt on this.


Overall, the food is pretty good. Not very expensive, typical coffee shop prices ranging from RM4 - RM 6.50. Sad that I did not get to try their famous fish cake. I will be back.


Points - 2.5 (0.5 deducted for not getting my fish cake LOL)
