Win Soon Café / Restoran Ah Soon Fish Head Mee @ Jalan Kuchai Lama

Music: 陈奕迅-今天只做一件事 Mood: blank

Kuchai Maju, better known as Kuchai Entrepreneurs Park was developed several years ago that consist of several rows of shops. Since then, this fast growing township has more and more shops, especially restaurants sprouting out like mushrooms. Popular outlets around this area include Station One Café, Wings Musicafé and not forgetting Win Soon Café.

Win Soon Café has already been a popular spot by Kuchai dwellers; I supposed it has been made famous again after being featured in 8TV food programme Hochiak! early last year. Customers never cease to flock in especially from 12 pm onwards until 9 pm for a late dinner.


We arrived at 10.30 am, purposely avoiding the peak lunch hour at 12 pm and found a table immediately.

There are several combinations of fish head vermicelli shown in their menu, where prices range from RM6.80 to RM13.80. The upper case goes to a helping of vermicelli with fish head meat and one fresh water prawn.


Honey Lemon (RM 2.80) & Honey Sea Coconut (RM 2.50)- my honey lemon was half finished, I could have die from sweetness if I ever drink up everything, ditto for honey sea coconut.



Fish paste and fish head vermicelli (RM 7.50) - A generous portion came. I’m not sure was it just me or did it taste a little too milky? Even though they weren't fishy, too bad the evaporated milk was overpowering, making the fish head meats taste very ordinary. However, the vermicelli was decent and their famous fish pastes fare better, pretty smooth in the mouth.


Fish paste, sotong balls and fish head vermicelli (RM 9.80) – These are packaged sotong balls. The owner to this bowl had to agree with me where they taste too commercialized. It wasn’t bad, but our high expectations were brought down by the lack of home-cooked element.

Conclusion is: Woo Pin Fish Head Noodle still wins hands down. Would I be back again? Hmmm...I'll put my last bet on their fresh water prawns.

Location: 46, Jalan Kuchai Maju 9, Off Jalan Kuchai Lama, 58200 Kuala Lumpur

Opening Hours: 9 am- 10 pm (9.30 pm last order)

This is not my favourite. Although it doesn't taste bad, but the idea of putting in the pork fats inside made the dish rather 'unhealthy'. After finish a whole big bowl, I felt my stomach a bit challenged to disgest the food. Probably because of the pork fat.

I personally prefer Woo Bin fish head meehun. After eating it together with a cup of bak gor yi mai fu chok, my body felt warm and comfortable. Probably is because they use a lot of healthy vegetables to make the soup very light and smooth with the correct amount of milk.

When I have the chance to eat woo bin again ar mao? hehe :P

很多客人光顧的餐館,它的菜餚是不是很美味?Kuchai Lama 就有一間亞順生蝦魚頭米.
一年前,这里的魚頭米很好吃;可是现在的魚頭米味道差的很,
米粉时硬时软,鱼有时还绵,跟以前相比就是天与地。

这不要紧,最生气的是那天我和外地来的朋友一起去那用餐。
粉里近然有只蟑螂,OK,服务员很快的把它换掉,我们还可接受,
可是换的一碗还是一样有蟑螂,实在让人恶心和生气。
外来的朋友还叫我别再光顾这餐厅,因为很不卫生。
你说他们是不是要好好注意厨房的卫生和厨师的水评?

哈哈哈,我之前和同事去吃,4碗粉都有不同的感受。1-没味道,1-有烟头(还是他的招牌生虾鱼头米),奇怪的是换了之后又出现了一只蟑螂在里头游泳。下次把照片放出来给你们欣赏吧!拜托以后别约我去那吃了,怕食物中毒啊!
