Joo Leong Cafe

Joo Leong Cafe at night

Select your seafood here

Fresh prawns served with 'maggi' noodle in sweet seafood broth

Fast, fresh, yummy! Which is why we have been back numerous times to this blue premise located along Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah / Sungai Tiram.  Basically, you choose the type of seafood to be included in your bowl of noodles (‘maggi’ noodle being one of the favourites) or porridge. The selection of seafood varies but we have seen fish fillet, ‘tau teh’ fish head, cuttlefish, prawns, crabs, fish balls, fish maw, and sometimes even frogs. Double check the price before heading back to your table as your bowl may costs more than RM20! Typically, a bowl of noodles with just fish fillet costs less than RM10. On average, a bowl with 2-3 items costs around RM12-14, again depending on selection but at the same time, one of our visits for two bowls of noodles costs us only RM12.

Salted Chicken Stall

 Other food served here includes salted chicken, some kuih as well as chicken and pork satay. Yes, pork satay. This is our first time trying it the pork way but we concluded that the chicken ones tasted better from this stall anyway. Joo Leong Cafe is also open for breakfast and is well-known for their roti bakar (toasted bread) served with half-boiled eggs. The good news is, Joo Leong Cafe roti bakar is also available for dinner!

The place is clean and comfortable although the high chairs for toddlers here can almost be considered antiques! There is plenty of room for strollers too. The main problem dining at Joo Leong is probably the parking or the lack of. You will have to find a spot by the side of a road with high traffic. Start locating a space when nearing the shop. Otherwise, you will find yourself parked way down the road or having to make two U-turns to get back for a second attempt.
