Restoran Tian Xiang Yong Peng Handmade Fish Ball Noodle (天香永平手工鱼丸面) is located in Taman Century near to KSL City Mall but closer to Holiday Plaza. The restaurant specialises in hand-making their fishballs. Specified as “Yong Peng fish ball” means they use fresh wolf herrings (西刀鱼) to make their fishballs — commonly confused with another type of fish called Pacific saury (秋刀鱼).
Tian Xiang serves mainly fishball noodles in either dry-style, clear soup or laksa with a selection of noodle from options of 8 types, including wanton noodle, Hakka mee (客家面), glass noodle, and other common noodles. Handmade fishcake, fishball soup, Fuzhou fishball, Hakka yong tau foo (酿豆腐), otak-otak, etc, are available as side dishes.
Each fishball noodle dish will have a set of ingredients that includes fresh and bouncy fishballs, beancurd, stuffed tofu, stuff tofu skin, seaweed and greens. These ingredients may vary slightly for the dry, soup or laksa style. And they are very fresh and good.
The dry-style fishball noodle, with homemade Hakka mee, is dry-tossed in a light sauce with oil and topped with minced meat, fried shallots and spring onions. The seldom-seen Hakka mee is flat, with a springy, chewy texture and is very nice after tossing well with the sauce and minced meat. As usual, the dry-style option offers more flavours.
I added a piece of stuff eggplant from the list of yong tau foo. The eggplant is fried before serving and is hot and tasty. Will go for more of the yong tau foo next time.
The soup-style fishball noodle, with kway teow, is served in the same clear soup that cooked the ingredients and has light flavours of the cooked ingredients.
Their Handmade Fish Cake (手工鱼饼) is highly recommended. It is served just-fried and piping hot with a nice aroma — wait few minutes before sinking your teeth into it. It is tasty and really must try.
Aside from serving fishball noodles, Tian Xiang’s handmade fresh fishballs are available for sales raw and chilled in ½Kg or 1Kg packagings.
