Ngau Kee - Beefy-li-cious Beef Balls @Tengkat Tong Shin Bukit Bintang by FollowMeToEatLa

Bouncy Beef Balls

This is by far one of the best beef balls in town. I have tried the Zhing Kong Beef Noodles next to the Klang bus stand, but they have failed to amaze me. They lacked flavor and bounciness. Well, sometimes it's hard to explain, but for a foodie like me, you'll sense it once it gets into the mouth!

On the contrary, Ngau Kee's beef balls is deliciously springy. It's firm, tender, and super tasty when eaten together with the beefy soup. Basic combination of chopped spring onions, and coriander as well as a dash of pepper to complement the already piping hot and flavourful broth punctuated with a robust beefy taste pleases me the most.

Real comfort food. Forget about the noodles, try ordering a whole bowl of 10 beef balls, (oh yes, I mentioned 10, not 6) and savour them slowly, one by one, bit by bit ... relish the bite into these tasty morsel. Guaranteed to be your most enjoyable eating experience that you will never forget.

Mmmmm ...... I'm getting hungry again from all these reviews and I want to eat my Ngau Kee beef balls tonight. Oh gosh!

Beefy-li-cious Noodles @Ngau Kee at Tengkat Tong Shin, Bukit Bintang by FollowMeToEatLa

As of date, this is my all-time favorite beef noodle in KL. I set a high benchmark for any beef noodles I eat nowadays. I'm sure you would agree once you have tasted Ngau Kee's noodles. 

The minced beef sauce and the beef balls are essential in determining how tasty it can be. The noodles that go well with beef are usually the wanton or mee hoon (rice vermicelli). Firstly, the wanton noodles must be cooked or blanched to the right texture, resulting in a springy and firm texture. It must not be too soft or with the kan sui taste. The rice vermicelli, better known as mee hoon, is also good to eat as it absorbs the beefy sauce, thus making the noodles very flavourful. 

I was introduced to these excellent noodles many years ago by my boyfriend (now husband) when we go dating at Sungai Wang Plaza. The taste have not changed but the price has indeed increased in leaps and bounds, okay blame that on inflation.

   Delicious Beef Noodles

The best way to savor the Ngau Kee Noodles is to try the Dry version. The wanton noodles go well with the flavorful and savory minced beef. I'm always amazed by the generous toppings of this wickedly delicious minced meat on the noodles. I usually ask for more chopped celery leaves and spring onions for my noodles, as they really bring out the wonderful taste, too. It's an excellent combination that rarely fails!

The soup was equally fragrant, too. You can smell them from afar, which is how you can distinguish a good one from the rest. Infused with aromatic spices and beef bones, which penetrate fully into a thick beefy soup, it leaves you with a lingering taste. The homemade beef balls are pretty large—meaty and bouncy, one class above the rest I tried or tested. Don't forget to eat this with their amazing sweet and sour chili sauce, as they go well together. 

Well, Ngau Kee Beef noodles were an easy, delicious comfort food that has maintained its quality and standard through the years, and for that, I give it a thumbs up.
