Kim Moh Restaurant Beef Noodles

Maybe not many people have heard of Kim Moh Restaurant, but lately they've been gaining more popularity for their Hainanese cuisine. The word has been spreading around and people are even travelling from jurong and woodlands to eat at this homely restaurant. Even makan sutra featured this restaurant. Located in the Laguna Park Estate along marine parade road, not many people would know about the restaurant unless through recommendations from friends or the internet etc.

Although they serve hainanese zhi char, in the afternoon you can also have their hainanese beef noodles. It's one of their specialties, and they proudly put up past newspaper articles on their beef noodles. Note that this beef noodles is different from their beef horfun so don't order the wrong dish!

It's available in both soup and dry versions, and served with thick bee hoon. I always eat the dry version when I'm there though. Like most dry beef noodles we eat at food courts, Kim Moh's version is also a served with a thick starchy sauce. However, the sauce tastes very different from the regular beef noodles. It's got a herbal and nutty taste to it, very unique and different from other beef noodles. The noodles are nicely done(can't really go wrong with thick bee hoon right?) and the beef is not too chewy or tough. The soup served also has a herbal taste to it. Lastly, the chilli served with the dish is very powerful! It's super spicy so eat with caution. I usually like to throw my chilli into the bowl and mix it together with the noodles, gives it the kick which I love.

A bowl of their dry beef noodles costs $5.50. Not sure if the soup version costs the same because I've never eat it. You can also get other yummies like the stomach and tendon to add to your bowl of noodles. That costs $6.50 per bowl. Food here can be a little more pricey than your regular zhi char fare, but the food served here is good, plus it's an air conditioned restaurant. If you're in the east, specifically marine parade, give this place a try. I'm sure you won't regret. Lunch is not that crowded, but dinner can get quite packed. Best to make reservations if you're coming on weekends. I will blog about their hainanese cuisine the next time I eat there.
