FOOD REVIEW ON XIAN FU HAWKER CENTRE KLUANG, JOHOR, MALAYSIA

Hi foodies,


Xian Fu Hawker Centre, Felda Bukit Tongkat, 86000 Kluang, Johor

Xian Fu Hawker Centre is popular for lunch in the afternoon.  It is located next to a school. There is a fish pond but I have no idea why the fishes run into hiding seeing me.  There are many stalls that you can choose from and paid only when the food arrived at your table.  Each table has a number that you use to mention to the stall so as it is easier to find you later.
I just order a little from everything.  Price range from around RM6 to RM10.  There is pricing directly on the stalls.

Wantan noodles
- asked for fried wantan . it is pretty good

Curry noodles
-Johor curry is different from the North Peninsula.  It is thicker, denser and contains some sort of extra spices.

Noodles with chicken feet in sizling hot plate
This is noodles with chicken feet.  It tasted alright.  Chicken feet is commonly eaten for to stay young.  I have no idea if that is true since this is a beauty secret passed down for generation.

Bread 
The bread from the Ah Teng stall is actually very good and as good as some famous bakery that I have been.

Pork fried bun Red bean pastry
Mum got some traditional pastries from a stall too.  It is delicious and good too.

Herbal drink 'Lo Han Guo' Monk fruit
A sweet herbal drink that is really good to relieve sore throat, cough and expelling body heat.


Overall, if you are into hawker stalls that has a lot of affordable varieties for lunch this is one of the place to go in Kluang.

Mr.Korea Vermicelli Noodle
It is for cooking Japchae, sweet potato starch noodles stir fried with vegetables and meat.  One of Korea's best-loved dishes
This big picket is enough to cook a lot actually so don't put it all in one time cooking.

Haechandle Korean soybean Paste (classic)
Bean paste that use as ingredient for stew, stew and some sauce.  It is use for the Doenjang Jjigae (Korean Soybean Stew) and other Jigae.  It doesn't taste the same as the Chinese soya beans.

Haechandle  Gochuchang Hot Pepper Paste (Korean rice)
It is a very important hot pepper paste in Korean cuisine.  It has slightly spicy sweet taste that is very unique.  Use it in bibimbap and also stew.

Bidan Red Pepper Powder
Red pepper powder is Gochugaru is one of the most important Korean ingredients. It is used to make gochujang (Korean chili paste), in delicious kimchi, for many korean stews (jjigae) and spicy Korean dishes.  This Bidan red pepper powder is not that spicy so it is suitable for me.  I really like the taste and I also use it in curry.

CJ Beksul sesame oil
This is a wonderful pure sesame oil.  I really love this bottle of sesame oil that is good for cooking Korean side dishes, rice dishes, Korean BBQ and in dipping sauce too. It has nutty aroma and savoury flavor  It makes food very delicious.


CJ Beksul pancake mix for cooking
CJ Beksul pancake mix is a must try pancake mix for making Korean pancake.  It is so easy to make even if you are a total beginner like me.  Even my picky family members enjoy this delicious pancake and ate it all up in one go. *sob sob, I got only one piece since they like it too much*


Review: Overall, I really like the CJ Beksul sesame oil and CJ Beksul pancake mix for cooking which is really good for Korean food.
