Kukoh 21 Food Centre

Inflation hitting us hard and it is not easy to find cheap foods nowadays. Yet, there’s still some humble food stalls that willing to provide affordable meals at a much lower price.

Hide at this very quiet food centre, you would find this Malay foods stall that sell everything at $2.50.

For only $2.50, yet there’s so many options to choose from; which include nasi lemak, lontong, briyani and much more.

Traditional Malay Muslim Cuisine - The $2.50 Shop opens from early morning and you could see many regulars would drop by to grab their breakfast from this stall.

Even though they selling it at $2.50, the portion is still competitive with enough fried chicken pieces, egg, ikan bilis and peanut. Complete with their chili sauce. You may opt for fish instead of chicken.

I seldom came to this food centre but when I do. I usually would come for this stall. Their pig organ soup always filled with generous amount of pig organs in my bowl for only $4. The soup was tasty.

Located in beautiful Nyonya kueh-coloured Jalan Kukoh, this pig organ soup stall has been around for nearly 4 decades. It looks like any old pig organ soup. But what do you expect pig organ soup to look like? Carefully housed in a bread bowl with 5 peppercorns on the side and a tiny mallet to crush them? That's not how it's supposed to be.

This, on the other hand, is exactly how it's supposed to be. The stall owners are friendly, and obviously take pride in what they have to serve you. Feel free to let them know what ingredients you want (or don't want), and they'll tailor the order accordingly. The chef operates like a well-oiled machine, you won't see any hesitation as he frags ingredients and tosses them into the boiling tank in front of him.

I was so enthralled by the entire process that I couldn't tear my eyes away from the bowl even as I turned to leave the shop. The uncle cheekily told me to look up or I'll bump into someone as I walk. Wise words for a hungry guy. The walk to my seat was arduous. The shallot oil was incredibly aromatic and I was tempted to abandon my lunch mates and tuck in right there and then.

The meat was delightful,and the organ pieces were cooked perfectly. You won't have to worry about it being gamey or tough. What really sold the dish to me were the tiny bits of meat floating around the soup. It made every mouth feel more substantial and hearty. This is comfort food done right.

Simple, delicious and healthy lunch. This stall #01-02 sells a very authentic Teochew fish soup with bean sauce to match.

Stall #01-11 sells a very authentic ter huang kiam chye soup.

Yummy.
