Ru Ji Kitchen Fish Ball Mee
Fish Ball Noodles, Street Food
The fish balls at Ru Ji Kitchen may be inconsistently shaped but Chiefeater Luke Soon found that there is bouncy delight in this asymmetry


Nasi Lemak, Street Food
I recently revisited Restoran Tan Yew Lai Nasi Lemak Corner, a local landmark that has been a staple in the Tan Yew Lai community for 27 years. The business has a rich history, evolving from a humble roadside stall to a food truck, and now operating out of its own rented shoplot.



I ordered the nasi lemak and mee hoon, which came to a total of RM15.50. The nasi lemak was paired with sambal petai, which provided a significant “burn” and featured a very strong petai flavor. While the taste was impressive, the portion of petai was a bit sparse with only five pieces included.

The mee hoon was a delight and I actually liked the mee hoon more that the Nasi Lemak. The flavour was good and the vermicelli texture was not brittle.

Nasi Lemak with Petai & Mee Hoon – RM15.50
Score: 7.17/10
M – Meal Value
The pricing remains accessible, especially considering the long history and reputation of the brand. At RM15.50 for a hearty portion that includes specialty items like sambal petai, it provides a satisfying meal that reflects its roadside heritage while transitioning to a shop setting.
Score: 7.5/10
V – Venue & Vibes
Now located in a proper shoplot on Jalan Taman Tan Yew Lai, the restaurant offers a more structured dining environment than its food truck days. It maintains a bustling, authentic local kopitiam atmosphere that is popular with both long-time residents and new visitors.
Score: 7.0/10
X – X-Factor
The x-factor for me was in the Mee Hoon.
