AI Spot Summary
The price of the mixed squid soup noodles is affordable, but the fragrance of the fish crisp is a bit weak, and the texture of the fish paste is not great. The only thing worth praising is the Q texture of the fresh squid soup. The soup is not too sweet, has a moderate thickness, and is suitable for enjoying on cold days.
The in-store space is narrow and crowded, with a nostalgic vibe, but there aren't many seats and they are inconvenient, making it suitable for takeout.
The service attitude is friendly, but due to space limitations, most customers choose to take out their orders, and the service efficiency is acceptable. The facilities in the store, such as toilet paper and the handwashing sink, are inconvenient to use.
Reviews
This is a well-established store in a residential area, opening early at around seven o'clock, with business hours similar to traditional breakfast shops. This time, I ordered the mixed soup to try its main dishes.
First, regarding the soup itself, I found it to be quite average—not too sweet, with just the right thickness. On a cold morning, it’s nice to have a warm bowl.
As for the ingredients, my mixed bowl included three types: fish crackers, squid, and fish paste.
To sum it up, overall, I was a bit disappointed.
The fish crackers really felt like cookies thrown into the soup—nothing special, just quite crunchy.
The squid was decent, with a nice texture and chewiness. There were no issues with toughness or an unpleasant fishy taste, so I would give that a thumbs up.
However, at a price of one hundred yuan for the bowl, it felt disappointing.
The fish paste, in my opinion, was just very ordinary—nothing particularly special. After finishing, I didn’t have any standout memories of it; it tasted quite similar to the fish paste served in regular hotpot places.
The store was crowded, and it wasn’t convenient to get napkins. Although there was a handwashing station, it was not available for customers to use, and the seating was very cramped.
So, I would suggest opting for the fresh squid soup series instead.
In addition to the vitality of young people, the area around Gongguan MRT Station also has some places that bear witness to the passage of time.
The Zheng Hakka Squid Squid I visited today is this type of store.
What I enjoyed today was the mixed squid noodles, three kinds, 90 yuan.
In the current inflationary environment, it is considered a cheap and affordable price.
Comprehensive squid noodles: The so-called two things and three things of course refer to the choice of ingredients. There are three kinds of ingredients to choose from: fish cake, raw squid, and fish paste.
The fish cakes are a bit ordinary to be honest. Compared with other fish cakes that I have tasted in the past, the aroma is slightly lighter and the taste is a little pinker.
Fish paste, this one is even more embarrassing. To be honest, I don’t know how to evaluate it. The texture is just not that pleasant, but the squid inside is still very elastic.
Raw squid, this one is amazing, the chewy texture is quite good.
It's the kind of crispy texture that bounces back in your mouth after you bite it open.
The noodle is a decent butter noodle, which is delicious and not sticky.
The chili in the store is highly recommended. Just a small spoonful is quite spicy, so be sure to try it.
The space of the store is not big, in fact it is quite narrow. After all, it has been over 30 years, so it is unlikely that it will be renovated.
So most of the customers who pass by take takeaways home.
Overall, it's not unpalatable, but it's a little subtle, with some outstanding points and some indescribable parts.
If I come here next time, I will only order raw squid, right?
Recommended to everyone.
