Kelantan Kway Chup • Pig's Organ Soup - MICHELIN Bib Gourmand ... (misstamchiak.com)

Join us as we head down to Berseh Food Centre to take a look at this newly listed stall in the MICHELIN Bib Gourmand guide! Read more.

As for the meatballs, they were rather strong in terms of porkiness so you might want to prepare yourselves for that. The broth was refreshingly light but still flavourful at the same time, though I wished it packed just a tad more flavour. There was also a copious amount of pig skin that was chewy but not too tough. I noticed quite a few elderly folks approaching the stall to place their orders, with half of them preparing their own takeaways boxes for the kway chup. They were also cleaned rather well, soft and easy to eat. The pork belly chunks had a good balance of meat and fat, making it quite tasty.
