Put Pudu's Restoran San Jee on your bucket list for their feel-good fish head noodles with fresh fish and a wonderful chicken-pork broth
KUALA LUMPUR, July 9 — Just because anyone can offer fish head noodles doesn't mean they can do it well. That elusive bowl, which ticks all the boxes, from fresh fish to a broth that stands well on its own, can now be found inside Pudu's Restoran San Jee. Opened about six years ago, this stall, including others serving Hong Kong style roast meats and pork noodles, inside this coffee shop is operated by the restaurant owner. The fish head noodles stall is manned by a bunch of young foreign workers who have picked up the skills of cooking each bowl upon order. Soong fish (left) has a smooth skin and flesh while grouper fish skin (right) has more bite with firmer meat. — Picture by Lee Khang Yi The menu is kept short and sweet. Select either grouper or Soong fish and a choice of the head or cut into slices. Not in the mood to wrestle with bones? Well, don't fret as there's the safe choice of chunky pieces of bouncy fish paste (yue wat). Not a fan of pesky bones? The way to go is fish paste together with seaweed and 'fuchuk'. — Picture by Lee Khang Yi The fish is ultra fresh — slipping off the bone — and thickly cut to allow one to slowly relish every bite. It's kept natural, unlike other fish head noodles stalls where they prefer to coat it with batter and deep fry the fish head pieces. Each bowl is cooked individually with an 8-hour broth using old chicken and pork bones. — Picture by Lee Khang Yi All of this sings in the intense broth, said to be slowly simmered for eight hours, using old chicken and pork bones, and laced with Shao Xing rice wine. It's a big change from the usual clear fish based broths used for this type of noodles. All bowls come blanketed with lush greenery in the form of chopped spring onions and Chinese parsley, further enhancing that drinkable broth that also includes thin shavings of young ginger. It's further perked up with golden, fluffy nuggets of sinful fried lard, while the grouper fish and fish paste bowls include seaweed and fried fuchuk. Smooth Soong fish slices with jelly-like bits is best paired with that amazing chicken and pork broth. — Picture by Lee Khang Yi Soong fish is a velvety choice especially when you get to the jelly-like belly part. Most diners here obviously prefer the Soong fish head as it runs out quickly. It's definitely a workout for the mouth, going through each piece with the bones but the reward is worth it, as one gets to savour the slippery pieces of fish flesh mixed with the gelatinous parts. Grouper fish, cut into thick slices here, with that distinct chewy, thick skin. — Picture by Lee Khang Yi Grouper, on the other hand, has firmer flesh and is sought after for its thick, slightly chewy skin. With the fish head, there's more of that awesome skin to relish, so take your time to clean out the bones. Choices for noodles are limited to hor fun, lai fun or beehoon. Order your bowl of noodles at the stall located at the side of the coffee shop. — Picture by Lee Khang Yi Go for the hor fun as the flat rice noodles have a smooth texture, working so well with that flavoursome broth. This corner restaurant with its distinct leafy canopy fronting it is a neighbourhood haunt, where locals sit around tables to 'spill the tea' over a bowl of fish head noodles. That happy buzz and camaraderie, especially in helping each other out when the local authorities come to issue parking tickets, gives this place character. A bowl of Soong fish noodles (head or meat) is priced at RM11, the grouper fish (head or meat) noodles is RM20. For the fish paste noodles, the price is RM10. A neighbourhood haunt, this place sees many older folks sitting around a table sharing gossip and slurping down hot bowls of fish head noodles. — Picture by Lee Khang Yi Fish Head Noodles Stall, Restoran San Jee, 40, Lorong Yap Hing, Pudu, Kuala Lumpur. Open: 6am to 1pm. Closed on Monday. * This is an independent review where the writer paid for the meal. * Follow us on Instagram @eatdrinkmm for more food gems.

Cat-shaped robot waiter bringing smiles at Cumbrian café
A CAT-shaped robot waiter is bringing a smile to the faces of customers at a Whitehaven café. The BellaBot, a delivery robot created by Chinese tech company Pudu, has been recruited for the Rooftop Café at Dixons department store on Lowther Street. The robot can zip between tables and the front counter, with staff or customers only required to load and unload the trays. It can talk to customers and is programmed with random phrases including 'your food is here, marra'. It also makes meowing noises if stroked on its ears but will remind diners not to interrupt its work if stroked for too long. Dixons Rooftop Cafe customer Chris Eaves interacts with the robot (Image: Newsquest) The friendly-faced robot can serve four tables at once and is able to navigate around obstacles and take the most efficient route. Gordon Osbaldestin, company surveyor at J Dixon & Son Ltd., saw one of the robots at a trade show and after the company secured one, it was trailed at the café a week before Easter. It has proved to be a hit with the public and has helped free up staff to speak to customers and carry out other tasks. Mr Osbaldestin said: 'It has lifted us all. It's such a positive. Everyone has taken it really well. It's not what people expect to see here. 'It's given us more efficiency and allows us more time to have conversation with the customers. You can go anywhere for a coffee and a cake but if you like the crack, this is the place to come. 'Everyone has realised it's a help for the staff. It's very reliable as well. The robot at Dixons Rooftop Cafe is helping staff and bringing joy to customers (Image: Newsquest) 'The idea is to make customers smile. It's another reason to come here. It's definitely made us more efficient and everyone finds it funny.' Margaret Stobbart, a staff member at the café, said: 'We love it. It's great. The kids love it – all the customers do.' Chris Eaves, a customer at the café, said: 'I think it's kind of cute. It prompts the idea that the robot environment is here in the mundane environment of a café.' Mr Osbaldestin said there are now plans to introduce Pudu's CC1 cleaning robot at Dunmail Park in Workington, also owned by J Dixon & Son Ltd. He said this would allow floor cleaning to take place during the early hours and would help in winter when there are longer drying times. It would also free up cleaning staff to focus on other areas.

Portland cafe says Bella robot will not replace staff
Bella carries multiple trays packed with food and drinks, deftly swerving any obstacles and delivering orders day in and day out to her is the latest recruit at The View Cafe and Bar at Portland's Heights hotel in Bella is no normal member of the waiting staff - she is a state-of-the art robot programmed to serve and even interact with the eatery's costing a little under £9,000, it is hoped it can be an economical idea, as well as a novel assistant manager Mike Deadman insists Bella - built by Chinese technology company Pudu - will not result in any job told the BBC the robot was brought in to help at busier times and to carry items others might find a struggle. "I think [Bella] will complement existing services but I certainly don't think it'll replace the human touch," he said."Our recruitment process is as active as ever and it's simply supplemented." Bella is capable of singing Happy Birthday and can respond with phrases such as "wow your hands really are warm" when 55kg (121lb) robot is also equipped with obstacle avoidance technology, meaning it can glide through the cafe speedily and Deadman was inspired to bring the technology - also trialled by Bella Italia in 2022 - to Portland after seeing it used in cafes and restaurants in other parts of the only time will tell if it will prove the future of customer service.
