The first recommended food is “Mr 9 Handmade Hakka Noodles”. This noodles is pure handmade by the chef. As mentioned by the chef, handmade noodles has a softer and more “Q” texture. The cooked noodles is topped with onions, wood ear and fried onion and it is ready to be served. The owner also mentioned that the noodles are best eaten with the special homemade chilies sauce. Moreover, a homemade fish tofu soup is also included in this Hakka Noodles.
The second recommended food is “Mr 9 Curry Noodles”. The main ingredients include onions, siham, fish tofu, beansprouts and taupok. The curry paste is prepared using ingredients such as curry powder, coconut milk and chilies and cooked for half an hour. The curry does not taste like Penang white curry and Johor laksa and it has a unique taste.
Besides that, the owner also recommended the “Beef Bone Noodles Soup”. The soup base is cooked for 4 hours with beef bones imported from India and 8 other ingredients to enhance the flavour. The soup has a mild herbal taste and the flavour of the beef which is mixed into the soup base makes the soup contain the fresh beef taste. This Hainanese style beef bone noodles soup has become one of the signature food in Mr 9 Cafe.
The fourth recommended food is “Beef Noodles Soup”. The soup base is similar to “Beef Bone Soup” and the difference is that this soup include other parts such as beef tendon and beef tripe. Compared to “Beef Bone Soup”, this soup has a stronger beef taste and the flavour of the soup is enhanced by the parts of the beef.
