Mun Kee Steam Fish Head

If you love the simplicity in steamed fish, then Mun Kee is the place for you.
My first visit to Mun Kee Staem Fish Head was when they were located at the Chinese Village which has been demolished now. Relocating itself in Jalan Imbi and opening a few branches got them to cater for the folks in Kuchai Entrepreneur’s Park.
I prefer this location apart from the other branches as parking is ample and free (up to 2 hours).
The shop is sort of a food court set up with high roof, and oh there is no air conditioning.
At Mun Kee, there are 5 different preparation methods — Nyonya Steam, Assam Steam, Minced Ginger Steam, Black Bean Steam and Original Steam.
Going with the minced ginger steam, we got ourselves half a portion of fish steamed well enough to hold the pieces of fish fillets together without being too flaky. The ginger taste wasn’t too empowering and went well with the freshness of the fish.

I think I found new love in this place. Looking like the normal simple hawker set up, high roof but no walls, there is no air conditioning but just cool breeze (if you’re lucky) during the night, so don’t be dressed all fancy. People come here for one thing and that is the steamed fish head. I am not a regular or familiar with fish head dishes, most often only hear it being cooked Curry style, but this was just wow!
On a weekday, the place was busy but I was pleasantly surprised when it didn’t take a long time for our food to arrive! When ordering, we were given two types of fish, of which both didnt sound familiar to us so we went with the cheaper option, at RM27, the other was RM41. They have five different cooking styles displayed on the board, making it easier to decide. We ordered the Clear Steam Fish Head, and a plate of stir fried vegetables.
Technically, you don’t just get the fish «head» because you get quite portion of the body too, making it sooo fleshy! The fish was cooked perfectly, still moist on the inside and so fresh. On top was some shredded ginger, red chilli, and chinese parsley, and there was soy sauce broth. Our vegetables were done well too, and it was only at RM8! For two of us, I thought it was perfect, even though we only ordered two dishes, it was so damn satisfying and filling.
Oh, we also ordered a coconut, priced at RM5, it was really aromatic and sweet! Not including the drinks, our dinner only costed us RM37!!! We were so contented that my boyfriend wondered if we underpaid, haha! This place is a must try!!!
