Penang Home Made Beef Ball at Beauty World Food Centre offer a few selection of dishes such as beef ball noodle soup, mixed beef noodle soup, braised beef brisket noodle, beef hor fun and beef fried rice. All the dishes here are reasonably priced at a flat rate of $5.

Footfall here pales in comparison to their ever popular neighbor, Top 1 Hand Made Noodle which attracts a constant queue everyday.

I decide to give them a try anyway, and ordered the braised beef brisket noodle. You can opt for yellow noodle, kway teow, mee kia and chor bee hoon.

What I got on the plate was a sizeable portion of noodle with chunks of beef brisket and obligatory greens on the side.

Served on the side is a small bowl of clear soup with two beef balls in it.

Since the stall pride itself on their signature home made beef balls, that is what I am going to try first.

Indeed, one bite is all it takes to taste the difference. The beef ball has a light firmness and a meaty texture that cannot be found in the frozen ones.

Regrettably, the soup tastes flat and uninspiring. I had expected it to be full of beef essence since hundreds, if not thousands of beef balls passed through this water daily.

The beef brisket was mostly lean meat but thankfully fork-tender due to the long braising time.

Unlike the springy texture normally associated with wanton noodle, this mee kia felt "heavier" than the usual. I wonder if its being weighed down by the sticky tossing sauce which I believe to be the braising liquids from the beef brisket.

I do not eat beef brisket noodle often therefore I am not too sure of the traditional way of having it but I cannot do without sambal chili when having dry noodle.

However, the only chili sauce provided is the vinegarish type which is fine as a dipping sauce for the meats, but does not go as well with the noodle.
