Restoran Tangkak Beef (东甲牛腩面) originates from Tangkak in northern Johor. Tangkak Beef's beef noodle is well-known in Malaysia and is hailed as one of the best beef noodles in Johor, using 100% fresh kampung beef. I used to travel to one of its branches in Kluang to try their beef noodle dishes, but new branches popped up nearer to Singapore since 2023 — one in Kulai and two in Johor Bahru. The nearest outlet opened in Taman Sentosa, Johor Bahru, in July 2024.
The outlet in Taman Sentosa is conveniently located right opposite Marketplace by The Store @ Plaza Sentosa and is spacious. Tangkak Beef's signature dishes are hanged up on the walls.
Tangkak Beef's signature dish is their classic beef noodle. Apart from classic beef, there are mixes of beef brisket, cow's stomach / tripe and tendon. Special dishes comprising tendons, beef balls, tenderloin and short ribs are also available. Non-beefy options include fishball noodle soup, hot & spicy chicken rice, curry chicken rice, etc.
One of Tangkak Beef's special dishes is the Single Short Ribs with Beef Balls (单人排骨牛丸) — I tried it once in Kluang and really miss the dish. Any staple ordered with the special dish is served separately. The kway teow soup is served in a beefy broth and topped with chopped spring onions and fried shallots. The kway teow soup alone is already tasty.
The Single Short Ribs with Beef Balls comes with two large meaty short ribs and two beef balls in darker beef broth. The tender ribs meat separate from the bones easily and the beef balls are springy. Delicious.
One item on Tangkak Beef's menu stands out among others — the signature claypot short ribs (特色砂煲排骨) for 2 pax. It looks delicious on the menu. I will bring someone along next time to try it — which is easier since this outlet is nearer to Singapore.
