Abalone Noodles is one of the unique dishes you can find in Malaysia. If you enjoy light, clear soup with fresh ingredients, Johor Bahru has many shops selling kway teow soup to satisfy you. Yong Xin 永新鲍鱼粿条 is a good option for you when you have that craving for some Kway Tiao with Seafood soup. Located in Skudai area, They are quite popular amongst the locals for the Abalone Kway Teow Soup 鲍鱼粿条汤 they served.
Other than selling abalone seafood soup, they do sell canned abalone in their shop too!
For those who can't read Chinese, the history was the owner who formerly in the Mechanical industry for years in Singapore, stepped into the food industry in the year 2003. At the beginning, the owner opened his very first eating house serving Malaysian cuisine Bak Kut Teh and Kuey Teow Soup for a year.
The owner at then realised the market opportunity and studied deeply on the demand by locals, decided to stop his Bak Kut Teh career to venture into making abalone noodles, but he was criticised by customers in the beginning. So he spends 12 hours a day to cook and study the recipe, and finally, his abalone Kwey Tiao soup was accepted by the locals in just a few months since he started his business until today. 
This restaurant has attracted many visitors from the other states and even from other countries. Look at the number of celebrities that came to visit them. A very informational menu.
There are different combinations of the ingredients, so you can even choose without any of the pork organs like livers and stomach if you don't like them.
We ordered Yong Xin's signature Large and Medium Abalone Kway Teow each.
So while waiting for the dish to arrive, you can help yourselves to fried pork lard. It was crispy and crunchy.
The set we ordered came with our choice of Kway Tiao (they have noodles or bee hoon as well) and a bowl of soup with standard items - sliced canned abalone, prawn, oysters, sliced and minced pork, pig liver and stomach.
The difference between 12 RM large portion and 10 RM medium portion is that the large portion has additional ingredients plus fish maw and Pacific Clams which is very worth to top up 2RM for them.
Every ingredient was fresh, which I feel, they are the key to the good seafood soup.
The soup is the main factor for this delicious bowl of Teochew dish. At Yong Xin, the pork bone based soup is light, clear and sweet. Part of the sweetness came from the ingredients in the soup which were all nice textured with natural sweetness.
There were a few of these small fresh oysters in the soup. Though tiny, these oyster are fat and juicy.
Kway Teow Kia, the slimy translucent kway tiao that was tossed with sweet black sauce. It was quite chewy and yet does not stick to your teeth. Though it was not Q enough, it was still very pleasant to eat it together with the soup, indeed a wonderful match!
Do check out this Kway Teow shop if you happened to be in Skudai area. Definitely a shop worth visiting!
