Good-o-smell of Hor Fun

7-Mar-10 ~ Foo Heong Restaurant

Known as old label for fragrant Hor Fun for the good-old-days… my mum always tell me that…. They even said they are willing to queue for more than an hour just to savor that packet of Hor Fun…

Located just opposite the Tai Tung restaurant… you will find a conventional shop with the big signboard hand written as Foo Heung Restaurant….
Hor Fun or known as rice noodle were made from rice flour. Well known for it texture and its smoothness, we seldom said NO for it..
No matter served with dark soya sauce, or stir fried or even blenched with soup, we still crave for its own quality…

Foo Heong had been with us when my mum was as old as 6 or 7 years old. Mum even told me that there’s a saying, “Breakfast must go Yee Heong, and diner is Foo Heong for sure”….
I still recall when I 1st step into this restaurant again… the environment were still the same 20 years back… when Dad took us there to savor for the famous Hor Fun….
Over here, besides the famous Hor Fun, you can find other snack and dishes…
Normally, a cup of freshly brewed tea always comes together with the Hor Fun… but this round, we opt for Chrysanthemum Tea…
Just like usual, we were served with plastic plate and a set of plastic culinary as well..
1st to serve was this Stir Fried Siu Bai Chai with Garlic. The Siu Pai Chai were sliced thinly and stir fried with lots of garlic. The vege were fresh and crisp….Another dish to come was the Sweet and sour pork a.k.a Pai Kut Ong. The pork was sliced thinly and deep fried. Lastly, the pork were served with specially prepared sweet and sour sauce. Nothing special about this dish though….
Here comes the superstar of the night…
Hor Fun or rice noodle were stir fried with some dark soya sauce. Lastly, they cooked some gravy with lots of fish ball, chicken bites and some vege and served on cooked Hor Fun. The taste and the testure just the same as 20 years ago where we ate happily with Dad and mum.

Next, was this Fried rice. They fried the rice with eggs, chic bites, char siew (BBQ pork) and the taste were awesome…
But I found that the rice were a bit soggy..
Last to serve was the Hung Tao Mee. The soup base were like the sharkfin soup where the soup were thicken with some corn flour. Inside the soup you will find the Yee Mee served underneath…
I found this dish was rather a bit disappointed…
Overall, this place still holds the fragrant of Hor Fun strongly…
No doubt, the place is old but it is always good to bring back the good old memory of the loved ones as well as the good-old-taste
