I was on leave last Monday to accompany my wifey back to her hometown for the 'sweeping graveyard' or Ching Ming festival at the Nilai Memorial Park. Thus, it was a long weekend for me but then, the weather was really hot and humid in the mainlands. Oh I mentioned mainlands here was because I stayed in SG and JB, which was not too affected by the humidity due to the proximity to sea where we can still enjoyed breezy days, most of the time. Anyway, we survived the heat wave though we had the event in the hot afternoon, in order to make it convenient for everyone.

I drove back from Seremban the day after, and it's been a while since we had Fuzhou dishes in Yong Peng. Thus, we are back to our favourite restaurant in Yong Peng at Hock Swee Hin Restaurant.
 |
My favourite ... is it called 'Cangkuk Manis' ? Need that Sibu food mayor to help ... muuahahaha...
In Cantonese, it is called 'Shi Chai Choy' |
 |
| Fuzhou Noodles ... put some vinegar onto it and it's delicious! |
 |
| Chicken in red wine... another favourite food of mine! It's very fragrant! |
 |
| And, the Fuzhou soup. Somehow, maybe I had better Fuzhou soup in JB where they put crab meat onto it and I felt this one is so-so only. |
Hock Swee Hin restaurant is located at 1953, Jalan Besar, 83700 Yong Peng, Johor, Malaysia.
I have been eating all those delicious Fuzhou food in KL for years but had no idea they are Fuzhou origins. I wonder if Fuzhou and Foochow are the same clans with different spellings?
ReplyDeleteIt is very good that you went to pray and pay respects to the ancestors on the Tomb Sweeping Week. They will bless and help you always. Hey, so we are mainlanders now for living in KL? I must give you a nick name too. Lol
Hahaha... Mainlands is a right term mah since I am staying in SG most of the time.
DeleteI just noticed you have a chart for Top Commenters over 4 weeks!! So the top 10 will also win CDs from you?
ReplyDeleteI am sure you will burn your own songs, Japanese food recipes or Anime Manga porns etc for me... Wakakaka
Aiya.. Go to those Dvd peddlers and buy your own porn movies la ... Muhahhahaha
DeleteI also went to "visit" my father last Tuesday
ReplyDeleteThat's nice! :)
DeleteYes, we call that cangkuk manis or in Chinese, mani cai. Looks good. Can't say the same about the noodles and the ang chao chicken though.
ReplyDeleteThe soup with crab meat would be something like sharks' fins soup minus the offensive stuff - Maggi has a very nice packet one, crab meat & tung hoon soup.
The cangkuk manis still taste good but the soup is so-so. yeah, perhaps it's nicer if ingredients like shark fins are added. hahaha
DeleteEverything looks so so good.. That "Hokkien mee" looks good too, with a lot of pork lard, sedappp...
ReplyDeleteIt's better with some drops of vinegar.
DeleteA bit weird to be called mainlanders as I thought that is what you call Tanah Besar China. Hahaha
ReplyDeleteAnd JB is part of mainland right?
LOL ... cos I stayed in a pulau mah ...
DeleteThe Fuzhou soup looks like got eggs inside, is there any eggs inside??
ReplyDeleteYes, there are eggs inside.
DeleteYes cangkuk manis, we like to call it pan mee cai LOL
ReplyDeleteOh... that's hokkien right?
DeleteThe umbrella is so cute and nice...
ReplyDeleteeh...everybody talking about food and you look at the umbrella ??
DeleteThat is definitely look like Cangkuk manis. My favourite veggie after midin. ^^
ReplyDeleteThat chicken in red wine looks good too.
I always yearn for it , the cangkuk manis!
DeleteI like the cangkuk manis! But not the noodles.
ReplyDeleteNoodles ok la...doesn't looks good on picture but delicious!
DeleteI've never tried Fuzhou food but I think I will like lah.
ReplyDeleteIt's very much like any other chinese food except you required vinegar for most of them.
DeleteTake me to the one in JB!! Have to wait a couple of months... I am home now...
ReplyDeletehardly eat any fuzhou dishes over here in KK..I would like them with the slight sour taste in them.
