It's always a good idea to look for good food whenever you are on the roads, especially on long distance travel. After all, it's not always you will go to such a far place just to eat, unless you are on a 'makan' mission. I was travelling back from KL after celebrating my father's in law birthday and again, I stopped at my usual destination for a break, the foochow town of Yong Peng. And, since its foochow, it's time to savour foodchow food.
All these beautiful dishes can be found at an old kopitiam called 'Hock Swee Hin', which was almost a corner shop-lot located near the traffic light going to Yong Peng Utara toll.
"Foochow" Soup - A must when having foochow food. Put some drops of vinegar onto it for some great taste! |
Red Wine Chicken - I love the fragrant of the wine! |
'Kangkung" - Some vegetables to balance the meat |
My favourite, in cantonese it's called 'Shi chai choy". I am yearning for this dish for quite some time and it's kinda difficult to find it in JB. |
Come and try Sibu's next...and you can compare...and try Sitiawan's too. Despite all being Foochow, there are subtle differences in the cuisine.
