Goon Wah Restaurant ~ XO Fish Head Noodle

I was introduced to Goon Wah Restaurant by my aunt. I went there last Thursday with my mum and aunt. This place is famous for their claypot XO Fish Head Noodles which is a must order for Fish Head Noodles lover. However, remember to come early because it's usually crowded during lunch time. The soup is slightly sour and not as "creamy" as other fish head noodle soup and very appetizing. The pot of noodles is filled with preserved salted vegetables (Ham Choy), sliced chillies and sliced tomatoes and also yam slices. The portion of a small claypot is just nice for 2 people.

Besides that, we also ordered the stir fried kailan shoots ("kai lan miu"). The kailan dish was simple and delicious with oyster sauce taste and fried shallots.

Lastly, we ordered a plate of Kou Yoke (piggy + yam) which comes with 5 mantou to eat with. This dish is a bit of let down as the yam were not really fresh and the gravy has too strong "min si" sauce taste. For those who are watching out on their diet should not order this dish as the pork has a layer of very thick fat.
