Few weekends ago, drove down to Ipoh to attend my nephew’s wedding reception which was held in Pusing Public which Ipohan called it Mun Choong. I got to know from the older generation why they named it Pusing Public, it’s because the original branch was in Pusing, one of the small town in Perak. So, I presume it must have moved out from Pusing and thus name it Pusing Public.
Anyway, that’s my wild presumption. Best to check with older generation of Ipohan. But I can tell you that no doubt about it this is the place famous for wedding banquet. The food is large serving and it’s delicious too.
Don’ t believe me?? Check this out yourself.
Four Seasons, that’s where it started the night dinner.
Followed by the Shark Fin Soup, this is the best so far I’ve tried. Lots of ingredients and it’s tasty too!!
Duo flavour fishes, Black Pepper & Honey Glazed that Wrapped with Seaweed. This is something that I don’t normally see this in Penang. Look at the fish that they had de-boned it and made into these 2 flavours.
Steamed Kampong Chicken with Hong Kong Kailan. Something ordinary, but the oil that pour on this plate of kitchen that made it so juicy.
Mushrooms, Broccoli & Beancurd Skins with Abalone Sauce. Simple yet luxury. Abalone sauce mah!!
Pusing Public signature dish – Pan Fried Big Headed Prawns. It’s a must to have whether you’re going for wedding banquet or normal meal.
Fried Glutinous Rice with Mandarin Sausages. Flavourful, and rich in ingredients.
Last, which everyone that expected one… dessert. Dried Longan & White Fungus dessert, with these Green Kaya Balls. Perfectly match!!

The eldest son opened a branch in Batu Gajah, then shifted to Menglembu and finally closed down in failure,
The second son came to Ipoh, started at Jln Dato & later bought over Foong Lum restaurant where he stayed till the present day, He also bought over the elder son's failed restaurant & renamed it Rainbow.
The third son opened up Mun Chong in Jln Pasir Puteh in Ipoh & is quite established.
Interestingly, his chief cook broke away & opened up East Ocean Restaurant in Menglembu and is,IMHO, the best restaurant in Ipoh where good food ,good price & innovative menu is concerned. He has since opened a branch in Jln Tasek & Chemor and I heard, in Penang too.
