Foo Heong Restaurant 富香酒樓

If you’re a Cantonese and not well verse in Hokkien dialague in Penang, and yet you need to look for food, where would be the place for you then?

Well, let’s be logical apart from fast food, you can actually drive down to town, to this place where mostly Cantonese staying in the island – Cintra Street. In Cantonese they called it 日本橫街.

Foo Heong has been in Penang for many decades, in fact down from hubby’s grandfather’s time, Foo Heong has been here in Cintra Street already. It used to be very famous but it has lost its shine.

If am not mistaken, what famous is their Char Hor Fun, Hokkien Char, etc.

Well, we didn’t have those, but order their chu char for a simple meal, but it turned out to be our disappointment.

Stir Fry Kailan with Garlics. The sauce was too starchy for us. And we both find it a bit too salty.

Pai Kut Ong (排骨王), way too sour.

Spring Onion Fish Fillet (薑蔥魚片), the fish was like over-cooked. Taste was a bit bland.

No wonder whenever we drove passed this place, the shop is rather quiet. I just wish they could do something about it, and at least it brings back to many people’s fond memories.
