Since I am staying in Taman Desa, mum and I decided to try out at Woo Pin for their famous fish head noodles. As usual, the place is full with customers during lunch time. It is best to eat on weekdays because the place are packed during the weekends and people need to fight for a seat. Soong fish head were used and the fish head pieces are either deep-fried or poached. For those who don’t like the fishy smell or doens't like to deal with fish bones, they can ask for ‘yue watt’ (fish paste). Thi
Since I am staying in Taman Desa, mum and I decided to try out at Woo Pin for their famous fish head noodles. As usual, the place is full with customers during lunch time. It is best to eat on weekdays because the place are packed during the weekends and people need to fight for a seat. Soong fish head were used and the fish head pieces are either deep-fried or poached. For those who don’t like the fishy smell or doens't like to deal with fish bones, they can ask for ‘yue watt’ (fish paste). This is made from fresh tenggiri (mackerel) paste and, being boneless, is ideal for children. I chose the fish paste version, while my mum had the deep-fried fish head version. The fish-pastes were yummy. However, my mum said the fish head pieces have lots of bones.
At Woo Pin, the fish stock is boiled with generous amount of dried anchovies. Rice wine were added into the soup to eliminate the fishy smell and helps whet the appetite. Besides, evaporated milk (Carnation milk) is also added into the soup. Salted vegetables, diced tomatoes, spring onions, coriander leaves and fried onions were added into the soup as well. For those who do not like the milk version, they can opt for the clear soup option.
