Curry Fish Head @ Cheong Hin, South City Plaza
March 19th, 2008, Jason
We had our lunch first before headed out for Matta Fair at PWTC. Of the many choices available, we settled for curry fish head at Cheong Hin, supposed to be a branch of the famous Puchong’s. I once read about this shop from a blog, but I can’t recall the link. It is located at South City commercial area and its not very difficult to find as it is a corner shop lot with a rather big sign board.

Nothing special inside, typical Chinese restaurant.

We had their tau fu which didn’t really taste like tau fu but rather steamed eggs with some spring onions on top as garnishments. Nothing great, nothing bad and nothing special. It wasn’t cheap also, priced at RM12.

Only stupid less intelligent people will order bean sprout while dining in a Chinese restaurant and among us, there was one who just had to order bean sprout as our vegetable dish. For God’s sake, the plate of bean sprout was RM10. RM10 for a 50 cent worth of bean sprouts. Rip off! I wasn’t paying attention when he ordered that dish and imagine the dumbfounded face I had when the waitress served the plate of bean sprout.

Pork ribs cooked sweet and sour style, not too bad but it’s still on the expensive side. Again, nothing great, nothing bad and nothing special.

Of course, we ordered their famous curry fish head. I really like the curry sauce, hint of spiciness with coconut milk to give the creamy and smooth texture and also lots of vegetables to go along with the fish. However, there weren’t much meats on the head, hence, I reckon it would be better if we ordered the body or tail part instead. Overall, it was pretty good and delicious. The price? RM28 for small, RM40 for medium and RM50 for large; ours were RM34.



Our meal came with complimentary watermelon with sago dessert, which tasted very diluted.

The bill came up to RM84, with RM17 per head. Pretty expensive, I would say. However, I might or might not go back there for their fish head and nothing more than that.
