Woo Pin Fish Head Noodles

I had my first bowl of fish head noodles here in Woo Pin Fish Head Noodles. I’ve heard great reviews about this place so I decided to try it out one day after classes.
It shouldn’t be a problem locating the restaurant even if you don’t know Sri Petaling well.
Although being well known for its fish head noodles, this place isn’t crowded and I didn’t have to wait long for a seat.
I already knew what I wanted to have as I sat down, so ordering was a jiffy. My bowl of fish head noodle arrived quite fast and was piping hot! I was eager to taste the much talked about dish and ended up burning my tongue.
To my disappointment, I didn’t quite enjoy the taste of the soup. It had an intense ginger flavor which I wouldn’t know if it is too much being my first time tasting fish head noodle. But the noodles were good, it didn’t taste overcooked and had the right texture.
Would recommend it if you enjoy the taste of ginger. It was rather overwhelming for me.
The staffs were very attentive and had very good manners.

Got to know about this place because one day after grocery shopping around here, my baby sis brought me here for her favorite fish head noodles. She told me that this is the best fish head noodles she have ever had.
Being so highly recommended by her, my mind immediately set some level of expectation. I must say, the fish head noodles wasn’t that great, there’s no WOW factor (I guess I set my expectation too high) but it’s actually alright. Much better than some ‘famous’ place I’ve been and they don’t charge me for the extra rice wine I requested (some place does).
I personally enjoyed their barley fuchuk more than the fish head noodles itself.

I’ve always thought of fish head noodle as a weird thing to eat as I imagined it as a bowl of noodles with a chopped off head of a fish inside of it. However, after trying out the fish head noodles at Woo Pin, my whole perception of it changed.
Fish head noodles is really quite delicious, the soup, the noodles, and the fish combined. And it was not as I imagined it to be, its just few pieces of normal looking fish meat. However as a lazy person I am, I prefer to eat the fish paste one — aka the one without bones. But I must say that the normal fish does taste better, but it’ll take centuries for me to take out the bones one by one, so I prefer the ones without it.
Really recommended!
