After a long morning meeting, its time for lunch again, since I am on the road with Joe, we decided to eat nearby the client’s office. Joe then suggested to go to the famous Fishhead Noodles, Woo Pin which I have read on quite a few blogs and heard about it many times.

I was told by Joe that they have another branch in Cheras, I am not sure which is the original place, but anyway, the one in Taman Desa is located inside Ho A-One Steamboat restaurant which does steamboat at night and Woo Pin serve fishhead noodles there day time. The first thing you will notice is there’s no parking, cars are not hunting for proper parking but hunting for places to double park or yellow line to park!

When you reach the shop, you see every single table is filled! So, you basically don’t wait for a table but wait to tumpang (share) a table with someone! This is how popular this fishhead noodles is! Me and Joe had to walk round and round to finally got a chance to share a table, thanks to the kind lady whom offered to us!

Anyhow, Woo Pin opens at 7.30am and close at 2.30pm daily except for Monday which is their off day. You can either have fish head or fish paste noodles, all for RM6.50 for regular and RM8.00 for large. Drinks are costly, RM2.00 for barli foo chuk, etc. and chinese tea is 50 cents. Then the guy comes to take your order and leave you with a paper slip, you pay when the food arrived. While waiting for lady boss with come with a tray of chilies and you help yourself to take how much you need.

Maybe the expectation was too much, I was expecting a heavenly fish head noodles, but it really didn’t end up that way. I find the soup to be nice, but I would prefer it with some cooking wine. Fish head wise, the best is still at MCF in Kota Kemuning. But overall I would rate the fish head noodles as good but like I said, maybe I got my expectation too high, I would not fight with all the crowds for it again, hehe .

Ok ok… so to be fair, it was only my problem and yes, the fish head noodles is kind of good especially with their chili but depends if you are the kind who would rush with the crowd for makan, people like me very lazy to do this kind of things, rather not eat one but credit goes to Woo Pin for still serving it fast and efficient .
