Kit & Carol took us here for breakfast and its supposed to be a famous place in KK for fish head noodles. Located in Bundusan, Wan Wan looks like a shop in an industrial park (don’t ask me man, I just sit in the van and got there blur blur).

The place is crowded in the morning and there are choices of noodles and fish head or fish meat and type of fish you want. They even have “lung tung” (giant grouper) fish head here, expensive stuff! I just ordered the normal one with fish meat and noodles.

The meehoon type used are the thicker type with good clear soup. Slices of fish are then topped on the noodles which have some mixture of ginger, tomatoes, fried onions and salted vege too. The fish meat are very good and fresh which makes the noodles good .

I didn’t pay for it, so don’t really know what is the damage but the noodles are good and judging by the number of crowds, makan here cannot go wrong la.

Its lunch time and the ‘2 shy boys of cyberjaya’ (new nick for you know who you are!) brought me to Dengkil for lunch… this time, we are trying out One One Three Seafood there. Its just opposite the community hall in Dengkil in Jalan Aman 1. Its a corner shop but opposite the road they have an outdoor area with canopy.

I was being haunted by Bangkok Joe with issues on the phone when I got there so this time I leave the ordering to the 2 shy boys of cyberjaya la…. after all these are the local worms… can’t argue with them right?

Since there are only 4 of us… the order is a small pot of curry fish head, a plate of ku lou yok (sweet sour pork) and a plate for fried vege (I am surprised, one of the shy boy will order vege!)…. anyway.. the curry was ok.. lots of fish and vege, its a more yellowish type… probably the curry base they use is different but I still prefer thicker fish head curry.

Ku lou yok is not bad, pretty nice and vege is standard la… they have this pei par duck, about 20 plus for half a bird but we didn’t try this round. Even in the afternoon, thanks to the many fans they have… its still don’t feel too hot eating in the open. The bill came up to RM45 for all the above plus tea and rice for 4 of us .

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 .
