Goon Wah Restaurant

I have been eating in this restaurant many times. I have not been to this restaurant recently. It is open only on weekdays and is closed on weekends. This makes me think of how good the business is to sustain themselves. Due to the opening hours, it is hard for me to visit this restaurant unless when there is a public holiday which falls on weekdays.
They are famous for their XO fish head noodles which contains but what I love more is the Marmite Chicken Wing and Pork Intestine. Depending on the time you arrive, the restaurant can be really packed with customer or they may be tables available when you arrive. I find that the crew always do their best to serve their customers in terms of speed of service and quality of food.
There are two parts to the restaurant, one with air-​conditioning and one without. I will recommend to take the tables in the area with air-​conditioning as it will be more comfortable to eat.
For dessert, you should try their Ais Kacang. Best to be taken after food.

Goon Wah Restaurant is known as one of the famous restaurant in the town, which serves Fish Head Noodles. It is always being one of the top list for its fish head noodles (don’t believe me? Google!). In my opinion, Goon Wah serves the best Fish Head Noodles in town. 5 stars from me to Goon Wah as below:
1^st star: The fish head noodles is served in clay pot, to maintain its hot temperature.
2^nd star: Free flow of soup refill. You do not have to ask for it, they will come and refill for you.
3^rd star: Except fish head noodles, they serve other delicious food as well, such as chicken wings, pork intestines (I LOVE THIS!), and tong sui as well. I LOVE THEIR ginkgo nuts barley. But i have yet to try out the chicken wings, saw a lot of tables ordered that, maybe should try it next time.
4^th star: Reasonable price. My last order: 2 – 3 persons serving of fish head noodles, pork intestines, and 3 bowls of tong sui, cost about RM45.
5^th star: Quick service, although it is always crowded.
Highly recommended. Thinking of it, I feel hungry already. yummy!

If you are going to eat just one thing here, it’s got to be the XO fish head noodles. Their version is slightly saltier and you find that the noodles are thicker than the original. I personally perfer the mee hoon they serve in a restaurant in Klang, but I’m not judging on the quality Goon Wah ladles up. The broth is quite clear with a strong fishy taste and filled to the brim with fried fish pieces, yam, ginger, tomatoes, salted cabbage and spring onions. If all things fail, the broth surely did not disappoint, very tasty and perfect on the palate. We lapped it up almost immediately and had to ask for a refill which, wait for it… it’s FREE! If you miss soup, this is what you must try at least once, with a huge spoon.

Solid five stars from me because the food here is really that great. Located near the Shell station when you turn onto Kuchai Lama after Old Klang Road, this restaurant is quite famous and sees eager diners from around KL/​PJ every day. Needless to say, lunch time is super peak hour so come early to avoid the crowd.
The XO fish head noodles here is really something else. The broth is complex and flavourful, complemented by generous helpings of fried fish head, yam, pickled vege, and tomatoes. Soup is refillable for free — amazing. The sizzling lou shu fun is also top notch, with generous bits of dried shrimp, deep fried pork lard and spring onion.
Other dishes to try include their double marinated chicken wings and yam stewed pork with mantou. Fantastic food in a rather old-​school shoplot restaurant, this is as good as it gets when it comes to fish head noodles.

I remember walking over from school to this restaurant, located right opposite my previous primary and high school, we never had to worry about «What to eat ah?» whenever we had to stay back after classes.
Goon Wah is well known for two dishes in particular, the XO Fish Head Noodle, and their Claypot Lou Shu Fun which translates directly into Rat Tail Noodle. Fret not; no rats were harmed in the process, just kidding. Like I said, it’s merely a direct translation.
We started off with the XO Fish Head Noodle. Be ready to feast your eyes on the colorful ingredients if you can see through all the steam from the piping hot broth. Topped with salted vegetables, spring onions, onion stalks, tomato slices yam, and finally the star, a huge piece of fish head, definitely appetizes the eyes and activates your salivary glands. The soup is slightly on the salty side and not as milk as other Fish Head Noodles. My friends and I couldn’t really taste the alcohol in the soup, probably burned off in the cooking process.
The best part of this dish? THE SOUP IS REFILABBLE FOR FREE OF CHARGE!

Ordering might be a little difficult if you don’t speak Mandarin and the menu is written in Mandarin on a huge piece of board hanged on the wall.
The workers are attentive and quick at taking orders.
I would rate the Fish Head Noodle a 9/​10, scoring a high rating because of the FREE REFILLABLE SOUP!
