Popular Steam Fish (淡杯烫鱼) at Hin Hock Bak Kut Teh Restaurant (兴福) at Tampoi, Johor Bahru.
Restoran Hin Hock Bak Kut Teh
The Hin Hock Bak Kut Teh Restaurant is operating in an old wooden shop, and the place usually humid, hot and poor ventilation during day time...unless it's rain just like the good timing we had on our visit. Their speciality is the Steam Fish, wiht the different cooking method compare with others...they prepare the fresh fish in the hot boiling water, Not exactly steam it...unitl the fish is ready to serve. Interesting!
Indoor dining area
Outdoor dining area
We chose the outdoor area for better ventilation even on the raining day...
The cooking and foods preparation area is situated outside the restaurant, I felt they make more transperant to their customers is a good idea.
Their service was fast and good, and they only have few common dishes to serve which made the order process much more easier.
Our order :-
* Steam Tiplapia (fish)
* Minced pork oyster sauce bean curd (tou-fu)
* Claypot braised vinegar pork knuckle
* Minced pork bean sprout
Tampoi Hin Hock Steam Fish (淡杯兴福烫鱼)
The fish was fresh and nice! They boiled and served the fish on the perfect timing, and I like my every bite with the chopped spring onions and fried garlic very much! And don't forget with the onion and garlic sauce that served together with the fish...
I can't really tell the different between their cooking method and common steaming method, anyway...it taste Good!
The sauce served together with the fish
Minced pork oyster sauce bean curd (tou-fu)
The bean curd was soft and went well with the oysterf sauce and minced pork, the portion was big!
Claypot braised vinegar pork knuckle
The pork was tender and flavorful, the vinegar level was just nice which made the dish more tasty!
Minced pork bean sprout
The way the prepared it was special to me, hardly can see so much of topping of minced pork on the juicy bean sprout. Not bad!
They started the business since 20 years ago and become one of the 'Must Try' food if you visit Tampoi area. It's advise to visit the restaurant during the non-peak hour, that's why we stepped in about 11am...just to avoid the lunch hour crowd.
The photo I took of the outlook was the old shop, they had swifted to the new location on the same street about 200 meter away, just notice their signage for easy locate.
The Damage for the above dishes included drinks was RM71.00 for 4 adults. I will visit it again whenever I pass by, but...only during raining day...:)
