Restaurant Hup Yik - Fuzhou Fish Balls
Tucked away under the underpass by the Pudu MarketMy Mum was sweet enough to loan us the use of her credit card. Basically, the place where we were supposed to pick up some equipment was running an offer with a particular bank whose credit card I didn't carry but Mum did. So there we were signing my life away - because I have to pay the monthly installments, and then I had a brainwave. Just 5 minutes down the road from where we were purchasing the equipment was this restaurant near Pudu market that sold the only Fuzhou Fishballs I knew of. Great stuff! I would take her there for lunch.
Fuzhou Fishballs are basically fishballs about the size of a golf ball, filled with minced pork. Not much in this world is better in my opinion.
The Fishballs and Kway Teow were divine. The stock was rich, flavoured with choy korn and it was a hearty enough lunch. Not a HUGE portion but plenty large enough for us. And Mum added a bowl of Sway Kow to it. Huge, meaty buggers! :-)
For drinks, Mum had a "Michael Jackson" and I stuck to my tried and true "Leong Fun." A "Michael Jackson" is soya bean drink with "leong fun" mixed in.

Leong Fun or Cincau - absolutely the best drink for a hot day

The fishballs here are really great. My experience with the red wine chicken wasn't so good, but I was told later that I should have requested for more wine in the dish.
