Have you eaten steamed fish with noodle before? I haven't. When this eatery suggested this dish to us, twice we rejected. It was only after a friend recommended it to us saying that it is very good, only then we got curious and wanted to try. The opportunity came when I was not in the mood to cook, so we decided to have this dish for special dinner.
We drove out early, about 5:30pm to Restoran WSF 33, Jalan Bharu (parallel to Jalan Tokong), Taman Hoover, Ipoh. We prefer to eat and leave early to avoid the dinner crowd.
If you have been following my blog, you would have noticed that lately we have been here quite often to try out the different types of steamed fish. This is the way to encourage hubby to eat fish.
Part of their menu.
We couldn't get our friends to join us since it was a last minute decision, so we ordered only 2 dishes without rice.
Blanched vegetable (choy fah).
Steamed Tilapia (smaller size) with koay teow (flat rice noodle). The koay teow was separated into 2 portions; one on each side of the fish.
So instead of rice, we had koay teow (noodle) with the fish and vegetable. Ipoh is known for its soft, silky koay teow. For those who love fish and koay teow, you will enjoy this dish. Hubby paid RM37 for the 2 dishes.

From my garden.
These are my cucumber plants.
Cucumbers harvested from my garden.
Instead of buying fresh coconut water, I have been blending cucumber juice for hubby and I. Sometimes we have it plain, sometimes I add some salted sour plum (assam boi) to the cucumber juice for extra flavour.
Some of the produce from my garden.
The extra will be shared with friends and neighbours.
Only the person involved can know his own bitterness
or joy - no one else can really share it.

The steamed fish looks so good! I love your homegrown vegetables, esp. the bitter gourds.
ReplyDeleteWe like this white bitter gourds so I will try to keep growing this in my garden. Not easy to get the seeds even from the plant nursery.
DeleteFish is so healthy! I hope you get your husband to eat it often.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ginny. He will eat when we dine out.
DeleteYour cucumbers look good.
ReplyDeleteLove fish but husband doesn't care for it often.
Thank you, Margaret. Your situation is same as mine.
DeleteThe vegetables look great. The fish head.. I could not ;-)
ReplyDeleteBut you are right, we should eat fish more often!
Thank you, Iris. Sorry about the fish head.
Deletefirst time i m seeing steamed tilapia with kuey teow!
ReplyDeleteYes, me too.
DeleteI can't remember having tilapia steamed, usually deep fried...and of course, we never had kway teow with it. My old landlady in Kuching in the 70's once cooked mee sua with ikan lumek and it was so delicious - never tried cooking my own, cannot stand the invisible bones in the fish.
ReplyDeleteWe seldom have fried tilapia, usually steamed. If fried, it is usually topped with Thai sauce.
DeleteI have eaten steamed fish slices with kway teow but not whole Steamed fish like whole Tilapia With Koay Teow. Doesn't the bone make it complex to eat? Love your Home Grown Cucumbers.
ReplyDeleteSurprisingly, we didn't have any problem with the fish bones. Hubby didn't even complain.
DeleteSo lovely to see your harvest! Noodle and steamed fish sounds interesting!

Thank you, Lovely.
DeleteI'd like to live in a house with a garden :)
ReplyDeleteYes, even a small garden will do.
DeleteI love fish but hubby doesn't. When we cruise I make sure I have fish once a day. I like tilapia but it is filleted. No head for me!
ReplyDeleteIt is the same with us. I love fish. At least hubby eats fish when we dine out so I am not complaining. Sorry about the head. Lol!
Delete...I like the menu boards!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tom.
DeleteLove all the fluffy clouds. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOh the food. I've not had breakfast yet. I want some of all that food.
You've such a wonderful green thumb.
Thank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday, Nancy. ♥
Thank you, Sandee. I do enjoy my gardening.
DeleteI am glad there were pictures of the food on the menu, because I don't read Chinese. Haha. I tend to like pasta more than rice, so your meal would appeal to me. Nice bounty from your garden!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Gigi. I only read a bit of Chinese so these pictures are very helpful.
Deletewow you are such a great green thumb gardener! Can you grow vegetables year round? Have a lovely and delicious day!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kathe. Yes, we can grow vegetables all year round because we don't have 4 seasons here.
Deleteit look very tasty!:)

ReplyDeleteThank you, Sakuranko.
DeleteNancy,what do you do in your garden to make your plants look very healthy?
ReplyDeleteThank you, Norma. Nothing special, just water and fertilizer.
DeleteYour produce always looks so fresh and inviting! Cucumber juice sounds very healthful.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mimi. Cucumber juice very refreshing and soothing to the throat.
DeleteRico pescado geniales legumbres. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteThank you, JP.
DeleteTilapia seems to have become the universal fish, served everywhere in the world.
ReplyDeleteI think it can breed easily and adaptable everywhere.
DeleteCucumber plants are rich in green, and your harvest from your garden is wonderful, and your sharing with neighbors reminds me of one of us who used to share bananas and stalks from their homegrown with us. Have a nice day
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jeevan. Have a nice weekend.
DeleteTu planta de pepino se ve muy bien y también tu cosecha, me encanta verla. Besos.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Teresa.
DeleteOh I've not seen kuey teow with fish like that. Only tunghoon with crab/fish on top. Interesting!
ReplyDeleteSame here. Glad it turned out quite nice.
