Treating my dad for his birthday and also letting him choose what he wants to have for his birthday lunch. Since we are heading to Haji Lane/Arab Street for sightseeing (under a freaking hot weather), he suggested trying Foo Chow cuisine. He said there is one along Beach Road but he didn't know of the restaurant name so I seek Mr Google's help and ta da.... here we are at Seow Choon Hua Restaurant (more like a small eatery or coffeeshop to me).

Don't know what got into him on having Foo Chow cuisine but he is the star of the day so let him be and also choose the dishes he wanna try.
FOO CHOW LOR MEE
 |
| Foo Chow Lor Mee |
The taste was so different from the usual thick and dark gravy Lor Mee. So light in taste and colour, like fish maw soup. It has what Lor Mee normally have but not the char siew and veggie thou. So different that I wanna have my usual bowl of Lor Mee to satisfy my palate the next day.
FISHBALL YENPI SOUP
 |
| Fishball Yenpi Soup |
Foo Chow fishball with meaty fillings and their Rou Yan 肉燕 that taste like a soup dumpling. Just that the skin was different (again). Not the type of skin you used to make dumplings or wonton but according to the source, they use pork and sweet potato flour to make. No wonder it doesn't have that under-cooked texture. This one was thin and soft with a little springy.
BAK KUT TEH MEE SUA

| Bak Kut Teh Mee Sua |
First time trying mee sua cooked in Bak Kut Teh soup (I usually go with claypot noodles or rice) and it was pretty good. There were veggie and sliced meat in the soup, on top of pork ribs. Overall, decent taste but not for the heavy taste bud.
Total cost for this meal along with 2 drinks is SGD30. Tell me if it is worthy my bucks and calories. But I have to say the auntie that serves our table is very nice and friendly and will suggest what we should try, and also bid us goodbye when we are ready to go off. Customer service at its best with such establishment.
Located at 33 Sultan Gate Singapore 198481, try it out yourself and probably you get something different out of the ordinary (the taste I mean) despite my little disappointment. Guess I'm not into Foo Chow cuisine after all.
See you on my next food adventure!
