On the recommendation of a friend of my Dad's, we decided to try out the freshwater prawn noodles (sang har meen) in Pusing, more specifically, the one from Ming Feong Restaurant. Went there for lunch one Sunday. The place was packed but we were lucky some customers just vacated a table when we arrived. We ordered 'sang har meen' for 4 pax, a bowl of 'sui kau' (6 pieces) and an order of the curiously named 'kau chai ngap' to 'ta pau' (takeaway). The 'sang har meen' was quite good. The soup was full of flavour (a bit salty for me, though) and very 'prawn-y'. The prawns were quite big and fresh while the noodles, erm....while springy in the begining, turned a little soggy towards the end. The 'sui kau', however, was nothing special - can get the same anywhere.
Now, what in the world is 'kau chai ngap' (direct translation : puppy duck). Be assured there was no puppy in this dish, only duck. It's a delicious dish in which duck and old ginger were stewed with herbs and spices in a claypot of dark gravy and garnished with loads of spring onions. Very fragrant and the meat was not chewy at all. Nice. I thought I could taste yam in the gravy but I can't be sure lor because nobody else tasted it (something wrong with my tongue???)
Ming Feong Restaurant is situated at the Main Road in Pusing.
