Day +1068 : Lunch at Fu Gua Thong Restaurant (天天来苦瓜汤)

I am fine today.

After church service today, we had lunch at Fu Gua Thong Restaurant. The restaurant is always packed with people, and many customers have to queue up for their turn to dine during weekends.

The signature dish of this restaurant as its name implied is Fu Gua Thong (苦瓜汤). Just in case you don’t know what is that; Fu Gua Thong simply means bitter gourd soup :-)

Most people especially children normally don’t like bitter gourd as it is bitter, but my eldest son, Daniel, told me that he liked the soup very much; it tasted different from the bitter gourd that we cooked at home.

We don’t know what make the bitter gourd soup so different that even children also like it. My wife said it is probably due the way they cut the bitter gourd; slice it into very thin slices. In order to subtantiate this "hypothesis", we will try to cut the bitter gourd in this way next time and see if it tastes differently :-)

Apart from bitter gourd soup, there is nothing special about this restaurant. Recommended only if you like Fu Gua Thong.

The address of the restaurant is No. 32-G, Jalan Puteri 2/4, Bandar Puteri, 47100 Puchong, Selangor. H/P: 016-7100006.
