Tuck Sai Cafe — Restaurant in George Town

This is an old school coffee shop located in a residential area. They serve dim sum in the morning and at night they have the mushroom chicken hor fun soup. There is another stall serving fried snacks as well.

I ordered a Korean pancake, a set of fried belacan chicken, and kerabu tofu as well as the mushroom chicken hor fun. The fried side dishes exceeded my expectations.

If you know Cantonese, chat with the lady at the stall, she can be quite chatty in that dialect. Please try the green siu mai, which has celery inside... it really balances the...

It was something different from an ordinary ipoh chicken hor fun. Basically there are two broths, one is a lightly taste chicken soup while the other one is a thick broth consisting diced chicken pieces and mushroom.

It is then topped with green onion and some chopped red chilli.

The whole bowl of hor fun should be mixed thoroughly. You can feel a war on your tongue.

It is very nice for the past 10 times I went.however,this time was slightly on the salty side. Hope they will try to maintain the god...
