Village Fish Head Bee Hoon — Restaurant in George Town

On the table is the ever popular tomyum with instant noodles and fried fish meat, enoki mushroom and Chinese mustard greens (RM11).

The spice is tolerable but because of its thickness, it sticks and burns on the throat much longer. The value though is something less desired and this time around, I find no difference between KL/PJ prices with Penang now.

Village Fish Head Bee Hoon is located few steps away from Chew Jetty, Penang. Queues are imminent and the wait time is 30 minutes during dinner. Order at the front, get a number, prices next door for Al fresco dining. Pay when you get your food. Parking is non existent, so either walk or e-hail but if parking is needed, there are off street opposite which will make crossing the road an experience for the weak hearted.

Went there on the third day of my 4 days stay and promptly went back on the last day as well. Had fish soup with the works including fresh fish maw which was very delicious. There are 2 options of soup bases- clear and Tom Yum. I had the clear soup on both occasions and tried the fresh sliced fish; fish head and fried sliced fish. All of them were excellent! Very fresh and tasted very good. The soup was very tasty and complimented the fish without over-powering it.

Don't expect an air conditioned dining area but there were sufficient fans to keep us cool whilst savouring the piping hot mouth-watering soup.

Also worth mentioning is the herbal tea (Liang Teh) which packed a lot of flavour unlike some places which tend to be more sugary than anything else. Their dried longan drink (geng geng) also tasted excellent! Both are great thirst quenchers at...

We heard that this place is famous for their fish head noodle so we came for lunch since we were visiting nearby jetties.

You choose the fish toppings which are mostly fried (alternative to fried fish head), the type of noodle and the soup base.

We ordered one rice noodle in clear soup and one instant noodle in tom yum base. Same fried fish head toppings for both.

I recommend the rice noodle in clear soup because it allows you to taste the natural flavour of the fish (topping).

I absolutely not recommend the tom yum. It didn't seem like Thai tom yum but some sort of Korean instant spicy noodles flavour. It was way too overpowering that I couldn't taste anything other than the spiciness. It ruined the entire dish.

The fried fish head topping was ok. Nothing that I...
