Lean Hong Restaurant (Pauline Certified) — Restaurant in Penang

A small shop that serves fish noodles in clear or sour & spicy soup in a peaceful kampung area. The grouper fish fillet was big, very fresh (no fishy smell) and juicy ; but do take note that it has bones, so be careful when savouring the fish fillets.

Overall, a great lunch spot for an affordable fish...

Upon finishing, I was very tempting to try one of their signatures - Fish Maw Soup. I never had this in the morning but it may not be a bad idea to have a hot soup in such a cooling morning. It's worth for money and tastes good. Personally I like it very much.

This is my first time to be here. This is definitely a hidden jem. People in the shop are all very friendly, wearing a smile...
