Hooi Wang Restaurant
Citizens of Bukit Mertajam should not be strangers to Hooi Wang 辉煌 restaurant, famed for its steamboat. While only steamboat is available at the main branch in Taman Sri Rambai, the other branch located in Taman Mutiara serves both steamboat and Chinese dishes. Please pardon some of the blurry photos due to the restaurant’s lighting.
We began our dinner with Stir Fried Vegetables with Salted Pork. The salted pork are actually marinated three layer pork (pork bellies). While googling for “salted pork” Lilian’s salted pork recipe was one of the results lol.
Steamed Tau Fu that tastes like tau fu fa, but with dried shrimps and mushroom as the topping instead of brown sugar. Very smooth, melts instantly in your mouth :drool:
The Kam Heong Chicken here is quite special because unlike the usual style, it is fried first then cooked with some kind of sweetish curry powder.
Ahh.. this is the nicest among the dishes we ordered – Stewed Pork Leg 红烧猪脚, definitely must try! The skin and the thick layer of fat is really really unhealthy.. but too good to resist 
This meal costed us RM76 inclusive of a big bottle of beer and a plate of fried mee tiao. I think it was quite reasonable, as all dishes were in large portions.
*Wanna clarify something here.. “Hooi Wang” has only one branch. The one in Taman Sri Rambai is actually “Hooi Kee”, I got their names wrong all this while lol

Ya. The Kam Heong chicken is very nice. It’s recommended for all. Meanwhile, the pork is too fattening. Too much fat. Yucks!

Naah, the better one is Mei Xin, just located behind Hooi Wang.
vk: Yes you are right! Mei Xin is much better! but their cleanliness could use some improvement… The dish I like most in Mei Xin is their curry shark.. super nice!

Hi Ah Gie, Le Yuan was my family’s regular restaurant last time. I did snap some photos but they looked ugly so I didn’t post them until now. You forgot to mention their extremely fast service too

first time at this restaurant today. understand the restaurant moved from the inner area to the one near the main road. if this is the very same restaurant mentioned, then below is my comment.
Food:
So-so. Don’t try the tofu plus the minced crab meat. A recommended one and it costs around RM10 for the smallest bowl but it’s tasteless! More like just slurping H2O.
Price:
Expensive. Charge around RM40 for just 3 dishes. Charged by the lady boss for 2 persons dishes.
Service Response:
) The lady boss is arrogant and showing her bad mood towards us – she responses like she’s on PMS roll.
the service is slow and bad – waiters response after few calls and no one will be around for billing. (probably one of the restaurant ppl could walk away easily.
Comment:
NOT RECOMMENDED.
I doubt I will give this restaurant another visit nor recommend it given if this is such a service from the restaurant boss and such food quality. In fact, Luk Yuen restaurant( i think that’s how it’s spelt) near the bukit tengah roundabout will likely be recommended more. Price ranges reasonable to cheap. Food quality is good. Service response is quite fast. Just one thing, it will be fully packed most of the time.
