Restoran Soon Hock: An Accidental Discovery

Restoran Soon Hock 顺福 was an accidental discovery – the happiest accident-ever! I was led to believe that it is the same restaurant that I’ve been to, as it was mentioned here that Restaurant Soon Hock was previously known as Restoran Ah Soon. Yupe, Restoran Ah Soon in the same neighborhood was my intended destination, one I visited previously with my elder brother.

So, I called ahead to Restoran Soon Hock and book a table for our family dinner, not knowing that it was a different restaurant altogether! My siblings arrived at Restoran Soon Hock, following the Waze location I sent … on the other hand, I arrived at Restoran Ah Soon, realizing the boo-boo I made. And to add insult to the injury, Soon Hock told my sis that no reservation made under my name. Luckily, at 6.30pm, my sis managed to get a table to fit all 15 pax of us.

Elder brother prefers Restoran Soon Hock’s steamed fish, versus Restoran Ah Soon … “sweeter”, he said.

“Naked” chicken
Stout ribs
Siew pak choy
Fu yong egg
Homemade tofu
Stir fry long bean with salted egg

The bill came up to RM 245 for 15 pax for a tummy-happy-licious food, cheap!

Not Your Typical Tourist

A passionate advocate for independent and solo travel, I traded life in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, for the vibrant streets of Bangkok, Thailand. This shift is all thanks to a "chance encounter" in 2009 that led to marriage with my Thai husband. I currently split my time between Bangkok (my main base) and Kuala Lumpur for family—documenting the unique blend of a Malaysian life lived abroad.
