XO Fish Head Noodle (XO鱼头米)

This Claypot XO Fish Head Noodle (XO鱼头米) is one of Goon Wah’s signature dishes. Unlike fish head noodle at other places, Goon Wah’s version is towards the salty side. Also, thick vermicelli which resemble ‘lai fun’ is used instead of the usual thin ones. The broth is not milky but quite clear and loaded with ingredients like chunks of fried fish head, spring onions, yam, ginger, tomatoes and salted vege slices. I couldn’t really taste the XO but the soup is extremely flavorful and delicious. And did I tell you that you can refill the soup at no charge? YES, soup refill is FOC!!! A highly recommended dish at Goon Wah!
