In Dec 2023 the heritage Foochow Restaurant at Blacksmith Road finally closed its doors after more than 70 years of business. The older family members called it a day and the old chefs retired.
Even the waitresses cheerfully bade farewell to many of their loyal customers in the last few months of 2023. They would not consider joining the new outfit which will move to Alan Road in Upper Lanang.
At the time of writing I have not been able to visit Sibu. So I cannot say anything about the new restaurant.
But I will always remember the siew muai, the Foochow char chii mien, the moon mien...and the sweet and sour fish. But most obviously they had the best Steamed Tapah fish..all hot and fresh...The restaurant was the first one to seve sizzling tofu too.
The restaurant actually is older than I.
