Sum Sum Yi Fatt (3328) Restaurant

There are aplenty of restaurants located in my neighbourhood. Many of them just came and gone with a wind, without having the chance to try them out. However, only handful of them managed to cling on their business for several years until this very day. Sum Sum Yi Fatt (3328) Restaurant is one of them. 

Sum Sum Yi Fatt (3328) Restaurant is located by the road side, same row with Fresh Hotel, en routing from Falim to Ipoh-Lumut Expressway. 

Occupied a two storey shop lot, 3328 houses up to 20 odd tables. Do not be midjudged by the "emptiness" of the restaurant, this is a jammed, packed place for dinner for the locals, especially during weekends and Public Holidays.

Suck up a glass of refreshing Lime Juice, while ordering our dishes for the night. Self-prepared Sugarcane is not bad either. By the time you taste the drink, the dishes are already on the table, that is the promptness of their service, on a weekday night of course.


Steamed Snakehead (清蒸油浸生鱼)

This is the 1st dish made out of Snakehead (生鱼), a type of local fresh water fish. I had to compliment the freshness of the fish where it is skinned from a living fish, and the accompanying soy sauce isn't too salty too, just nice! This dish would easily be my favourite of the night.

Stir-fried Snakehead (姜葱生鱼)

This is the second dish made of the same Snakehead, where the meat is skinned out and stir-fried with ginger and scallion. This dish comes with richer flavour, but less tenderness as compared to the former dish. The whole plate was gone, minutes after it was served, need I say more?!

Stir-fried Snakehead with Bitter Gourd (生鱼炒苦瓜)

 Snakehead Soup (生鱼滾枸杞叶汤) 

Soup is one of the must-have dishes in our usual Cantonese meal. The left over meat and bones of the fish are boiled together with Wolfberry leaves into a bowl of soup. The soup is refreshing and the leaves are crunchy. No wonder the trio of dishes are their signatured dishes.

Cripsy Roasted Duck (脆皮烧鸭)

Boiling oil is splashed onto the roasted duck before serving, which makes the skin crispy and also the name of the dish. However, it is still under-achiever compared to the next shop's roasted duck, especially in terms of the dipping sauce.

Steamed Tilapia (酱蒸金凤鱼)

One of the regular dishes ordered during eating out in Chinese restaurant. The fresh water fish is steamed and topped with sweet & sour bean curd sauce.First and foremost the fish doesn't tasted muddy, that's a relief!  

Mongolian Pork Spare Ribs (蒙古排骨) 

The spare rib is one of the dishes listed on their Special Daily Menu. The ribs are chopped into bite-size and topped with Mongolian sauce, which tasted sweet, sour and milky too. Not bad either, one of the recommended dishes by the waitress.

Deep fried Squids with Salted Eggs (咸蛋鱿鱼)

Fried stuff is always one of our favourite dish during eating out. Anything goes well with salted egg. A great combination of deep fried and salted egg, however the squid would taste even better if it was cooked with a smaller ones. No doubt it is an unhealthy food, yet everyone seems to like it.

Chili Pepper Squid (椒盐炸苏东)

Deep Fried Soft Shell Crab (炸软壳蟹)

Stir-fried Kai-lan with Roasted Pork Spare Ribs (芥兰炒烧肉)

Kai-lan a.k.a.Chinese Broccoli, although I don't see any resemblance, is pretty crunchy after stir-fried; the roasted pork are slightly fatty to my liking though. Just a so-so average Joe.

Claypot Pork Belly with Salted Fish (咸鱼花腩煲)

Sliced pork belly is braised together salted fish, which the fragrance to the dish. However, it still isn't no way near the standard set by Oversea Restaurant, which is one of their signature dishes.

Salad Chicken (沙律鸡)

Stir-fried Paku vegetable (炒蕨菜)

Paku is a type of fiddlehead fern, where it is widely used in Asian culinary. Paku is slightly stir-fried and topped with lime juice and soy sauce. This dish is very appetizing and refreshing, not to mention crunchy, the only texture I preferred when eating vegetables.

Stir-fried Potato Leaves (清炒薯苗)

Sambal Prawn with Stinky Prawns (叁笆臭豆虾)

Freshly plucked stinky beans from Cameran Highlands are cooked in sambal style with prawns, but still haven't perfected as good as the Thai restaurant. 

3328 Restaurant served as one of the favourites among the locals, where you will find it full house during weekends. Of course, the restaurant offers a very reasonable pricing for Chinese Restaurant meal. However, what you pay is what you get, don't put too high expectation on it, if you're comparing with the high end restaurants.
