Feilo Heng was the third steamed song fish head we tried in our search for the best song fish head in Johor Bahru.
If you know any good steamed song fish head place, please share it with me 😊
Restoran Feilo Heng in Taman Anggerik is a large breezy and bright corner shop lot. It is very clean and well kept.
The 王 family running Feilo Heng hailed from Kota Bahru, Kelantan where they sold bak kut teh. They then moved to Kuala Lumpur where they learnt the craft of cooking steamed song fish head. Over a decade ago, the family moved to Johor Bahru and served steamed song fish head as well as bak kut teh. Feilo Heng's founder had passed on, and the restaurant is now run by his wife and two sons.
Feilo Heng's fish come live from Perak and are processed at the restaurant.
The steamed song fish head came in a pool of bubbling hot watery brown sauce.
The fish was blanketed in a thick green jacket of mashed ginger and a sprinkling of tiny fried garlic bits.
Feilo Heng's song fish was very fresh, in fact, the freshest we have tried in JB so far. The white flesh was tender and juicy. It tasted sweet and there was very little earthiness. The mashed ginger was just mildly spicy. The mashed ginger together with the savoury sauce combined very well with the sweet flesh. It was delicious.
The soft and smooth fatty belly was sweet.
The smoothest part of the fish was this ball of fat in the head. It was sweet and we happily ate all of it.
Johor Kaki reader Keith Timothy reminded me that the eyes is one of the litmus tests of the fish's freshness. I ate up this sweet gooey slippery soft gelatinous blob in an instant 😋
We also had the bak kut teh as it is one of Feilo Heng's popular dishes. It's the mildly savoury herbal type. The pork was done a little firm, stiff, chewy.
Feilo Heng offers the option of yam rice which we liked. It tasted sweet savoury with yam and a bit of pork in the tender nutty rice.
Recommended for you 👍 Good steamed song fish head in Johor Bahru with live fish and nice mashed ginger with savoury sauce.
⚠ Eating song fish head can be dangerous as the fish is very bony with big and small bones. The small bones are like tiny fish hooks with sharp barbs while big bones are like nails and razor blades. Please be very careful, especially with children or seniors.
