Hi CK, SOS…please help me hunt fah sang woo @ Pg Island! It’s my favourite since baby! The only place I saw this fah sang woo is at fancy restaurants like Starview and Maple Gold.. *sob sob* Anyone wanna start selling it as part time? Doubt there is any hawker stall @ Pg Island 
My dear, this has to be one of my favourite posts of yours cos I simply LOVE tong sui! But it’s so hard to get decent tong sui here in KL. Now I know where to go… just all the way up north! 
I wanna try that final bowl with all the add-ons so badly now, haha.

Life for Beginners – Looks like you have a sweet tooth too besides writing sweet and romantic words in your blog
New Kid On The Blog – Yes, it is, but it’s not easy finding a good and pungent fah sang woo. I am still looking for it, any suggestion?
Little Inbox – Most people that eat the fish beehoon sure have a bowl of the peanut tong sui to go with their meal. Give it a try.
the 1st time I ordered the Fa Sang Tong Sui in Pg, somewher ein Relau I think, was surprised, as I expected the thick, creamy Fa Sang Wu.
kinda strange drinking something like barley, but taste likepeanut.

Good tong sui is a rarity in Penang, unlike in Ipoh. In my early days in Penang, was wondering why peanut tong sui was watery. Anyway in Rome, do as the Romans do! In PJ SS2 there is KTZ which has good variety.
This looks really like a great night snack

Big Boys Oven – Can try having a bowl if time permits on your coming trip.
J2Kfm – This clear tong sui is mostly sold in Penang. It’s pretty difficult to find good fah sang woo…came across a few but not that nice.
Kaya MeeKoo – Will sure to try out the tong sui at Smith street if the timing is right…thanks.
lk – Try and see if it suits you.
Selba – Having a warm drink which is also filling is indeed nice
Hmm, I saw this type of peanut tong sui before, but it really didn’t manage to tempt me. I guess I still prefer Fah Sang Woo. If I’m not mistaken, the stall in Jelutong, opposite ‘Leng Lui Tong Sui’ sells fah sang woo as well. Need to double check that.

Oh, I think the next stall is selling siam bean curd and fried oyster which is quite good too. Anyway, thanks for reminding me to revisit this stall.

Talking about tongshui, there’s a tongshui stall owned by a lady who always wearing a checked cap/hat (like the burberry type ) at mount erskine. There is a makan place where they have alot of hawker stalls open during lunch hour. It is located along Mount Erskine road approaching Fettes Park area, on the left side infront of the fettes park housing area.
She sells all sorts of thong shui which not could not be found easily nowadays.. Sweet potato sago with santan, gandum, peanut thongsui, bee kok moi, lek tao thng..etc
Very nice..
soo sean – Very nice of you for sharing…like to try those too.
anonymous – Thanks for dropping in my food blog and sharing the places that you know. The fah sang woo sounds good
It’s me again Now i suddenly remember there is this shop at one of the shop lots at the back of new world park. Opposite road of continental bakery, i once saw there’s a shop selling all sorts of thong sui like black sesame tongshui, fa sang woo, etc etc but not i’m not sure they still have it there.. have not tried b4.
I used to buy fa sang wu from a old man selling economy bee hoon at air itam at night. Very old school type and it’s thicky and nice. Not too sweet, just taste right. But i stopped taking it for several years until last year, i dropped by the place and realize that the stall is now owned by a younger boy also selling economy bee hoon and other types of thong sui. I m not sure if he is related to the old man or not. Asked for Fa sang wu but he said no more, not sure what he meant by no more – finished or not selling that anymore. So instead, i tried his peanut thong sui (not the thick one), not bad but abit too sweet..the stall is located at opposite Lai Lai air itam, after the roundabout on the way to penang hill.
By the way, next time I go home we can go makan together.
