Sitiawan's hockchiew food


Sitiawan is one of the few places in Peninsular Malaysia where you can find Hockchiew food. Hockchiew food is, well, different when compared to the more well-known Nyonya, Cantonese, Hainanese, Hockkien and Hakka dishes. We first tasted food in Sitiawan maybe more than 20 years ago and we liked it, and we never fail to go search for Hockchiew dishes whenever we are around the place. Right now, our favourite restaurant is the Lido Seafood Restaurant and as you can see from the pictures, these are our three favourite dishes.

Sitiawan mee suah cooked in red rice wine
Chunky fish maw soup

Sitiawan-style fried oyster in egg. Definitely crispier and less oily than the version in Penang
