We got to know about Restaurant Soon Wah in Taman Berkeley actually through a friend’s instagram story, and thought that since this place is relatively close, perhaps we should check it out, so we did, without any expectations.
Taman Berkeley Soon Wah Restaurant
As it turned out, Soon Wah is one actually one of the more famous restaurants around Klang, with many actually travel from different parts of Klang Valley specifically to have their signature dish – the fish soup pot, a dish we didn’t even know during our first visit.
Soon Wah is located at a corner lot in Taman Berkeley where parking isn’t too much of a challenge. The restaurant is partially air conditioned, with an aquarium displaying some live fish for order, and those classic red table cloths.
their famous fish pot is what we’re here for
Ordering is done via talking to the server without any menu, and this is why we missed out fish pot in the first round.
Over the last two visits, we had their watermelon pork ribs twice – a dish that is as creative as it is tasty. The balls of fresh watermelon goes surprisingly well with sweet, savory contrast of ribs. A must order.
pork ribs with watermelon, fried sweet potato leave
The signature fish soup pot comes with a mixture of (what I think are) healthy ingredients – fresh fish meat of your preferred cuts (meat, head, tail), mushroom, tomato, seaweed, and even yam, all in a soup base that I can only describe as heartwarming. The soup can be had with steamed rice, or you can be like Mark, who asked for raw meehun to be cooked in as well.
Perfect dish to have especially on a rainy day.
claypot tofu with seafood, kailan with roast pork
Other dishes I’ve tried there includes their claypot seafood and tofu, kailan with roast pork, and fried sweet potato leaves with garlic. These were as good as any and make for adequate companion dishes. Will be trying more of their offerings in the future for sure.

I came across similar watermelon pork ribs (or Gu Lou Yoke?) dish at Paris Restaurant at SS2, hehe, very novelty indeed.
I hope there’s salted veggies in that fish pot, did it?
hoi Yen: yeaaa, memang SS2 new paris also was my first time having this but I think with chicken. Yes I believe got some salted vege if not mistaken. lol
Watermelon pork ribs?! So unique, can’t imagine the taste!
Charmaine: only one way to find out!
I would definitely enjoying that awesome fish pot since fish and soup is my thing. So nourishing and heartwarming like you said. Just that alone and I’m satisfied. ^_~
eatwhateatwhere: yesss, especially if the weather is cold, imagine having this at genting or Cameron highlands kan.
I like all of the vibrant colours in these dishes.
Monica: eat your rainbow, right?
