Restaurant Fu Kua: A Bitter Gourd Haven in Petaling Jaya

Fu Kua always is a comfy dining spot with family or friends. I love how extensive their menu is, and how every dish is just well balanced. Their creativity with bitter gourd is just off the roof! Highlights are the Orh Nee 芋泥 and 苦瓜焖马友

The theme ingredient of this Chinese restaurant is bitter gourd. It is found in most dishes and drinks. Either order dishes, or single meals. The fish head noodles with bitter gourd (RM11 for small, but feeds 2 in my opinion) is delicious, and the quality of the fish is good. Do remember to ask for their sambal. The mixed pork soup with bitter gourd is not cloudy, with no unpleasant organ meat taste. The bitter gourd with pineapple drink (RM6.90) is refreshing. The food is pretty cheap considering that its an air-conditioned restaurant. Not very good ventilation though.

They offer a variety of bitter gourd dishes. Simple, delicious, quick and satisfying

Been to this place a few times and it does not disappoint me. Price is reasonable and the food is good.

Fu Kua lives up to its name, specializing in excellent bitter gourd dishes. Don't expect fancy plating, but the food is genuinely good. Service is impressively fast, making it ideal for a quick, satisfying meal. The restaurant maintains a clean and simple atmosphere, focusing on the quality of its food. If you appreciate honest, well-executed Cantonese cuisine, particularly bitter gourd, Fu Kua is a worthy visit. It's a no-frills experience that delivers on taste and efficiency.

One of our fave restaurants to go for good comfort food at an affordable price. My mum loved to order their fried rice with vegetable curry and steamed fish with ginger sauce. So, so good! Other recommendations are their salted egg bittergourd dish or mixed veg salted egg dish, salted egg sotong, sweet and sour pork, tofu dishes...pretty much everything is decent.

Who would have thought you could open a restaurant with just one ingredient - bitter gourd. I'm hardly a bitter gourd fan, so was pretty reluctant to try out the restaurant when I first heard of it. The restaurant is located behind Taman Megah Specialist Centre and Cash Converters. They have a big signage just right outside the restaurant, so it's very easy to spot them. They have a really extensive menu but with no photos AT ALL! So, you really need to take some time to read through all of them. If you have low tolerance on bitter gourd, then you can try their Stir Fried Bitter Gourd with Salted Egg. Personally, I felt this is one of the few "harmless" dishes on the menu. You don't really taste too much of the bitterness. However, if you absolutely love bitter gourd, then go ahead and order the bitter gourd soup. I dare not to try it, but my parents said it was really good. Overall, the food there was not too bad and you would definitely have a field day if you like bitter gourd a lot. However, the pricing could be a little bit high.
