Had a quick brunch here after a friend's recommendation and was surprised at the crowd on a Tuesday morning.
Made sense when the dim sum was served as everything was pretty solid but the highlights for me where the char siew pao (fluffy and packed), Portuguese egg tarts (divine!), and most surprisingly, the mango pudding which tasted like a gorgeous mango lassi in pudding form.
(Rating: 5/5🌟) One of the best portuguese egg tarts I’ve ever had. The combination buttery flaky puff pastry & creamy egg custard is just perfect! Best enjoyed when it’s hot and fresh from the oven 💯 Trust me, one is never enough 😂

If I were to rank dim sum joints in Malaysia, Foo Hing would come first as above average; Jin Xuan second as average; and Hoong Foong the last as below average.
✨ I can confidently proclaim Foo Hing’s version of the Portuguese egg tart as the best in Malaysia. Its crisp, flaky shell and smooth egg custard filling are to die for. My favourites at the eatery would be the Teochew dumplings, their rice dishes (available as lunch specials), siumai, stir-fried radish cake, the pan-fried dumpling, and the salted egg custard buns. Honestly, the good quality and freshness of ingredients make almost everything on the menu good. Something noteworthy is that the workers at Foo Hing are all really attentive and serve with a smile on their faces despite being super busy.
💬 If you’re coming here for your breakfast dim sum fix, expect long queues. I would suggest coming for lunch instead to beat the crowd (and so you can try the rice too hehe).
Amidst the throng of dim sum joints dotting Puchong, it is Foo Hing that wins the favour of most. Come weekend mornings, the large hall setting fits the bill for all dim sum devotees, be it with families or friends. Take your pick from a menu of made-to-order morsels, which includes delicious classics like juicy Siew Mai (RM5) and Fried Fish Balls (RM4.50) laced with chillies. It is, however, the sharing plates that shine here. Order the Fried Radish Cake (RM6) that sees large, moreish radish cubes fried with beansprouts and chives to wok hei perfection. The Steamed Golden Paste With Custard Buns (RM5.50 for three) also nails it with firm golden buns coddling a sweet-salty oozesome centre. For a finale, get the Portuguese Egg Tart (RM2.30). Tastemaker Ben Gee describes the dessert to be a "buttery and flaky pastry shell with a creme brulee-like custard filling." These tarts are sure to leave you wanting seconds, so snag a few more to bring home with you!

Buttery and flaky pastry shell with a crème brûlée like custard filling. The caramelised top with the silky eggy creaminess tasted heavenly, leaving me craving for seconds. The pastry crackles audibly and disintegrates almost immediately as I bite into it.
RM2.30 per piece
