black bean sauce song fish head 松鱼头

went to eat black bean sauce song fish head 松鱼头 at hk Street Chun Kee 香港街珍记on 3.9.2016.^^

it is located on  level 2 of commonwealth crescent food centre. 🙂

HK Street Chun Kee 香港街珍记

its quite crowded at 630pm on a saturday.

last time i blog about this place was in dec2013. 🙂

black bean sauce song fish head 松鱼头

the paste was among the best i had.

fish head was very fresh, w/o any fishy taste, meat was tasty, & above all the paste was really excellent.

it was a quite different presentation from-

1. HK street sum kee at alexandra village
2. HK street old chun kee at commonwealth drive
3. two chefs eating place at commonwealth crescent

all the above3 have a more liquid sauce, whereas this one at the commonwealth crescent food centre has a quite viscous paste.

this preparation looks like dry steaming w/o collecting the condensation then adding the paste on top.

most recommended methods steam the fish head separately (& remove the water to remove any fishy taste), then add the paste/sauce on top.

my own spicy black bean sauce fish head

for me i am lazy to do that, so i washed the fish head with salt, then add the paste & steam in the steam oven.

i did that for a 6pax lunch on 1.8.2016. the result was almost as good la…

garlic steamed bamboo clams 蒜蓉蒸 – S$6.90each

children were out this evening. had a 2pax dinner with wife at ah yat grandstand on 2.9.2016. ^^

food is consistently good here, and there are dishes we like here which are for me very good value for the price. so ordering the right dishes meaning food you like & good value is the key.

like we had excellent 6pax lunch here recently on 26.7.2016. such great dishes for 6pax including whole peking duck, alaskan crab tanhoon, live soon hock fish & 2 crab dishes at S$188!

garlic steamed bamboo clams 蒜蓉蒸 – S$6.90each

this evening only 2 of us.

we ordered the live garlic steamed bamboo clams 蒜蓉蒸, always good here, done just right texture & the HK steam garlic sauce so tasty la!

they don’t do it with tanhoon here, but say tunglok does with tanhoon but the taste of the gluey sauce was inferior to here at ah yat.

gongbao frogs宫保田鸡 – 2 frogs S$5.40 each

we have not taken live bull frogs here for a long time.

the gongbao sauce & preparation though was not as good as G7 sinma.

gongbao frogs宫保田鸡 – 2 frogs S$5.40 each

srill it was very fresh & tasty on its own.

sambal tua tau – 600g S$19.80/kg

they did not have manila clams this evening.

the sambal tua tau was good, but in comparison the poorest of the 4 dishes.

i asked the server, they recommended sambal, which is the traditional way in every zi char & restaurants.

sambal tua tau – 600g S$19.80/kg

& it was done competently, as good as any zi char really.

i love the steamed manila clams i had here the last time. maybe should try steamed tua tau also next time if no manila clams….
