teochew dishes
had a jumbo S$100 e-voucher expiring 9.11.2017 that can be used at chui huay lim, got my OPS bros to join me for a 5pax dinner on 3.11.2017. ^^
ter kar ton – pig trotter jelly S$12
i need to order like S$200 to use the S$100 e-voucher.
it’s more convenient now withe-voucher only need to show my ic. service was good. the young guy is from shandong jinan (provincial capital). he helped me to compute the food orders & i managed to order about S$203 including tea (S$1.20pax quite ok) & nuts (S$2/plate also ok), so i can apply the S$100 vouchers discounts. 🙂
the ter kar ton – pig trotter jelly S$12 was competent, ok…i had better ones…
hae chor – ngoh hiang prawn rolls S$12
hae chor – ngoh hiang prawn rolls S$12 was very good, very tasty. 🙂
crab meat fish maw soup S$42
the crab meat fish maw soup S$42 also very good, chokeful of ingredients & mostly importantly a very tasty stock! 🙂
the hae chor & this crabmeat fish maw soup are what i would order if i come again. 🙂
1/2 braised duck S$32
the 1/2 braised duck S$32 was the worst dish we had this evening, a disaster considering that braised duck & goose are like the signatures of every good teochew restaurant.
we ordered 1/2 duck S$32 according to menu, but it came as a plate of sliced meat.
there was no options for 鸭片&鸭肉as in many teochew restaurants, and it makes NO sense to serve 1/2 duck in this manner. it did not look like 1/2 duck at all & we did not feel there were thigh meat, only breast meat.
i will NEVER EVER order this dish here again! FULLSTOP!
we should have just rejected the dish la! lol! 🙂
i guess to be fair duck itself was passable, a bit soft & bland in taste with no texture c/w eating a proper duck meat – a style i do not like…
orh lua – oyster omelette S$20
there was cold crab available this evening.
& i absolutely refused to order any fish here! like S$110 for a treadfin fish tail & pomfret etc.
very easy to do just as good steam fish at home for 10% the cost.
pepper beef fillet S$14
the pepper beef fillet S$14 was excellent.
this not the chinese tenderised beef cube style which very artificially tender & overly sweet.
this a bit like korean or western fillet style, done very nicely & even came with caramelised onions.
pepper beef fillet S$14
certainly a dish i would order again…very good for the price! ^^
string beans 四季豆 S$14
the string beans 四季豆 S$14 was expensive like many vegetable dishes these days. it was quite tasty though, so quite fine by me.
seafood mee sua S$22
the seafood mee sua was nice, flavourful. my friends liked it, said good wok hae, and tasty.
seafood mee sua
& small serving S$22 good enough for 5pax…
orh nee – yam paste S$5/bowl
i didn’t think much of the orh nee – yam paste S$5/bowl. S$25 for 5pax & quite bland & tasteless, not “pang” not flavourful.
a really good one would be like at fragrant garden – then it would be worth eating.
dinner came to about S$121 after S$100 voucher discounts, so for that price then it was pretty decent food to have for 5pax!
