Teochew Restaurant

Had an early reunion dinner with my boyfriend's family at the Teochew Restaurant Huat Kee on Amoy Street. It's supposed to be a pretty good restaurant but I guess that they were just really packed this weekend. The dishes came very fast one after the other, as though they were rushing for time. The standard of the food also wasn't all that fantastic.

The menu:

Lo Hei Yu Sheng - Ok, but wasn't mixed properly, so I got a very sour portion with alot of lime juice..

Shark's Fin Soup - There will not be Shark's Fin Soup at my wedding or any other event that I may ever organise.. When the buying stops, the killing can too. But since they order, I give face and eat lah. :(

Scallop Braised with Vegetables - The veggies were abit tasteless but I liked the scallop.

Phoenix Chicken - Chicken skin with fish paste, for the clueless ones. :P Not bad, but the sauce for it only came after everyone finished with the dish.

Steamed Pomfret - Quite good. Fishy though, as all pomfrets go.

Prawns and beancurd skin in some weird yellow sauce - Never encountered this dish before, so I have absolutely no idea what it is called. Someone said that the yellow sauce is egg yolk or something, but it had this gritty texture that I didn't like.

Kuay Teow - Or something. I don't like kuay teow. ;)

Yam Paste - Aka or ni.. Served with dessert tea. I'm not a fan of yam in the first place, but I suppose it wasn't too bad. :P
