It has been a very long time since I had Teochew food hence decided to arrange a dinner gathering with other friends who are keen on Teochew food.
We visited the Ah Hoi Restaurant which is in the Chinatown area. Forgot the actual name of the street :(
It is an old school restaurant which has been around for at least 30 years. It has a retro feel with the restaurant layout and even the dishes they use.
We ordered a selection of dishes to share:
 |
| Cold Pig Shank with jelly fish at the bottom. The top layer had a nice chewy texture and the meat was tender. Jelly fish was also very nice. |
 |
| Assorted fried items which consists of spring roll, prawn roll and another meat roll which not sure what it was. The outstanding item is the prawn ball which was made themselves. |
 |
| Oyster Porridge. I did not try it but my friends said it was delicious. |
 |
| Braised Goose meat. It was normal nothing really outstanding. |
 |
| Steamed Pomfret Teochew style. It is steamed with black mushroom, tomato, preserved plum. This was quite delicious as the fish meat was delicious. |
 |
| Fish maw and crab meat soup. Serve 4 persons. This was yummy with a lot of fish maw and crab meat in it. |
 |
Last but not least was the star of the night which is the yam paste with ginko nuts. The version made here is very traditional and you have to mix it well before enjoying it. This is rich but smooth on palate. Recommend to order half way through dinner as have to wait a while since they only prepare upon order.
The dishes in general were all very good and it is an interesting place if you want traditional Teochew food in a retro setting.
