alrite enough abt me ranting abt the place cos I dun think anyone is interested anw….so I’ll start wif the food!
First dish we ate is 醉虾!! The prawns are alive when delivered to the table! Not the alive type when u see the prawns’ little legs wriggling…but the type where they are really JUMPING off from the bowl of wine! Then they are poured into the piping hot herbal soup to be cooked…I know this sound cruel…u can report me to SPCA if u wan…but this is really how u get fresh prawns man! The prawns got 咬劲! Each bite is so succulent and crunchy! =D u can tell if the prawn is fresh or not by 2 ways! First is whether the prawn head is attached to the bowl after cooked…Second is if whether the prawn head got some foul taste! Well the head’s attached and tastes great! So tt shows how great the prawn is! The herbal soup is another highlight! For those who dun like herbal…no worries man…cos the smell is very light and the soup is really really refreshing! 16 prawns for 4 ppl @ $26, I give it 4!
Next up is 大头!(pronounce it hokkien pls) I won’t comment to much on it…I think its ok only…the flavouring is ok…not really fantastic…and the clam meat is a bit soft and watery…but my mum likes it! She say got the “burst in mouth” feeling due to its watery-ness…well 各有所见….@ $8…I give it 3..sorry mum!
蟹黄炒饭…this fried rice is better than ave…partly due to the ingredients I would say….fish roe is mixed wif the rice to add to the colouring and design of the dish…they are quite generous wif the crab meat and prawn bits and they are really visible in the dish…not some tiny puny ingredients u’ll see elsewhere…generally a good mixed but I won’t spend so much for fried rice when I’m hungry haha….@ $8 my dad it isn’t real ex…I give it 3.5
I dunno how many ppl ate this b4…this is 金隆鸡! Let me explained how its made first! First the chicken skin is removed from the chicken…then the meat is removed and mashed into a paste…of cos flavouring is added during tt time but I dunno wat they are..haha…the paste is then spread across a layer of chicken skin and covered by the other on top (like a burger)…and finally it is deep fried to give it the crisp and golden colour! A sauce is added to the bottom of the chicken and our 金隆鸡 is done! This time round…this dish tastes a bit different…personally…I feel that the paste is too “paste” I mean I can’t find any meaty portion to bite! Well the method describe above is the normal recipe…but this place normally give its customers an extra bite into the dish but serving up the dish with chunky portions of the meat visible! I really like chewing the chunky bits and the crispy skin! So when they served up the norm paste-like dish…I’m really disappointed! Overall the dish is still good! price @ $22, I know it a little on the steep side! But u have to give credit to the chefs for the effort! I give it 4! If they served me the chunky-type金隆鸡 today I would have given it 4.5! ALAS!!
And now for the last two dishes! And the highlight of the dinner!! 奶黄椰奶螃蟹 and the black pepper crab! The crabs served today are really great! They are fat and succulent! OMG! The meat doesn’t stick to the shell and the chefs break the shell and crucial points which makes it easy to remove and take out chunk and chunk of crab meat and deliver it straight to your mouth! Let’s touch on the 奶黄椰奶螃蟹…the sauce is really unique! Its very fragrant! I attribute it to the coconut milk! The sauce is sweet and milky =D and goes well with the fried 馒头! U no longer have to restrict urself to chili crab juz to enjoy dipping fried 馒头! Haha…as for the black pepper crab…this is my fist time ordering it and let me warn u! it is really spicy! OMG….i had eaten many black pepper and chili crabs b4…and this one is really 辣!!! Even my mum feels the same too! To think tt a lot of spicy stuff are nth to her man…but its really shiok! Each bite juz wan me to have more! Haha..i have always tot joo chiat offers one of the best black pepper crabs! This place is one of them man! Both sauce, black pepper and 奶黄椰奶 are good! by the time the crabs are gone and fingers lingering wif the sauce, u’re really tempted to lick ur fingers to savour the last bit of the crabs!! Each crab is priced @ $33…I give each dish 4.5!! =D
Some of the prices may look steep and hefty…but for the quality of the food…I wld say it is really cheap! If u’re planning to come…pls come early… during weekends! I reached there at arnd 5.15pm and several tables were already taken…by 6.45pm when I left…all the tables are full and at least another 7-8 tables waiting!
