On Thursday night, we had dinner at Ah Orh Seafood Restuarant @ Jalan Bukit Merah. I remember Channel 8 or Channel U ever did a spcial on this Restuarant some time back. I also vaguely remember it gave them rave reviews. With this in mind, we were full of anticipation as we made our way there.Orders were quickly placed and i dare say equally quickly served. The food were served in such speed that puts MacDonald's and KFC in shame.
Steamed Tofu with minced meat topping.
Often we heard chefs on TV says, "the most difficult dish to cook is always the simplest fare". How true this statement holds. The tofu was silky smooth, the minced meat topping very bursting with flavours and the broth was ichiban! I poured it over my bowl of rice and ensured every single grain of it was coated with the delicious broth. Things are starting to look good....Stir Fried Vegetables with Assorted Seafood
Honestly i have no idea what particular type of veg was used but this was yet another simple homecooked fare cooked to perfection. The veg were crunchy and the seafood were fresh. They were very generous with the ingredients used. I ain't complaining.Singapore's Chilli Crabs
When this dish was served, the overwhelming smell of ginger filled the air. First taste, there was indeed a ginger overdose, well at least for me. This was nowhere near any Chilli Crabs we've had. I think mum would do a better job with it. The crabs were however very fresh and meaty.Fried Man Tous for the Chilli Crabs
Self-explainatory. Anything deep fried will taste much better. Look how shiny they looked!Shrimp-Paste Chicken
This was disappointing. The meat was dry and lacks the shrimp paste flavours. We also had the Fried Yam Ring and the Gor Hiong but we were busy eating the dishes they served at lightning spped that we forgotten to take a photo of it. The Yam Ring itself was very delicious. The natural sweetness of the yam was absolutely mind blowing. I think the only place that serves a equal or even better Yam Ring will be the now defunct Teck Lim Restuarant at Zion Road. Damn i miss their Sea-Cucumber Duck soup.Service wise , we were pleasantly please with the speed the food served. However perhaps because of the high expectations, we were kind of disappointed with the quality of the food served here. I MISS TECK LIM Restaurant!~!~!~!~!~!!~
Ahh, another favorite haunt of my family's when we visit Singapore. We usually order scallops or big prawns with some veggies (in Cantonese is called Poh Choi. You usually get it when you eat steamboat. It wilts really quickly...not sure what it's called in English.
ReplyDeleteI remember their Oh Ni (warm yam dessert). I didn't know how to appreciate it then. Now, I like the fried yam dessert that's coated with icing sugar :P
Ah Orh's food used to be better when they were at the old market. You know, Ah Orh's is known for their Morning Dinner or something like that. Do they still do that?
