Mom's turning 60 and we did an early celebration for her at Chui Huay Lim Teochew Cuisine.
The place was packed on a Monday.
The birthday celebration started with steamed birthday buns for the birthday girl. The buns were soft but the bean paste filling was too dry.
The Teochew cold crabs were fleshy & sweet and packed with crab roes! :) Who cares about cholestrol? ;)
I'm usually not into deep fried traditional Teochew five spice rolls but these were pretty good. I had two to three I think! :)))
Next dish, pig trotter jelly was a no go for me. But grandmom loves it! :)
I'm not into Teochew fried oyster omelette too. Yahui had lots of it, including my share! :D
Teochew style steamed promfret at it freshest. Loving it! The broth was light but flavourful, further enhancing the sweetness of the fish. :)
The braised conpoy with eight vegetarian treasures were bursting with flavours.
The bean sprouts gave the fried seafood noodle extra crunch. It wasn't too oily. Nice. :)
The Teochew "Puning" fermented bean chicken was well, an acquired taste. The chicken was very tender though. Beneath the chicken were preserved mustard. Uncle Francis seemed to like it alot...
Braised goose is one of the must haves when we have Teochew cuisine. Unfortunately it was badly done at Chui Huay Lim. The meat was extremely tough. *.* A big minus here...We told the manager about it, and she told us it was an old goose...if you know it's an old goose & the meat is going to be tough, why bother serving it in the first place???
We had two types of desserts to sweeten our dinner. First up was yam paste with pumpkin & ginkos. It was smooth & wasn't too sweet. :)
We didn't think the sugar encrusted yam sticks was well done. To do this well, the taro has to be really good.
And here's us with our guests. :)
