Tung Lok Seafood Ala Carte Buffet (Part 2)


Next up is Tung Lok Chilli Prawns. The accompanying gravy is akin to the Chilli Crab's sauce, starchy and spicy at the same time. This local flavour is now so famous that every client of our company from abroad is always pestering us to bring them to sample the Singaporean Chilli Crab.


These are the Fried Mantou to dip into the chilli sauce from above. I adore man tous,. eventhough i merely eat them on their own, without any sauce or flavours.


This is Fish Maw Bisque. It really puzzles me because i cannot comprehend where the yellow colour came from. Otherwise, this soup is pretty much soothing and nourishing. It's not cloying, even though it's starchy.


Crispy Prawns with Butter and Cereal : while my friends were busy lapping up the prawns, i was wiping the cereals clean with my spoon.... Ha Ha Ha!


Crisp Fried Shisamo - or in layman terms 'pregnant fish'. Well, there was a fish for each one of us, and we lapped them up. Very crunchy and has a nice texture and flavour to please us. Good choice!


Without doubt, worst dish of the day - Sliced Stewed Beef Brisket with Turnip. Look at the amount of oil floating on top of the bowl! It's outrageous!! It's clogging up our arteries. The one dish that we failed to touch and finish.


Some desserts to settle our belly into resting mode. Herbal Jelly served with Honey ( Mr Pang had 5 bowls of those, the crazy fella!) and Chilled Almond Beancurd with Longan. Both desserts were not too saccharine sweet and deserved two thumbs-up.


Closer to the camera is the Glutinous Dumpling with Sesame Filling while the further plate are Ice Cream Puffs. The Ice Creams Puffs were contagious, with an additive bite that keeps you asking for more, despite the full stomach. Wow, haven't enjoyed such a good meal for months!
