This year the ‘Tung’ (Winter Solstice) Festival falls on 21 December 2008.
A few days ago I made a booking at this restaurant for a table for 8 at 7p.m. I was told by the captain answering the call to arrive before 7p.m. The majority of the people would be arriving at that time and therefore we may have to wait for a long time for our food to arrive.
We left home at 6.30p.m. and when we arrived at the restaurant, the parking lot was already full.
The menu was as follows.
Stir Fried Sliced Fish with Ginger, Shallots and Onions
Half a kg of Wet Butter Prawns
Half a kg of ‘Kung
Stir Fried Deer Meat with Ginger, Shallots and Onions
Stir Fried ‘Kangkung’ (Water Spinach) with Chilli and ‘Belacan’ (Shrimp Paste)
The fish did not smell at all. Chloe can only eat mainly this dish because she has been having stomach ache the whole day. The rest of the dishes were too oily for her.
There was a lot of gravy for the prawns. The taste of the gravy is improving and tasted absolutely yummy. I had the most of this dish and finished the last few left as well.
The cook did a good job for the gravy for the elephant trunk clam and the clams did not come out tough at all. Mum could even savour them.
We specifically told my friend Peter Koh, one of the captains who took our order to put lots of gravy in the deer meat so that the children can have the gravy accompanying their rice. I only managed to eat one piece of the meat. It was soft but mum said she took one piece which was rather hard for her to swallow.
The veges were not tough and spicy. This was the only dish with a bit of leftover.
