This seafood restaurant definitely has quite good word-of-mouth which this is proved base on it is always crowded during lunch and dinner hours. I love to eat dishes which are not troublesome (with no shelfs and bones), so their large scallop with China cai xin definitely is quite ideal for more. The scallop isv very fresh and juicy.

i went to ah yat seafood restaurant for dim sum yet again. On weekdays, the discount for dim sum is fifty percent, a whole ten percent more than weekends. Their dim sum quality is really good. I have to say that their baked mini egg tarts is really good. a portion comes with three egg tarts. The egg tarts are really small, bite size. The custard is not too sweet as well. I am a little disappointed with their xiao long bao, the skin of the xiao long bao is pretty thick and their xiao long bao is

We decided to drop by Turf City one Sunday evening and have dinner at one of the seafood restaurants. How we ended up at Ah Yat, I have no idea, especially when my last dinner at the Jalan Ahmad Ibrahim outlet turned out to be a disaster. To be fair, that was quite a few years ago so things might have improved?

The interior of the restaurant was a stark contrast to its surroundings. Soothing but a little gaudy versus partially smashed bare concrete, displaced steel wires/nails and loud drilling noises. Yes, the entire Turf City is under renovation and only a handful of units remain open ( I counted 3 - Owen Seafood, Ah Yat & Giant).

Shark's Fin Soup - Decently sized with slivers of shark's fin and crab meat, the broth was a little too starchy and salty for my liking. Thankfully the serving of fried, albeit overly oily bean sprouts helped to alleviate this dish by introducing water content as well as a wonderful crunch to it. It's interesting how sometimes the humblest of produce can help turn a dish around.

Oyster with Garlic - For our set, we had a choice of Bamboo Clam or Oyster and I chose the latter. And honestly, I couldn't quite make out any taste other than garlic because it was just so overwhelming.

Braised Abalone with Sea Cucumber - I am usually not a big fan of abalone and Ah Yat's well known dish just wasn't about to convert me. The abalone was of decent size (6 head) and a little chewy, though I did find it a little on the salty side. The accompanying sea cucumber and mushroom were decent but failed to leave much of an impression.

Peking Duck - The peking duck was an additional order we craved meat. And it didn't turn out to be a very wise decision. Though the skin was crisp, both the meat and crepe were too dry. Felt very much like eating roast duck - nothing special.

Fried Rice - Although the lack of ingredients was apparent (there was only egg yolk and dried scallop slivers), this dish had a nice wok hei to it and each individual grain was evenly coated and didn't come across as too oily. Be warned that the dried scallops should be eaten together with the rice as the salt content is rather high and might prove unbearable if eaten alone.

Overall the meal wasn't fantastic and even the more expensive ingredients didn't quite justify the price, at about $210 for 3 pax. Service was decent but I highly doubt I will ever return.

Knowing that Ah Yat has an offer for dim sums, we made our way there for dim sum. We ordered a mixture of dim sum and main dishes since the main dishes also looks quite good. The jellyfish is highly recommended by the staff so we ordered that. It is as she has claimed, very appetising and the jellyfish is quite qq and crunchy. All of us loved it. The dim sum dishes are all at 40% off but in our opinion the dim sum is just average and the quality matters more instead of the price. The best dim su

The best dim sum dish would have to be the har gow for the fresh tasting prawns. The rest are just normal and not worth trying. Service here however is not too good as it is quite hard to get the attention of the wait staff, so that is something that the restaurant should improve on.

Was doing some grocery shopping at this gigantic ghost town and this place seems to be the only decent place to serve Chinese food. We had some tea to start off and I must say that their chrysanthemum tea is really fragrant. We had a couple of dishes but the only good one was the har gao. The prawns taste fresh and crisp and the skin was well made.

I was here on a Sunday afternoon and the reception area was filled with people waiting for seats. I made a reservation in the morning but the person claimed that I did not, because it was not in the book. Realizing that she might have forgotten to write it down, she told us to wait a while and gave us a table shortly after. The dim sum here is sweet, good and fresh, with lots of prawns.

The dim sum here is sweet, good and fresh, with lots of prawns. The pricing is affordable too. Some of my favorites are the chives crystal dumplings and the prawn dumpling with scallop. They are very sweet and juicy and the skin is thin and chewy. The presentation is not very attractive, but the food definitely is.

Went there one early afternoon for some dim sum breakfast. The restaurant is quiet, apart from dishes clashing onto each other. The head waitress was extremely apathetic and expressionless. When asked for dishes to recommend, she mentioned "it depends on what you want". True, but she should have carried on explaining what kind of dishes are suitable for bla bla bla. The female captain was much better with smiles and alertness.Food was a little disappointing. The Char Siew Su reeked of pork smell

Food was a little disappointing.
The Char Siew Su reeked of pork smell, we forced ourselves to chew it down while trying our best not to inhale through our nose.
The yam fritter and egg tart were much better but again, nothing I have never tasted before.

I went to Turf City by taking a free shuttle service from clementi bus interchange. When we reached the place, we were greeted by large numbers of fish tanks.

The staff suggested us to order oven-baked cheese oysters as it is their best seller. The food arrived shortly and guess what... it was indeed worth the time to travel all the way to Turf City. The cheese was thickly spread on the oyster and the cheese layer was slightly burnt to give off a unique taste. The oyster meat is also fresh unlike others which you can easily find sand in it. Thumbs up for their chef!
