daughter has become the family’s resident food convenor, sourcing out nice, happening makan & coffee places.
this evening she again organised an excellent seafood dinner at kamjiazhuang 甘家庄, located at blk 202 AMK ave3. it is located at a coffeeshop. we had a reservation. the place was quite crowded.
we ordered a fish maw soup small. the colour did not look great, but the soup was in fact very tasty.^^
we asked for popular & recommended dishes. 东坡肉 braised pork belly was one, and it was done pretty well, very good standards – very tender, moist and w/o the oily taste (肥而不腻).
the pumpkin prawns was good, a slight variation/departure from the usual wasabi prawns. they were same deep-fried but coated with the pumpkin sauce (felt like it had salted egg in it but could not be certain).
the conpoy tofu was good too, very tasty, certainly better than the minced pork tofu we had recently at kok sen on 21.12.2014. & the S$60 crab beehoon – just look at the above photos c/w those at seng kee recently.
the crab was huge 1.1-12kg, bigger than the one at seng kee (S$70). the crab was also sweeter & firmer than seng kee’s. however, somehow i was still not fully satisfied with the beehoon. yes, this was much better than seng kee and about same as ming kee live seafood. in my memory though (& maybe that was just a memory!) house of steamed fish was much better, tastier, but really cannot tell now.
daughter wanted to try their butter squid with pork floss. batter was good & squid was not tough. at first bite it was quite crunchy & tasty but i agreed with my wife that the taste was too sweet, perhaps it was the pork floss, couldn’t really tell.
overall, we paid S$124 for 6 dishes including a S$60 crab beehoon with a very good & large crab. for me, that was a very good dinner.
