this creamy stew is awesome.whatever dialect group it's from, i'll have it.of course i'm not a teochew. There were pork ribs, yam and mushroom inside.The thick slices of yam were similarly sized but they were not overcooked till they were mushy.The pork ribs were in bite sized chunks.Juicy and flavoursome, these were not tough rubber slices. Open rice lo! yum.

It was a mother's day celebration with my husband's family, total of 13 pax. We booked the VIP room that came with the Karaoke system. By the time my family arrived at the restaurant, my brother-in-law was already well warmed-up with the singing. I took a look at the song menu but to my disappointment, there was outdated songs available.The dishes were also ordered by my brother-in-law. He was deligently introducing each of the dishes when they were served. The first dish was the famous Teochew braised duck. Although I prefer roast duck, I have to agree that this braised was very good. Soft, tender and tasty. What a shame that I only managed to snapped a photo of this dish, cause it was the first. The subsequence dishes were served one after another and I was unwilling to break my eating momentum to take the photos. One of the dishes was the 'silverfish' omelette, it was crispy on the outside and soft inside. It was a little salty to my taste. We loved it so much that we ordered and one of it.Another dish that was really good was the crayfish tunghoon. It's a must try if you come here.We spent a total of $600plus. There was a 10% discount given for NTUC union card member.

Had been meaning to try out Teochew City for quite a while now so made it a point to head down one weekend evening for dinner. Owned and operated by the Prima group, which also owns the historic Prima Towering Revolving Restaurant, Teochew City is one of the pioneers of Teochew fine dining in Singapore and apparently serves quite good Teochew food, if the hearsays are to be trusted.Located in a corner at the top floor of Centrepoint Shopping Centre, the restaurant cuts a lone figure amidst the retail shops in the mall. A huge signboard makes known the restaurant as soon as the escalator takes you up but human traffic on that level is probably too scarce to make much of a difference. The restaurant's interior is rather spacious and offers a view of live seafood swimming around in huge tanks by the side - very typical Chinese restaurant decor.Crab Meat & Fish Maw Soup - The soup was tasty and not overly starchy with relatively generous amounts of crab meat and fish maw. However, drinking too much still can make you woozy. And $8 gets you a decent sized bowl.Braised Goose - I doubt the ban on fresh goose meat has been lifted so this is probably frozen meat. Not that it mattered though, because it was handled quite well and the only slip was the mild dryness of the meat. Portions were also generous for a small serving.Hong Kong Kailan with Mushrooms - The vegetables weren't overcooked while the sauce didn't come across as too starchy. Mushroom servings were generous and though not the most exciting vegetable dish I've had, no complains really.Lobster and Prawn Balls - This dish featured prawn paste and fresh prawn molded into balls and deep fried till crisp. Nice but a tad too oily for my liking. The pièce de résistance however, was the egg white with lobster meat served alongside. Savoury without any hint of rawness and a nice smooth texture, complemented by the shreds of lobster meat within. Could have done with a pinch less salt though.Yam Paste with Gingko Nuts and Pumpkin - The hallmark of Teochew desserts and its most famous one yet - the humble yet time consuming to produce yam paste. Fragrant with a spoonful of not too sweet syrup atop, the paste was smooth and thick. And I like my yam paste without coconut milk.

The last time I was at this Teochew restaurant was ages ago. I could hardly remember this eatery & non of the people I knew mention about Teochew City. I was shopping at Centrepoint & spotted the old dame couple of weeks back. I thought perhaps I should revisit this eatery. My friend & I I opted for their $68 set lunch, which consisted of:Except for the Cold Crab & the dessert, the rest of the dishes didn't turned out the way I'd envisaged & they were a dissapointment. Dishes were served lukewarm & bland. Maybe it's the reason why this old dame is a forgotten one.
