- The Food
Salted Egg Yam Chips @ $9.80
The crispy yam was nicely contrasted with the rich salted egg yolk sauce. With a tad of chilli padi and curry leaves, this appetizer was savory and addictive.Salted Egg Crab @ $23.90 (S), $33.90 (M), $48 (per 1kg)
(Irvin's specialty with Chef's Yap special recipe)
The stir fried crab in generous creamy salted egg concoction is a nightmare for any dietician. The irresistible sauce will make you forget about the high cholesterol! Be warn that the creamy fragrance will linger on your taste buds for a long time that other dishes may taste like salted egg yolk too! It will be prefect if they had use Sri Lanak crab, its tender and succulent meat will definitely be a heavenly match with the sauce.If you loves the salted egg sauce (who don't?), it can be purchase at $12 per box that is freshly made upon ordering.
Red Tilapia with Special Sauce @ $32
The reddish sauce is made of bean paste with chilli. Don't be fret by the colour, it is not spicy as it look. Taste like the sweet thai chili, the sauce was flavorful and aromatic. Unfortunately this delicacy of Chef Yap's creation is not on the menu, BUT it can be cooked upon customer request.Claypot Pumpkin Prawns @ $13.80 (S), $22.80 (L)
The pumpkin sauce taste almost like salted egg! No joke! The sauce was thick, creamy and rich, can't really taste the pumpkin thou. I think the prawn was overcooked as it was a little tough. If you don't want to dirty your hands, deshell prawns are available at $18.80 (s) $28.80(L) (different prawns are used for deshell).Damn Good Pork @ $12.80 (S) $18.80 (L)
Its creamy and buttery sauce was so sinful and mouth-watering! The tender and juicy pork ribs with the aroma of the curry leaves make the dish fragrant and savouring. We heard this was Irvin (the boss) favourite dish!Hot Plate Tofu with Special Minced Pork @ $12.80
Blocks of tofu stir-fried in a sweet and spicy thick sauce studded with minced pork was decent. Non-spicy hot plate tufu with chicken is available upon request.
Salted French Beans
Initially we felt the veggie was a little bland but we begin to appreciate it after all the rich and creamy sauce dishes. Maybe more chili padi & dried scrimp will make it a little savor.
- My Opinion
I am freak out by the number of cholesterol I have intake with all their specialty of salted egg sauce and butter cream dishes! But I must admit it was an enjoyable dinner.
