Tung Lok group owns quite a number of restaurant, and the one that we went this time is specialized in Seafood! We started of having the Oyster ($3.80/piece) as starter. We choose to have it crisp-fried with salted pepper. Delicious! You get this crispy layer on the outside, but once you bite in, the inner bit is the fat and fresh oyster that is so juicy. One can also have their oysters raw, or steamed with garlic, or even oven-baked with cheese. Your choice! Steamed Razon clam ($10/pcs) is anot
Steamed Razon clam ($10/pcs) is another must-have I reckon. We had it steamed with spicy XO sauce and vermicelli. The clam is fresh and huge, good chewy texture. The sauce is fantastic and fully abosorbed by the vermicelli, which made it very flavourful. Thumbs up. You can also choose to steam the clam with garlic only if you can't take spicy food.
Fish maw bisque ($8) is so rich in flavour, and the broth has this collegen kind of stickiness. The generous amount of fish maw in the soup gives a good bite texture. Love the sweetness of it.
We then have the Deep-fried prawns with wasabi-mayo sauce! The big peeled prawns are so crunchy and springy. They are slightly deep-fried before coated with the tangy wasabi-mayo sauce. Very delicious and of good balanced flavour, neither too 'spicy' nor salty. This signature dish goes well with rice or simply delicious to be consumed as snacks.
Mee goreng ($18) is slightly greasy for me, the portion is huge and it's kind of spicy. Nothing too special in terms of taste though.
Dessert wise, we had the Yam paste with gingko nuts served in young coconut. Well, the restaurant ran out of coconut that day, and hence our yam paste is just served in the bowl. For that reason, we are charged $5 only instead of the usual $8. Love the smooth texture of the yam paste, it also has strong yam fragrant, pleasantly good!
