Had wanted to go to Togi for dinner but decided to give this Teochew restaurant a try when we passed by since we noticed that the restaurant is always pretty crowded during dinner time. Honestly, I am not a fan of Teochew food, nor do I know what it is good at so we decided to ask the staff to recommend. We ended up ordering fish maw soup, a plate of prawn balls & a plate of braised duck for the two of us.The prawn balls are such delights. Although they are deep fried, the freshness of the prawn
The prawn balls are such delights. Although they are deep fried, the freshness of the prawns could still be detected clearly. It has been said that they only use fresh salt water prawns for this dish. Lovely. Besides, there are some bits of what I believe to be water chestnut inside which add some bite to the prawn balls, enhancing its taste.
The braised duck is a let down though. The meat is far too rough & bland. It seems like it has not been braised long enough, so is the tau kwa which comes with it. Totally tasteless.
I have never fancied soup thickened with corn starch much but the fish maw soup here is not bad, I have to say. Loaded with a lot of ingredients: shreds of chicken, bits of crab meat, carrot, mushroom, etc and with a dash of vinegar, we finished up 2 bowls each. It gives me a warm & fuzzy feeling. Really enjoyable especially on cold, rainy days.
All in all, there are hits & misses. I guess I would return to try out their speciality which is cold crab the next time I come.
