Post No. 96

Have not done a food review post in a while. 

So second day into the new year me family was wondering around ou looking for a nice place for lunch. went past Chao Yen for a couple times now. My dad is Teo Chew so he knows teochew food more than we do.  and we finally decided to give this place a try. 

The restaurant is located in New Wing OU. Next to Otak-Otak. 

Sauteed Xiao Bai Chai with Mushroom Slices. Very regular. Nothing to shout about. 

 Stir fried fish slices with shallots and ginger shreds. One of the commendable dish of the day. Hearty serving of fish slices. but is quite pricey for the portion.

 deep fried Oysters. I did have some kind of expectation. its deep fried. and its oyster. It has to be good. but this one here turned out tasteless. thumbs down.

 Preserves duck slices with freshly crushed peppercorns. This dish is the biggest rip off of them all. I think it cost bout RM27. but there are only 10 slices of them. I don't mind the price if the dish is good. but it isn't. The meat is a bit tough and rubbery. I kinda expected it to be salty since it is preserved. But it turned out tasteless. and with the amount of crushed peppercorns on each slice of the meat, the peppery taste becomes too overpowering. major disappointment.

 A closer look on overpriced preserved duck slices.

Braised salted preserved vegetables with pork belly. I had better versions of this dish at roadside stalls. 

Red rice. RM3.50 per bowl. Small portion. Rip off I tell you!



Overall. Definitely not worth a second visit. The prices for everything is a bit too much I must say for such ridiculously small portion. The food isn't great, I don't feel any sort of satisfaction. Service is horrible. *facepalm* I wonder how they survived that long.
