Birthday coming!!!

Heard from my mom today that she is rearing crabs for this sat dinner....dun think she is kidding. will find out more details and post it here....

btw...here is last weekend dinner....told a while cos i was busy...once again...forgive the not-so-good pictures


First and foremost, my dad's creative vegetarian shark-fin....which tasty 80% like the real thing with the usual condiments.

Consisted of veg/a gd variety of mushrooms/carrots...

Not as starchy as those shark fins we normally eat and certainly much healthier...

Next we have is the famous teochew fish...aka white rabbit fish or 白肚鱼. This fish is exceptional expensive during the CNY because teochews believe that eating this fish during CNY will bring gd luck for the rest of year.

ANyway, i love this fish cos i am a teochew and a gd reason is that the fish meat is firm and meaty, yum yum...one of this fish, black olive veg, soy sauce and porridage...a satisfying meal for me liao....

Steam Cray Fish

I bet you never knew cray fish can be cook in this way and still taste heavenly....those amazing teochews!!!

Indeed, the natural taste of the cray fish was fully maximised with a chewy bounce in every bite. The vegetables condiments that was together in the steaming process brought out the sweetness of these yummy white meat...

Will endeavour to take better shots next time as i fight off the chopsticks to threatens to clean off the plates.

Steam White Promfet

Remember the whiff of vinegar chilli that just overwhelm every space in your senses when the doors of the Teochew restaurant swings wide open to welcome you into an wonderful culinary experience.

In Singapore, there are not many authentic Teochew restaurants that have captured the hearts and stomachs like the old-school Teochew food conjured from the kitchen of Ban Seng Restaurant (萬成).

For many Teochews and food lovers, Ban Seng Restaurant is a special place where delicious hearty cuisine compounds the happiness and enjoyment of many birthdays, weddings, family dinners and specials occasions.

Cling on to these fond memories as your eyes feast authentic Teochew cuisine (prepared by the ex-chef of Ban Seng Restaurant, aka my 老爸) with the pictures below.

The first dish...Pipping Hot Steam White Promfet

This whopper fish weighs 600g and satisfied 6 of us. Surprisingly, the wonderful liquid that the fish is swimming in right here is the best of all, with the essence from the fish and the mixture of ingredients that goes towards making the liquid a light yet wonderful broth-like soup.

The fish is perfect by itself, having a firm taste without being overcooked.

Apart from the widely known Teochew porridge, there are several unknown yet sumptuous delicacies of Teochew cuisine which I hope to share in details in the near future to anyone who is interested.
