Came by for a late dinner at Tian Tian Seafood. Pretty grateful that there are places like this in the vicinity that take their business well past 10pm in times like this. So - we ordered their luncheon meat fried rice to see if they were as good compared to the neighbouring Lao You Ji. Can't decide which one I liked better. Both were nice. Properly fried without residual grease.
Couldn't resist getting their delicious sambal petai since we didn't get them the last time.
That's above is a dish of kang kong stir fried with sliced beef in prawn paste. Pretty good. The prawn paste sauce from the dish would have been awesome with white rice. While the meat didn't taste particularly beefy, it wasn't one of those that had been mutated into some unidentifiable meat substance by tenderizer. Gotta remember to tell them to exclude those ginger shreds the next time.
I guess not all things were so tasty. Like this dish which was described as braised fish brisket and eggplant. It's fish belly I think - cuts of it with many dangerous bits of bone that made it a chore to eat. I had thought that these would be without any bone. The braising did nada in imparting flavour of that braising liquid to the fried fish; which by itself had a muddy flavour. Eggplant was sweet though. Will not get this again.
