Tokyo (東京烧), Ayer Rajah Food Centre

Tokyo (東京烧), Ayer Rajah Food Centre

I've heard mentions of Tokyo (Stall #58 Ayer Rajah Food Centre, 503 West Coast Drive) for a while and we've finally made our way down. They're one of a few, I think, Chinese bbq seafood stalls at Ayer Rajah Food Centre. Speaking of barbeque, the ventilation system of this food centre could really do with upgrades.

Tokyo (東京烧), sambal stingray

From impressions, their barbequed sambal stingray are a thing to get here. Flavours pretty good but the texture isn't as defined and moist as I had imagined. For fresh barbequed stingray that is. Some parts were a little stiff and others just a little bit mushy. Probably frozen meat. Portions weren't big for $20.

Tokyo (東京烧), gong gong

Gong gongs (strombus turturella) were nice. Love the chewiness on the meat. They also had this deep seafood flavour that one can get from mock abalones. The accompanying creamy limey sambal was outstanding.

Tokyo (東京烧), bbq squid

Nicely done barbecued squids which weren't overly chewy.

These guys also stir fried a mean plate of nai bai and mushrooms. Faint bits of scorching, great garlic flavour and a telling crunch to the vegetables.
