stare me down - Thai BBQ crab on a charcoal grill

I oft wonder if life is driven past times an invisible hand...and how sometimes events seems to collide. The argue why I was pondering on this was precisely before I went to this restaurant, I got an e-mail from Denis -a weblog reader from Commonwealth of Australia who was bespeak me nearly Teochew Restaurant inward Pudu. A faithful client of the old schoolhouse place, he was wondering what happened to it. Sadly, I had to interruption the tidings to him that they shut for trouble organisation after Chinese New Year. The i brilliant spark was the restaurant's onetime chefs are nonetheless inward town in addition to working at diverse restaurants similar Chong Fatt. Sadly at that spot is no Teochew dim core though, which was what Denis wanted every bit he's a dim core addict.

Nevertheless dinner at Chong Fatt was literally a regain for my tum - partaking inward some real odd items similar fish scales(!) in addition to duck brain. This exceptional house that operates inward a spacious grounds alongside ample parking space, is famous for their fresh seafood that is plucked from a row of aquariums. Right side past times side to the Chinese restaurant, at that spot is a to a greater extent than casual dining spot also owned past times them, where Thai BBQ dishes in addition to steamboat are available till 2am. The Thai BBQ department has a Thai chef presiding over it, which reminds me a lilliputian of Nong & Jimmy minus the yau char kwai alongside brilliant light-green kaya. Here you lot tin selection in addition to conduct your seafood - crabs, prawns, squid, clams, chicken, lamb in addition to etc, to hold upwards grilled on the hot coals.

So amount of flavor from existence double boiled for 6 hours, I was piece of cake sipping this downwardly in addition to relishing every spoonful that I could run into I was the finally i to finish.

Filled alongside the warmth from my soup, I tackled the side past times side dish - braised till tender goose spider web alongside an abalone (RM20 per serving) nestled on pinnacle of it. A lilliputian fight of squid glue held the tender abalone inward place. I loved the sauce that had absorbed all the yummy flavours in addition to wished I had breadstuff to mop upwards the lovely sauce. Next it was the fish scales looking to a greater extent than similar deep fried crackers tossed inward a tabular array salt in addition to pepper mixture alongside chillies in addition to confine onions. It took us a field to approximate but it turned out to hold upwards the large scales of a river fish - ikan kelah (RM12.80 per 100g) that I had before snapped a film of it. Subsequently, the steamed fish came lightly anointed alongside soy sauce - precisely sublime materials steamed to perfection every bit the fish flesh was tender alongside precisely a lilliputian Omega ix oil.

The nutrient kept rolling in....including a large platter of Sichuan tea smoked duck (RM35 for half, RM65 for whole) that had been boiled inward a herbal broth to infuse it alongside flavour, smoked alongside a mixture of tea leaves, rice in addition to sugar, in addition to later on deep fried to give it a crispy skin. Even though I was getting quite amount past times then, I couldn't resist taking a few pieces of the duck every bit it was succulent in addition to infused alongside the lovely tea flavour. I was in addition to hence persuaded to endeavor the duck encephalon - seems it is the prized part. That definitely perked my involvement in addition to I gave it a nibble. Hmmm, kinda tastes similar goose liver - tender in addition to soft. There's non much to larn around though, every bit it's precisely a small-scale piece (literally the plane brain!). I nibble the other parts of the caput in addition to it's packed alongside flavour. The side past times side affair I know, I'm a convert in addition to I tin confirm that the duck caput is definitely the best part!!

Thai BBQ prawns from the platter

We also got to sample the Thai chef's specialties, every bit nosotros were served a Thai BBQ platter (RM50) - grilled lamb, chicken, prawns in addition to squid, which was accompanied alongside 4 types of chilli sauce. Everything tasted skilful but my favourite was the lamb - tender in addition to flavourful fifty-fifty without a dip of my favourite light-green chilli in addition to lime sauce.

Next it was a spicy in addition to slightly sugariness dearest sauce prawns alongside yellowish ginger sauce (RM18 for 100g). The spicy creamy sauce would convey gone good alongside a bowl of hot rice. Only i dish failed to print - the kaw yoke or pork belly slices alongside peanuts every bit it lacked whatever flavour. Last but non least, it was an odd vegetable dish - a combo of pumpkin slices, edible bean sprouts, thinly sliced bitter gourd in addition to salted vegetable (RM15); all fried alongside spicy ruby-red bird-eye chillies in addition to chillies. Slightly crunchy in addition to soft from the pumpkin slices, it was a refreshing dish alongside a lilliputian spicy boot from the chillies.
