I have some friends who are 興化 but til date, I never heard anything special about their traditional food until my GF tells me that there is a shop which is quite famous with their food. We've decided to try and it really gives me a decent surprise.
The outlook of the restaurant is quite normal and not very
classy and it's quite small actually. Even though its small, but the restaurant
is quite clean and I would give quite a high rating for the hygiene.
The first dish
The fried chicken is quite crispy and it has ham in it. To those who love salty food, this will be a good choice but personally think that its a bit too salty and a little overcooked too.
The rating for this chicken will be about 4/10 only.
蚝煎, Oyster omelette
The omelette is SUPERB!!! The Oyster that they use are all quite big in size, on the other hand, they didn't put too much glutinuous flour which makes the omelette sticky like what those hawker did.
The omelette is not too salty and the texture of the egg is really nice. All I can say is the chef do control the "fire" well and making sure that the egg is just well done and not overcooked.
I will give it a 8 over 10 for it's rating. (MUST TRY!!!)
蚝面线 Oyster Mee Sua
This Oyster Mee Sua is fantastic! It's a must try too, and U will regret for not ordering it. LOL.
If U come to visit this shop withouht ordering this Mee Sua, it's like U went to china but didn't visist the Great Wall of China!
This Mee Sua comes with some fried sea weed, peanuts, and lots of oyster with a little soup. Yes, what I meant little is really little.
I'm serious, they don't give U lots of soup but just a little and the taste of the soup is really good! The soup serve best with the mee sua. We did request to have more soup but the shopkeeper insist that we have to follow their way.
The Oysters being use here is fresh and big in size. How big? It is almost the size of my thumb and this size is best serve with their Mee Sua as well as their Omelette.
This Mee Sua had get my 10/10 rating too! (MUST TRY!!!)
Last but not least, the 紫菜羹 @ Seaweed soup is fantastic too!
紫菜羹 @ Seaweed soup
The soup itself contain Seaweed, eggs, Taofu and some crab stick. The soup is quite thick and U may call it sticky but the taste is really good and its even better than those Shark Fin soup! It's really amazing that how can the chef can cook something so well by using so little ingredients.
I will give 10/10 for this soup too! (MUST TRY!!!)
Pricing
The pricing of the shop is consider reasonable among the category of restaurant as most of the dishes above cost below RM20 per dish or even lower. and the total damages for this dinner is somewhere around RM70.
Conclusion
This shop is fantastic! As all of my friends know, I have a very choosy taste bud and can really condemn a lot when it comes to food. It's not easy to get a good rating from me and this shop has got 2 dishes that being rate as 10/10, so U can imagine whether how good the taste of the food here is.
On the other hand, this shop is highly recommended for those oyster lovers too!
