Ong's Family's Reunion Dinner @ Beng Thin Hoon Kee (TPY)
Bro suggested Hokkien cuisine (since we r hokkiens) for our reunion dinner..this yr is rather special, as instead of gg to my 三姑's place (she is away in europe this yr), we had to do with outside food and w a smaller percentage of the family present. Only my paternal gdparents, my bro n sis-in-law, my parents, 1 of my cousin, and me~
Bro was the one who ordered, which explains why our dishes were all meat~ but all these r the restaurant's must-try dishes..so no complains~
CNY reunion dinner must-have : Yu-Sheng~ fresh and juicy are what I can think of to describe this..
duck salad...like the sauce..tangy sweet but not too sweet..quite a sin-less dish hah~ since it consists of duck meat, raw cucumber strips and raw mango strips..
ngog-hiang..mixture of 2 types..dunno what n what..haha cox actually this dish came by mistake, and we asked the waitress to just leave it on the table..
crispy roast chicken..this is quite a standard dish..thou i fancy chicken but to me, this is something i get to eat at wedding dinners so nothing special to me..
this is their signature dish - cripsy oyster omelette...the egg is fried till crispy..n i mean REALLY CRISPY~ dun even need to bite, just use chopsticks to twist the egg n u can hear the crisp of it...love this~ (p/s: i nv try the oysters so no comments)
hokkien mee..didn't eat this also cox i dun really fancy carbo, hokkien mee most of all..so yah, no comments too...but all round the table, i see my family nodding their head as they eat this, so i guess this shld taste quite nice..
the only non-meat dish...tofu with mushrooms...only bad thing abt this is that the mushrooms r cut into too small pieces..so much so tt i cant really get a kick out of eating them...fyi i love mushrooms..all types...so when i cant get my craving settled, tt dish is nt considered as a must-have~
last dish of the day~ kong ba w buns...again, I din touch this dish at all also...1. i dun like meaty pork, 2. i dun like carbo...but this dish was cleared in 5min time and even my health-conscious gdma who keeps shaking her head when it was initially offered to her, couldn't resist the smell and had a serving of it..so if u ask me..try it bah~
This meal costs us $337.60 (shared betwn my bro and me), which I find reasonable, given that we had 9 dishes in all (fish maw soup also), the servings were enormous (we couldnt finish and had to pack home), the taste good, the atmosphere very amiable, & most importantly, my family enjoyed the dinner very much.
