Special thanks to Alvin for the invite!
Teochew cuisine is easy to like, though being Cantonese it overthrows all the strong flavours and rich food we are so used to. There are a number of teochew porridge stalls that have stuck with me through the years - one near Dunman Food Center.
The coffeeshop with just one food stall.
You either go teochew porridge or cai png.
Varieties.
Accolades from various media.
Online and offline accreditations.
They had a range of bottled herbal concoctions, they were a tad watered down though.
Orange Oil and sesame seeds?
Great fun watching the oil roll over the seeds rather than soaking up.
The other sauces to go, special mention goes to the power of a chilli paste.
3 signature dishes (Pig Trotter Aspic, Shark Meat Aspic, Braised Duck)
Shark Meat Aspic
These thickly cut shark meat slices were dense and fresh. The other attempt at it was at Chinatown's. Keeping it iced also retained its firm bite. Two thumbs up! Liked the dipping sauce of plum sauce and sesame seeds.
Pig Trotter Aspic
Hardly stalls get this so right - the right proportion of jelly and meat. Most stalls have too much meat.
Braised Duck and Peanuts
Braised to such tenderness and full flavour, great pairing with porridge!
Chilli clams
On the sweet side and a pity this was not served piping hot.
Stingray
Somewhat fishy and lacking in taste.
Steamed Black Fish
I and steam fish are not completely best of friends nor arch enemies yet on my own will not take the initiative to order it. Temperature was well controlled and fish was really fresh.
The meat was absolutely tender and nary a bite of staleness. Without any marination, this was outstanding.
Handmade Teochew Fishcake
Fishcakes are not quite my thing though meatballs are - I simply love my meat where I can see it, just like arm and foot candies. That being said, the blended fish paste and woven in pork bits were delish, every bite had pork. My kind of fishcake!
Cai Buey
These was sold out and cooked on the same day hence the lack of flavour and somewhat undercooked.
Braised Pig Intestine
Once again, never a fan of innards and I enjoyed my first dish of intestines at Ay Chung's. These are brilliantly made with intestines without a whiff of stench nor taste of gameyness..best part of it, meat is carefully woven into each intestine roll. Intestines are the new foie gras.
Stewed Vegetables
Expectedly soft and mushy.
Having opened barely 3 weeks back, Seah Soon Teck Teochew has shifted so many occasions, the loyal following would have waned out by now. It used to be just doors away from the ever popular Teck Teochew Porridge stall near Dunman Food Center.
