Ah Yat Abalone

Ok, the pastries and bird's nest with mango sago (below) at Ah Yat were not bad, but get real. Who goes to a Chinese abalone restaurant for desserts?


So I'm gonna make an exception on this blog and include some savoury stuff for once.
Well, it was my birthday dinner after all. So, indulge me la.
Anyway, I'll just let the pictures do most of the talking.
For $78++ per person, we had:


Super yummy soupy xiao long bao (Chinese dumplings).


Double-boiled shark's fin with chicken and Matsutake mushroom. No tiny shreds of crab meat disguised as shark's fin, but chunks of the real thing!


Stewed South African abalone with Japanese sea cucumber and mushroom.
Cooked to perfection, the sea cucumber literally melts in your mouth, and the abalone was tender and fragrant.


Deep-fried smoked duck with red wine.


Pan-fried cod fish in XO sauce. Love the fried garlic and shrimp that were added as toppings.


Stir-fried shrimp paste with broccoli.


Baked pork rib with honey sauce.
The meat was extremely tender, yet not too fatty. The sauce was a tad salty though.


No birthday meal is complete without noodles, so we had Japanese vermicelli soup. In all, it was a super satisfying birthday meal.

Sweeet factor: 5/5
