We came here before, but this round it was with my brother-in-law's family. Before we came here, we already book in advance the meal. The owner has make the life simple, as they has a menu set for us to choose from. It was 9-meal course that we ordered. So it would be good that could bring 10 adults (I mean those really can fill up their stomach) to enjoy the food here.
1. The signature Beggar's Chicken Firstly we were served with the famous beggar's chicken. It came out hot from the "oven" as shown in the picture above. It was wrapped in foil pouch, outer layer with clay and put into the "oven" until it is cooked. This is done to other's beggar's delight as well. The chicken was stuffed with chinese herbs. It tasted delicious especially the gravy made up of the chicken juices and the chinese herbs.
2. Glutinous Rice or Loh Mai Fan Another dish that we like. It is made up of salted egg yolks, dried shrimps, mushroom and pork. It was one of the best that we have tasted before, tender and soft. However, can't take much of it as we still need to reserve our 'tank' for other dishes.
3. Beggar's Pork Knuckles A bit high cholesterol as more fat than meat. The meat is served together with yam. The meat easily came off from the bone, and the meat was tender. Everyone just enjoy this, and just remind ourselves that it's ok to indulge the food once in a while.
4. Beggar's Duck The last of beggar's delight served on the table, the beggar's duck. The food was prepared the same way like beggar's chicken. The duck was stuffed with chinese herb. Not sure how they prepared the dish, but again the duck's meat was tender and melt-in-your-mouth type. A bit different from the roasted duck easily found in the city. However, the gravy is not as nice as the beggar's chicken.
5. Vegetable After the 'heavy' dishes, we were served with vegetable. Though nothing special for this, but we do appreciate it. At least we were taking some healthy food after all the fat and oily stuff.
6. Pork Stomach Soup with Pepper For this soup, just beware of the spicy taste due to the heavy presence of pepper. Get ready with some tea or water, just in case. My younger cousin brother just couldn't finish his portion. For us, it's ok and we quite like it. However, we couldn't drink too much of it. Depends on individual to judge whether this is delicious or not.
7. Steamed Fish Not sure what fish is being served, but definitely not the highlight for us. Luckily for us, we just equally divided the fish. This to ensure we didn't waste the food.
8. Marmite Prawn The prawn was fried, covered with sticky sweet sauce. Everyone just enjoy this dish. Luckily the dish is not as heavy as the previous one. Again, we just divide the prawn to everyone and quickly the plate became empty. By then, everyone started getting full.
9. Fried Kam Heong Crab Last dish of the day. Not everyone like to get their hand dirty especially eating crab, and I was one of them. However, at the end I guess I consumed the most of it. It was delicious, prepared in kam heong and curry leaves make it tastier. By then, most of us couldn't take anymore.
We were not able to order one of their signature dishes, "stuffed fish" or boneless fish. The fish meat is taken out to make as fish paste. We tried out this during our previous visit, but not this time. It's a bit unfortunate that my grandma couldn't follow us for this makan trip, as she needed to attend a wedding dinner. Might planning to come here again to try out the fish paste and other dishes that we didn't order for today.
