Monday, 14 February 2005 |
We were down in Port Dickson for a camp and one of the nights we decided that we would have dinner in Seremban instead. After all, we had an honest to goodness Seremban born & bred lass in our midst who certainly knows her way around food there.
So Joyce brought us to her family's favourite restaurant in Taman Bidara - Restoran Yin Huat. The criteria given to her was that the food had to be good and that is should not be expensive. Yin Huat certainly is that.
Co-ordinating a few cars to unfamiliar territories (even with a map) is no small feat and this adventure proved not to be the exception either. Some cars ended on a mini tour of Seremban but we all finally arrived there in one piece with our appetites ready to go. Our starter was a plate of fried oysters with egg. While fried oysters usually has starch in it - something that I don't care much for, there was no starch here. Just eggs & oysters - yummy. And the oysters are not the usual small little things that you get at most hawker stalls but you can really bite into the babies here.
The next dishes were a ginger chicken which was OK - perhaps the night's weakest dish, A fried garoupa covered with a sweet sour sauce which Keong devoured. So even the weak dish was not shabby either.
The yam basket which was excellent and filled with lots of chunky bits
of diced chicken & mushrooms. The only thing it lacked was cashew
nuts.
Then came a tofu egg dish that was truly delicious and was very popular
with the children & adults. Initially we thought it was egg because
of the texture. We later found out that it's because it's made from a
mixture of soy milk & egg beaten together before it's steamed. But
the clincher was the meat & fried 'har mai' (dried prawns) sauce on
top of the tofu. Scrumptious!
Finally came the piece de resistance of the night - chilli fried pork
uterus. OK, OK - most people will cringe at the thought - but hey the
texture is just like squid and it tastes better too. Put a group of
Chinese in Fear Factor and they'll eat the house down. And to complete
this dish - there was lard in it as well.
We also had two vegetable dishes to counter all the 'bad stuff' that we had.
While we were feasting on all this Keong still had the capacity to spy
on what dishes other diners were having. A true 'wai sik loh' if I ever
met one.
All in it worked out to about RM12 per person. A truly good deal!
