Lai Wah Restaurant

It has more than a year since I patronized this restaurant called Lai Wah Restaurant. This restaurant has a long history and has been around since 1963.  This is also the first restaurant to serve the Chinese New Year Yu Sheng.

Here's what we have ordered: 

- Pi Pa Duck

The Pi Pa Duck is crispy on the outside and the meat is tender on the inside. However, I find that that sauce was kindof too sweet and does not go well with the duck maybe because the duck itself has a strong flavour.  

- Mandarin Stewed Chicken

This dish is my all time favourite, the chicken is very delicious, it is stewed till it's nice and soft and it has absorbed the goodness of the sauce in which you can also find tau kee and black fungus in it. I would highly recommend that you try this dish or you will regret.

- Crispy Squids with Salted Egg Yolk 

The Crispy Squid is indeed crispy, the crust is coated with salted egg yolk that makes the dish very fragrant.

- Beancurd with Fish Maw, Sea Cucumber and Vegetables

The Beancurd is also very tasty, it is s silky and smooth, accompanied with fish maw, sea cucumber and vegetables. The fish maw and sea cucumber is nice and soft and more importantly, it goes well with the braised sauce that makes the dish very tasty. 

- Stir Fry Sambal Long Beans

I find that Sambal Long Beans is pretty normal but I must say that their sambal chilli is very fragrant. This dish could have been even better if the long beans are cooked till it's softer and sprinkled with small crispy fried shrimps.

- Seafood Braised Rice
 
The Braised Rice is tasty and the rice is slightly charred, adding more flavour to the dish. You can find seafood such as prawns, sotong and sliced fish that is very fresh. The braised sauce tastes light yet delicious and more importantly, it is not oily.

Overall, I find that  their food is pretty good and the restaurant has lots of hidden treasures that I have yet to try out. You must also check this place out yourself to believe.
Rating: 8/10 (Good, Must Try)
