Tan Chin Lee Sea-Fresh Restaurant

Tan Chin Lee is the few restaurants that have us splurge dollars on. Having just visited them in June, Ric was aching to have his Teochew Steam Fish today.

We planned to go light on our menu as i'm suffering from a mild Gastric Flu. Yeah, the Flu that kills your appetite and makes you repel any sight of oily food.

Claypot Sea Cucumber and Fish Maw ($30+)

Their claypot dishes are so good. We wiped out our bowls of rice with its aromatic savory gravy and could then concentrate on our steam fish when it arrived hot from the steamer after this :)

Steamed Red Garoupa (Teochew-Styled) $40+, seasonal priced.

This authentic Teochew dish just gets better with time; it's much of a standard order for us. My kitty natural revealed and i had spent the next half hour clearing out the bones. My favourite being the stomach and head, what yours?

We then have a take away of Ric's much recommended Fried Rice for my father, who is a great fan of Fried Rice.

Seafood Fried Rice in Black Soy Sauce ($6+)

A humble dish of simply rice fried in black soy sauce, with eggs and seafood pieces like prawns and squids. Looking deceptively simple, its aroma and taste tells you otherwise.

Ric was much comforted that they managed to retain the same flavor that he had tasted of, 26 years ago. It's a winner you gonna try.
