Another meal with the in-laws to celebrate a special occasion.
Hee Lai Ton, Wisma Shaw, the favourite restaurant, was fully booked for a wedding banquet so we had to choose another place.
Mixed platter - jellyfish, deep fried pork belly, deep fried crab fish meat ball, and stirfried mushroom and asparagus.
This was included in the set meal - quite oily. Actually I can't appreciate this dish and will not order this at all.
Steamed fish
20 large-medium prawns in shells - quite a task to remove the shells and eat this so there were leftovers to be brought home.
This vege was not tender at all
Fried rice - the green colour came from spinach. We were quite full when this dish was served so we thought there would be leftovers but surprisingly one of the young persons at our table finished this.
Cold dessert - I only managed to snap a photo after it was half finished.
The address
We took the easy way out by just ordering from the set menu. MYR399++ for set 1. A bowl of soup was included which I did not show here because we are not supposed to consume this product from a wildlife.
Sam You (Serdang) Restaurant
Service Charge: 5% (cheaper than other restaurants that usually charge 10%)
Govt. Tax: 6%
Total Bill: MYR 442.90 (10 pax)
the first dish the platter is always my favorite.. because it has 4-5 dishes in one and i can taste a little of everything, or probably because this is the very first dish being served due to a very long wait (especially during wedding dinners).. and i can see the jellyfish is served with abalone too~~
ReplyDeleteHahaha I think that is fake abalone. Maybe abalone mushroom only.
Deleteah, the suckling pig, something i don't eat and don't touch.. but then for an extra RM1 for this, i guess no harm ordering it, since this is really not a cheap dish.. but then, i will always prefer the roast chicken more, haha~~ :D
ReplyDeleteGuess they put it MYR1 so everyone will order and feel happy that it is that price. I think they factor in the price into the set price already.
Deletewow!!! the young man finished that whole plate of fried rice?? errr, that's a 10 pax portion or at least half of it that he has walloped.. really that good huh?? amazing!! hahahaha~~
ReplyDeleteOne third not whole because the rest of us did eat the rice too.
DeleteYour in laws love to eat too I guess? Can tell from those photos and posts you shared before, hehe!
ReplyDeleteThe elderly ones love Cantonese dishes but health only premits them to eat a little of each dish only.
DeleteWah nice food.. I love the first dish the most. The hot & cold season dish.. And also the fish.. And desserts.. Ok wor the price, not bad..
ReplyDeleteYes this set price is very attractive.
DeleteLike SK, I also look forward to first dish... normally that time, the stomach will be growling and the varieties are normally different from each restaurant...
ReplyDeleteI think the piglet and the "forbidden" soup are the main cost, right? I tell you ah.. Chinese really ah... know how to enjoy eating.. and eating.. :)
One set price, they did not break down the individual cost of the dishes.
DeleteI reckon the vege is the dragon leaves. I like that vege very much and seems a trend of having this in many restaurants.
ReplyDeleteYes it is. The name is quite fanciful - ching long choy - dragon leaves but it is actually young chives.
DeleteSuckling pig? I like!!!! Watch out for the post on what I had last night - something similar. Slurpssssss!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh really? Can't wait to read your post tonight.
DeleteSeri Kembangan seems to have lots of good food! It's out of my beat though.
ReplyDeleteIt is becoming quite a food place but no need to specially go out of your way as PJ also has similar good food.
DeleteProbably cheaper at SK?
DeleteNot so sure about that as prices in SK are getting higher!
DeleteUiks Sam U open a branch there ah. The old Hee Lai Ton still there or not ah?
ReplyDeleteThey say the PJ Sam U chef is in this outlet now, no longer in PJ. Yes HLT is still there.
DeleteI'm a very lazy person, if the prawn has the shell on it...I won't eat, hahaha~~~
ReplyDeleteMy brothers are like that too. :)
DeleteWow, all nice dishes! The first time I had the roasted piglet I actually felt giddy. Maybe due to the fats or feel guilty. hah,,hah..My favourite is always the mixed platter - a bit of everything nice. That green rice is interesting. And if prawns come with shells, it's no thank you for me hah..hah...That's how lazy I am :D
ReplyDeleteMust be the fats. My brothers also don't bother to eat prawns with shells on.
DeleteGreat food.. Feeling hungry after looking at them :)
ReplyDeleteBanquet food - actually is too much for a meal.
