Great Teochew Food at Decent Price - Quan Le Yuan
Cold Crab - Signature Teochew Dish
Tucked away on Henderson road, are several top class Teochew coffeeshops converted to Restaurants. I have been to 1 such restaurant, called Quan Le Yuan, it is as 21 Henderson Road and it is next to the famous neighbour at 19 Henderson Road, called Mu Liang Zai Liang Kee. According to my friend and lunch buddy, Stanley Wong, these restaurants have been around for more than 25 years (!) since he was a young teenager. Although the estate has changed tremendously, what with new condominiums sprouting up every year around the Bukit Ho Swee and Bukit Merah neighbourhood, these restaurants cum coffeshops are still doing a roaring business.
Great lunch for 2 at decent price
3 weeks ago I had lunch with Betty, a friend from Hong Kong,and although I wanted to try the No. 19, , it was closed on a Monday so popped over to No. 21 and it was a serendipitous (pleasant surprise) occasion. The signature dish of Teochew Cold Crab, was sweet and went well will the red chilli padi sauce. In Hong Kong, they serve it with Worchestire sauce from Lea and Perrins. Ever mindful of my cholesterol level, I limited my intake to 2 pieces of the small but excellent tasting crab.
Briased Goose - as good as the one we had in Hong Kong last year
Next, the braised goose.Soft and easily digestible, it was also very tasty and the side of tau kwa (bean curd cake) made it all the more a complete nutritious dish with tau yoo sauce. It was a personal favourite of mine.
Sambal Kang Kong - Yummy
The sambal kangkong was a very nice surprise too. Fresh and crunchy, it had an aromatic smell to it and just the right amount of sambal not burning one's lips and making one eat it like a healthy snack. I almost ordered a second plate - it was that tasty.
The restaurant name is also very unique, Quan Le Yuan which means, 'Every One is Happy Garden'. So for the price of $49.00 and the quality of the food, I must say we both left the coffeshop restaurant happy :).
