Deep fried Sea Bass Cheek with Curry Seasoning (KFC or Kelong Fried Collar)
At a recent school get together with old class and schoolmates, we had an unforgettable meal at SCALED by Ah Hua Kelong. Located at 8 Hamilton Road, this restaurant was dimly lit from the main road, and I had some trouble parking at the nearby Jalan Besar Stadium.
Mussels in Curry
The mussels in curry was flavourful, and the mantous (normally used for Chilli Crab) gave this a nice Indian Chinese fusion taste and feel to it. I would say that it lacked some 'oomph' in that the curry could have been more viscous and thick. The one we ate was rather spread thin.
Smoked Seabass Pate with Sourdough Bread
The star of the show to me was the Smoked Sea Bass Pate, with Sourdough bread, caramelised onions and pickled garlic. I had 2 portions, it was so good. The pate was flavouful, and sourdough bread a bit on the buttery side, and the caramalised onions toppings were to write home for.
I would come back again to try this dish.
We had a couple more outstanding dishes which unfortunately I did not have the time to take a photo but the Seafood Glace Risotto was outstanding. The risotto was actually barley and it had the freshest prawns, and some scallops inside it.
Another dish, the Prawn Dashi Aglio Olio, with roasted prawns, fried prawn head and prawn stock was another winner, though rather oily.
For all of the mains and starters, its best eaten with a group of friends, and with a hearty round of drinks and catching up - just as in my case.
Panna Cotta
To end off our meal, we had the panna cotta, the panna cotta came topped with a sour plum meringue. The sweet doughy biscotti was a nice add on too.
