SUKA MAKAN: CHUI HWAY LIM TEOCHEW CUISINE @ KENG LEE ROAD

It's the birthday of my brothers, and the Chang family has opted for a non-Western restaurant. The well-known Chui Huay Lim Teochew Cuisine restaurant at the Chui Hway Lim Club on Keng Lee Road is the Swatow version of fine dining. 

Teochew food is known for its subtlety, where the fiery and pungent spices of Sichuan and Cantonese cuisine seem anathema. But this should not be mistaken for blandness, because the more you savour the taste, the more you want to indulge. Satiety comes late in the meal, and you want some more. 

Classic braised duck with tofu

Oyster omelette - the crispy variety

Wok hey fried kway teow
was surprisingly delicious.

Anyway, the dishes we had were a combination of classics as well some luxuries - lobster is not on your daily menu. A little goes a long way here.
