Dining With Jewelle

We had dinner at the nearby Teo Chew Restaurant recently and this place still amazes me.

For such an eatery that is really out of nowhere, the food that they have here are on par with any good restaurants in the country. The selections are great and the quality is quite impressive for such a simple place.

My two brother in laws couldn’t make it for the dinner so we ordered individual rice dishes :

Since the nearest town Seria is about 15 mins away, our community in Lumut and Sg. Liang (a neighbouring suburb) are not more used to going out much at night - unless if one is young and single and bored to death at home, I guess!

That is, business at eateries around our community are rather quiet at night.

However, Teo Chew Restaurant, although never jam-packed, always has their share of customers even for night dining which I think really says something about their dishes. Check out the dishes we had for one of our earlier trip here.

So if you haven’t been there, you should give it a try.

We didn’t mind having hubby’s birthday dinner at Teo Chew as they do serve delicious food. What’s more, it’s a mere 5 mins drive from home and with my kids strict bedtime, it’s the best choice.

As usual, father in law was in charge of the dish selections. This time he picked 8 dishes :

There was a soup and a claypot dish which, for some reason, they never fail to order. Needless to say, it’s not my favorite.

I had to miss the prawn and beef because of my allergy but the other dishes more than made up for this. The spare ribs were so tender, it had to pressure-cooked. Even Eu gave me an assignment. She wanted me to cook the sweet and sour fish at home.

Service was as usual prompt and efficient. I thought we’d be the only customers at this time of the day but I was pleasantly wrong. Obviously, there are others who enjoyed their food as much as we do.

It’s very reasonable too. 8 dishes for 9 adults only costs $100+.

If only they have a nicer environment, they would be the clear choice for wedding dinners.
