Tung Lok Seafood @ Marine Cove (East Coast Park)

Note: Today's post has been brought to you courtesy of Standard Chartered Bank.

Barry and Fin, the two fish that you most probably would have seen on television, invited me for a meal again! This time it is to Tung Lok Seafood. Look at the shock of their faces when it's to another seafood place. LOL!


Other than Barry and Fin from Standard Chartered Bank, we had 2 folks from HungryGoWhere, a rep from 24Seven Communications and LadyIronChef joining me for dinner.




So what was for dinner? We started with this huge Special Chilled Seafood Platter. Just look at it! Ooo... Cold Crabs, Kanpachi Sashimi, Mekajika Sashimi, Thai Style Crab Meat Salad, Fresh Oyster with Chilli Sauce and Mexican Ceviche.

I like the sashimi. The oysters was not bad too.

Our dear Fin had her first ever Oyster! Being a fish, I guess it was hard for her to swallow her fellow sea creatures. haha...



Look at Little Miss Crab. They sure are looking crappy! Look at the stare she is giving me! I have learned to ignore their stares. ;-)



These deep fried prawns with wasabi-mayo sauce is good too. I would personally like it more fiery. I added more wasabi (from the sashimi) to it and it really gave a rush off my head. Woosh!



This is the oven-roasted sliced pork shoulder. It reminds me of Bangkok Street Food. I think many of us liked this.



This the Tung Lok's version of Chilli Crab. It was above average, but did not really wow me.



But the more watery sauce did make some at the table happy. They loved this fried mantou with the chilli crab sauce.



I prefer the Black Pepper Crab. I have my preferred Black Pepper Crab elsewhere, but this is quite ok.



This is nice too. Steamed Razor Clam with garlic. The vermicelli has soaked up all the juices. Really nice!



This pretty dish is Chinese Spinach simmered with Nameko Mushroo in Fish Stock.



We were already full with the above, but we were tempted by the desserts.
This is what some had, the chilled mango pudding.



I had the Chilled Lime Sherbet with Lemongrass Jelly. I liked it.
The lime sherbet was light and refreshing and the lemongrass jelly was nice too.

Mooncakes by Tung Luk

Our boss walked in to our office last Friday and brought in some mooncakes. Think he went to Tung Luk for lunch and brought back some for us to try.

It's mini mooncakes. A box has 16 minis and I think the boss says it cost $44.



The other quarter of the box with another 4 mini mooncakes.



But it was fun and colourful though.
Putting on paper serviettes, we cut them up.
We had lunch and was still full, so these mini pieces was good.



They are all very fruity flavour!
Do you realise for the photo below, it's red, yellow and green. Traffic lights!



This was quite unique though.
It's purple potato flavour.



This is the flavour guide. ;-)
8 different flavours to choose from.



Thanks boss!

Now we are wondering, with the bad economic year, will our vendors be distributing mooncakes to us? Hmm...

Tung Luk Seafood @ Upper Jurong Road

This was dinner that I had with Momo and her parents. It was at Tung Lok Seafood at Upper Jurong Road.



Yet another Yu Sheng on this blog. LOL. Quite delicious and has a fanciful name too!
Bountiful Harvest Salmon Yu Sheng.



"Tan Jia" Style Fish Maw Bisque.
What is Tan Jia? I have no idea ;-)



But it's delicious and has lots of ingredients.



Steamed Sea Perch with Minced Garlic and Preserved Vegetables.
If you are a fish lover, you should try this perch. So soft and it taste so good.



This is Pan Fried Pork Ribs with Lemongrass.
It is so fragrant and the pork ribs are huge.



The vegetable dish: Fried Kailan with garlic.



The bisque, perch and pork ribs are individual servings, ie, each of us got a bowl/plate of it.
Yummy!

Tung Lok Seafood @ East Coast Parkway (Part II)

Sorry for the late post, backdating it. (hehe..)

Are you a fan or lor pok gao? Well, I did not get to eat it! Hmmm it's ok, we were too busy eating so many other things! The lazy susan does get to rotate a full round, and the food's gone. So, each half the table only eats the food in front of them! haha...



This I got to try. It was at my side of the table.
Looks a tiny bit oily, but it was very crispy! Imagine the super crispy bite now, "kounk kounk" at then the warm moist filling in your mouth. It was quite divine! haha... We ordered a few more plates of it, after the crackling sound made the other side of the table so tempted! LOL.



This is another of the crispy stuff. Nice and crispy on the outside, moist and juice prawns inside!



This was the 2nd round ordering, after all the food was gone. We wondered if we tasted all 20 over of the dishes. Then suddenly someone said he liked the sambal sotong. Then our side of the table asked, what sambal sotong? We totally missed it over this side, so we placed order for 3 plates. LOL. We did not regret putting these just nice, not rubbery sotong in our mouth.



Our second order of 'fried calamari'. This is very addictive! Super! After deep frying, the added the addictive spicy stuff over it! haha...



The first round of these dumplings had people at the other side of the 12 person table, so this side of the table also wanted to try it.



Some like the prawn paste chicken wings, so more was ordered. It taste quite nice with the sweetish chilli sauce that came with it.



I ate lots of these! Steam Pork Ribs. It did not have much 'bones' for the 'ribs' haha... But it was quite nice. I have this bad habit of liking to drink up the so called soup. :-O



Yes, there are vegetables, we had a few orders of the sambal kangkung and also the other vegetable that I suddenly forgot! Getting your tongue spiced up always makes us happy!



We ordered all the desserts on the menu to share too.
We had guilin gao, ice cream puffs and this is the 'tang yuan'. This tangyuan is the dry version with peanut powder. It's actually quite nice! A colleague had like 6 of them!



Let me end this makan trip with a sweet ending.
Red Bean Soup. No, we did not sell our birthright for this bowl of soup. :-)



Yesterday's post had someone asking how much it costed the boss?
We has 12 person and the total bill was $300 with $2 change. :-P

Tung Lok Seafood @ East Coast Parkway

Today, the boss treated us lunch. What's the occasion? It was to welcome a new colleague that joined us last week. Since the boss was treating, we were 'tasked' to choose a few places to go.

Do we want to 'ketuk' him? haha.. We remembered we had him treat us lunch at Club Chinois when he got a Public Service Award some years ago. haha.. That cost him a bomb! (ey, you all don't say eee..., these people, take advantage only... don't tell me it did not cross your mind if your boss is treating you all. haha.. )

Anyway, we were kind and chose a reasonably priced place. We wanted to have Dim Sum Buffet. So, a colleague made the arrangements and book a table for 12 @ Tung Lok Seafood at East Coast Parkway.

Here's what we ate.



Brain food! Walnuts always taste good right? Toasted, coated with caramel and sesame seeds. How can some high in anti oxidant taste so good? LOL...



OK. Since we had so many of us, we practically ordered everything in the menu! The first thing that arrived on our tables were the Century Egg Porridge. We love porridge. Nice warm porridge warmed our hearts and also appetite.



Next came a few plates of Chee Cheong Fun. We had the succulent prawns version and the fragrant char siu version. Which is your favourite?



Such beauties aren't they? Hand crafted, almost translucent skin, freshly steamed, whole prawns just waiting for your mouth to savour it.



When was the last time you had braised duck wings? For many of us, too long ago. Soft and tender soy sauce chicken, roasted char siew and roast duck. We loved it, and had a second order later.



If you have been following our food diary, you know these bunch of nut cases loves chicken feet, or shall we put it in a more gourmet term, Steamed Phoenix Claws. Guess how many steamers of phoenix claws we had? We counted, 14! Hey, the collagen will you flawless attractive skin ok? If they could speak, they will tell you, 'don't look me no up'.



If you saw the egg tarts a few days ago and thought hey, I want it the way it should be. They have it here. Mini versions, or bite size as it is the term people use nowadays. One bite is definitely not enough.



This was mid way... interested in more photos of the food we had?



It's always fun to go eat in big groups, you get to taste a bit of everything.
More photos tomorrow....
