Restoran Sin Choy Lee

Holidays are here and TheNuggetScale has also sorta been taking a break over the weekends but now we are back and running. Today we are about to take you to a place that might be unfamiliar to most people living in the Selangor and KL area.

People say that we should not underestimate quiet and small towns cause what actual good can come out of them ? Well , we are taking you today to Raub, Pahang to the most famous Chinese restaurant there that is famous for hosting weddings and special events.

Here we go!

1. Stir-fried Sawi

As usual in a Chinese dinner, vegetables are the first dishes that come out.

Children usually do not like vegetables. However, for some reason, the children at my table totally loved this dish!

I would say that eventhough it is just vegetables, it was quite well cooked.

Therefore:

2. Bentong Famous Taufu

Bentong has a famous taufu factory that produces superior taufu. I got a chance to taste it in action at this place.

This is taufu fried with some vegetables. The taufu has a very nice bite to it and has a very good taste. Lives up to its famous name.

Well done!

3. “Kau Yuk” Stewed belly pork with yam

It just keeps getting better. My favourite dish finally arrived at my table! It is belly pork that is stewed together with yam. The meat that they served here, looking at the pictures, you can see is not too fat, not too lean. Just nice! Lots of flavour as well.

The yam is soft and flaky. Very well cooked. It does not break into pieces when i poked it with my fork neither is it as hard as stone.

4. Stir Fried Brinjal with dried prawns

I never liked brinjals in my entire life. But this dish really tickled my tastebuds. The brinjal is not too soft nor too hard. Very flavourful and succulent.

5. Watercress Soup

It is made up of watercress vegetables plus also pork meat!

It has a very herbivorous taste. Even the pork tastes like vegetables.

It has a good strong flavour.

 

 

6. Steam Patin Fish.

Patin fish is a very expensive fish and said to be quite abundant in Pahang.

I really enjoyed eating the fish cause the meat is really smooth and succulent. Very good flavour as well. Not many bones too!

 

7. Steam Kampung Chicken with Wolfberries “Kei Zi”

This dish is steam chicken with soy sauce and Kei Zi.

The chicken that they used here is free range “Kampung Chicken”. Therefore, the meat has less fat and a nicer taste to it.

Cooked to perfection.

 

 

Want to know the price for all 8 dishes + free flow rice + tea? Get ready……………..

RM180!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its really true when they say that small doesn't always mean bad. This whole meal would have cost around RM200-300 in KL especially due to the Patin fish.

A very good place to enjoy good food without giving you white hair worrying about your finances ;)
