Celebrating My Mum's Bday at Ming Kee Live Seafood

My family went to Ming Kee Seafood restaurant to celebrate my mum's birthday. 

The tea was served in a mini glass.

We ordered frog's leg.  This time, we didn't order the spicy version as dad was having a bad throat.

Crab Beehoon (1.3kg -> $56)

Their version of crab beehoon was different from that of Mellben.  This is the "dry" version not the soupy one.  The staff told us that their crabs were all from Sri Lanka and at least 1.2kg.  However, we all felt that the one served to us was not that big.  We normally ordered 1kg crab when we dine in Mellben and a 1 kg crab was already very big.  Thus, we doubt this one weighed 1.3kg.

Home-made Tofu with Spinach and Mushroom, in scallop sauce

I like this simple dish, the smooth and silky texture of the tofu especially.

Guiness Pork Ribs

For dessert, we had soursop with longan.  Quite refreshing but rather sour.

Dean's Cafe @ Toh Guan Road

Sister-in-law, Christine helped to organize a family dinnner at Toh Guan Road. She did some research on XINMSN before recommending us to this place.  This stall was shown on channel 8's show "Sizzling Wok" last year.  This place has 3 speciality dishes, namely:  1)  Crab Beehoon, 2)  Cripsy Duck and 3)  "Chai Por" Horfun.  We ordered all the above 3 recommended dish and other dishes such as a "Soon Hock" fish, Scallop in Yam, Vegetable "Nai Bai" and hotplate tofu.

Crab Beehoon

The beehon was good and according to the video, the beehoon was pre-fried first to give it a bit more flavour.  The crab meat was very firm but I would prefer it to be a bit softer.  There wasn't much orangy roe in this dish, a bit disappointing.  I still prefer the crab beehoon near my place at Pasir Ris - "Seafood Kitchen".

Horfun in "Chai Por" ($5)

I like this dish.  Very special and it was quite appetizing.  It tasted something like fried carrot cake + horfun :P

Crispy Duck

 Each yam ball with scallop cost $2.  It was served with mayonaise.  However, I think there is really nothing quite fantastic about this dish actually.
