Chui Huay Lim Teochew Cuisine

If you like Yam Paste (Orr nee), this is the place to go.  The Yam Paste here is served with Pumpkin, Ginko Nuts, with the sugar syrup on top.  If you do not like it to be too sweet, you can always remove the syrup.  The texture is good, not too oily, with a light fragrant of the yam and pumpkin.  Served in individual portion, the portion is just nice.

We also tried others dishes such as Prawn Rolls.  Deep fried, served in a plate of 6, is a good way to start your lunch or dinner.

The braised goose in a speciality in Teochew cuisine, but I find the meat a bit tougher than duck.  The sides that served with the goose, bean curds are very good though. They soaked up the essence of the braised sauce, simply yummy.

The steamed promfret is another highlight.  Steamed just right, the meat is tender and sweet, and not too fishy.  The only feedback is that the fish was too big, and 3 of us struggled to finish it.  Learnt my lesson, hence the second time when I returned with my family, we decided not to order it.

The braised conpy with eight vegetarian treasures is also a delight.  There are mushrooms, Fa Choy, Cabbage,spinach, carrots, golden needle mushrooms (and 2 more which I could not remember).  A bit light, but good to balance so as not to have meat overdose.

The hotplate oyster egg was sizzling hot and generous with its oysters.

For your daily carbo intake, you can choose either the Teochew Fried Kway Tiao with Diced Kai Lan or Fried Seafood Mee Suan.

Overall, if you like Teochew food, Chui Huay Lim is highly recommended.  We skipped many of the traditional Teochew food such as Cold Crabs, Teochew Fried Liver Rolls and Pig Trotters Jelly. It is a surprise that this restaurant is under the Jumbo Group.  If you have a jumbo member card, there will be further discount too.  This place will be my regular hunt if I have Yam Paste craving.  The location though sounds remote, is not too difficult to locate.  If you are a rich Teochew, you probably already know that it is in the Chui Huay Lim Club.
