Kampua Talk

I don’t know if this is tradition or what but after handling TWO funerals this year, there were after-funeral lunch each time at Cheng Siang Leu Restaurant (opposite Sacred Heart School)

Food served here has nothing to shout about. If you’re hungry, anything to fill your stomach would be good enough.

Soup

I don’t know what they call this. There are deep-fried hard-boiled eggs in the soup of some cabbage and carrot, sprinkled with spring onions. It tastes like boiling water sprinkled with black pepper. That’s all. I only ate the egg. ’nuff said.

The mix

There are four types of different food on this dish. Clockwise from left: mixed vegetables, fried yam, asparagus and fishroll. I love the asparagus, not for the aphrodisiac characteristic lar, what were you thinking. It was fresh. The fried yam was very crunchy and yummy but I am not a big fan of yam. The mixed vegetables consists of carrot, baby corn, ham, black fungus, etc. And the fish roll tastes suspiciously similar to fish ball, only longer in size.

Sweet and sour fish

For some reasons, the fish they served was not entirely cooked and hence there were weird taste and we didn’t finish this dish. I think this is the only dish that we didn’t manage to finish.

Mixed vegetable

I kinda like this. There are mushroms, cockles (without the shell), brocolli, carrot, etc.

Roasted chicken

Then came the sinful dish. For reasons unknown, everyone at my table fought for the skin! This dish was gone in minutes! Can you imagine that?

Then came the most sinful dish of all! Man Tao with pork and vegetable. The Man Tao was deep fried and hence the golden brown exterior. It was really nice. I like! However, I don’t really fancy the pork though. It was really fatty. It would be a totally different story if the pork was roasted to crispiness. But the Man Tao is seriously nice!

That was the last dish before we were being served fruits for dessert. I don’t think I have to put up a picture of a plate of pinapples and watermelons lar.
