Ya Kwang Dai Pai Dong @ 709 Geylang Road

Today, my sis and I had lunch with Camemberu and Southernoise at Ya Kwang. It was good to see Southernoise after like 12 years! and finally got to meet Camemberu & Nadine.

We had arranged this lunch a long time ago just to try the Crab Bee Hoon. But alas, the flight that brought the crabs got delayed or something like that and there was no crabs for us today.




No crabs? No worries, as there's other things to eat.

This is the 'clam noodles' (or you can call it al dente 'vongole pasta' chinese style. It's 'lala ban mian ala western style', which taste very good. We had wanted to eat the 'lala' alone, but was recommended by Jason (the owner) that you should eat it with the noodles. We ordered a double portion of clams with 1 portion of noodles to try. The gravy there is yummilicious!



We also had this veg dish with mushrooms. The mushroom goes very well with this veg with a bitter tip. It was fried with lots of garlic and it was yummy for a garlic fan like me ;-)



People who comes here will always try this. The rib-eye terriyaki.
It looks a bit different this time compared to the last time I was here, but it was still good.



We had Char Kuey Teow as well. I am a CKT fan, so I will just eat it whenever I see it, done any style. This is the Penang Style CKT.



We got to try the Salmon Head Steamed Hong Kong style. It was recommended by Jason. OK lah. It was nice but I think my sis who don't like fish with fishy smell did not really touch it. LOL. All on the table thinks Salmon should only be eaten as sashimi. (or grilled).



We also had fried chicken wings. Somehow, I did not have the picture in my camera, and I think camemberu did not have it as well. LOL. Why ah? Too busy eating and playing with Nadine lor.

We were joined by ieat and family who said he might pop by. He did. It was interesting to see ieat & Jason experimenting new dishes on the fly, next thing you know, something new appears on the table! Next time you are there, you might want to try the "Teriyaki Beef Hor Fun" that was concocted today. (Beef strips with yummy caramelized onions on hor fun.)




Want to know how much it cost? Or what's on special? Just take a look at the prices here ;-)



We still have not tried the Crab Bee Hoon, so maybe we might be back again!

Food's taste good and value for money. You can pop by 709 Geylang Road (Lor 37) between
11am to 11pm daily. If you want certain special orders, call them at 9817-0006

Photos of my previous trip here with colleagues.
You can pop over to Camemberu to check out the stories too.

Ya Kwang Dai Pai Dong @ 709 Geyland Road

This was eaten yesterday. I was too tired to post it so I posted yesterday, so the Tau Huey got posted first. (less photos mah.... hehe..) Anyway.....

When we were all concentrating at work yesterday, suddenly my yahoo messenger pop up with the words: "Lunch at: http://ieatishootipost.blogspot.com/2008/01/ya-kwang-dai-pai-dong-different-cze.html ?" Of course we all said "sure". Read Doc Leslie's blog to read more about this place.

Our makan coordinator at work must have planned it all, coz another colleague who usually parks his car at his wife's workplace (with free parking), decided to park at our workplace. So, we got two cars to drive all the way to Geylang.

The first car arrived much earlier and ordered the food. We arrived just in time to makan.

Anyway, we had this fabulous Char Kuey Teow. There's the $4 version and the $8 version. We thought that we ordered the $8 version, but the $4 version came. Of course the $4 is not enough to feed 8 hungry gluttons like us. So after this arrived, we ordered another $8 portion of it. (confused? :-0)

Delicious, but just a tad too salty for half of us who had more sensitive tongue. We will still eat another plate though. haha...



There was a great disappointment. We were told no crabs!!! Aiyo, they also did not have crabs over at the owner's parents shop nearby. Alamak, how? So we settled for cereal prawns. "Boh Jim, Hey Mah Hor"



To replace the crab, we also had this delicious sotong. The sambal makes us 'gian' for more. If you like spicy stuff, eat this. Cooked just right, no rubbery texture.




Aha. This is delicious. Very delicious. Rib eye with teriyaki sauce. Lots of onions! Heavenly.. The meat was tender, juicy and chunky. Yes, we had double servings of this.



We also had chicken wings.



Our only veg. Ti Wang Miao.



OK, we shall be back another day for our crabs.
Be warned... we were very thirsty by 3 or 4 pm. haha..

$130 plus for all of the above plus drinks. The expensive part is actually the parking fine that our colleague got. Urrghh.. extra $50 to the bill.

Have a Blessed Weekend!
