Teow Chew food

Last week I went to lunch with my colleague. While we are looking for some chinese restaurant, one of my colleague recommend Teow Chew food. Information about Teow Chew or known as Chao Zhou people can be found at wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teochewpeople. Teow Chew cuisine are very famous in Penang too. Their food usually taste good with some sour, spicy and gravy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teochewcuisine

We then want to go somewhere nearby to Bayan Lepas area (our working office) which we were recommended to try Teow Chew Meng located at Sunway Tunas. This restaurant were once recommended by a popular local TV food channel Ho Chak!. The shop located exactly after turning in to the Sunway Tunas traffic light if you are coming from the Sunshin Square / Giant hypermarket. As soon as we enter the shop, we were serve with menu.

Looking at the menu and I was "WTF!!". It is not cheap and rather expensive. Unless the food is nice else it is not worth it.

Then when I turn the menu to the beverages page, I was like "Holy Shit!". Less ice +RM1, no ice +RM2 thingy.

End up we order Set Meal A but change 3 items in the menu to others choices. First dish arrive was the Seafood Mee Sua Kor. This is very delicious. The taste was so good.

There comes the fried poh piah, belacan chicken wings, vege and fried rice. The chicken wings and the fried rice taste very good.

The Oyster dishes also taste very delicious except a little bit too spicy.

The fried fish noodles taste not bad. It is very spicy and sour. Not suite my taste but some people may like it.

Lastly is the dessert, Oh Nee or known as yam paste. Taste not bad too but because it is kind of sticky, some people don't really like it because the texture just like eating oat except yam paste taste way better.

The service here are very good and the food taste is consider delicious too. Just that the price is quite expensive. If consider the price, I can have better meal at some seafood restaurant. Considering the services, food taste and environment, it still worth to try but may not be regularly.
