who serve the best teochew la pia (cake)?

[Merl Haggard]

Just checked with my mother and she said the traditional moon cake used to be sold at Thye Li, but now closed down liao....This year CNY, sister got it at a shop somewhere in Lorong Ah Soo... will find out and let you know. But, no guarantee the la pia quality is what you want...Cheers.

Thye Lee is located at Blk 108, Lorong Ah Soo and they are still in business.

anyone into authentic teochew restaurant?

Chui Wah Lim Teochew Restaurant at Keng Lee Rd operated by Jumbo was good and I had dined there about six times.

I stopped patronising Chui Wah Lim a year ago when they replaced their original local Teochew chefs with PRC ones.

The last time we dined there they served us bad braised duck and pomfret fish.

Joe,

La piah is pork-lard-bun and it's artery clogging, so please don't eat it too often.

Ok thank you. So this big piah is called la-piah? I thought its a giant tau-sar-piah. Will have a quarter for breakfast tomorrow morning with kopi-O.

Ah Orh Seafood Restaurant at Jln Bt Merah serves great Teochew makan. There is another at Bendemeer. Just can't recall the name now. Located below HDB block near Whampoa South.

Had it about 6 months ago. Imo, not that great.

Red Star is still operating, but it is not teochew restaurant. It's cantonese style.

Ah Orh is in block 115 Jln Bt Merah (si-kah-teng) is good. A Teochew restaurant I used to frequent is Huat Kee (74 Amoy Street) 100% authentic but a little expensive. The other very good teochew restaurant is Teochew City in Centrepoint, love their cold flower crab.

Ok, now I recall the name of the other Teochew restaurant - Liang Kee. Used to entertain foreign guests at Huat Kee in the past but never there on my own with friends or family. Been a long time since I makaned at Teochew City.

Years ago when I just started to visit Huat Kee saw an old man with his kakis there for lunch because I know boss he told me its oldfart's dad who makan there almost every week.

What happened to this restaurant? I used to go there and a number of family members were involved so one would have thought some one in the family would take over in a different location. Recently they invited their regulars for dinner.

There was a traditional Teochew restaurant, Mong Hing at Keypoint, Beach Road. Used to have reunion dinners there every year. Unfortunately, this year 2013 will be their last year of business as the complex is to be redeveloped by May....another lost traditional food source...

Liang Kee and Ah Orh 'boi-sai' liao.

Last year I hosted a lunch for 11 at Liang Kee at Bendemeer and the foods were nowhere near to their Ellenborough Market/Tew Chew St days.

All my khakis rekon Ah Orh's standard has dropped and he's overcharging.

Had it about 6 months ago. Imo, not that great.

The founder of Chui Huay Lim Teochew Restaurant started off as a cook at our Chui Huay Lim Club at Keng Lee Rd where he prepared lunch and dinner daily for us members.

After his two decades of service to the club, he appealed to the club's committee to allow him to use the Chui Huay Lim's name for his restaurant opening at Mosque St in the late 80's.

The son was looking after the restaurant when Jumbo bought over.

Isn't this La Pia very sweet? I thought they are a different version of mooncake - teochew style. I came across a shop near Khatib Camp. Was at the malay coffee shop eating and saw one of the shop houses selling all the traditional sweetie staff and they have a "small factory" behind the shop.

 

[Froggy]

waa.with kopi o. you really understand la pia and kopi o synergy

Where I am can hardly find a good cup of coffee as in the "gor-za" kopitiam style so the closest is this I buy from Singapore



After cutting the piah I realised that the inside is a little different from tau-sar-piah, this piah's filling is rather dry and loose but it smells real good like lardy



Taste wise is is salty and sweet and I guess it's plentiful of saseme seeds make a great difference.

Cheer guys have a good day ahead

Ah so, even my mom wasn't impresses with LK (you even made to sit on 5 foot way outside restaurant proper). Ah Orh's kitchen/fridge display brought back memories of Ellenborough's great days. Sambal hay-poh was an institution, even for non-teochews.
