Ah Yat Abalone Forum Restaurant - Section 13

Yesterday's lunch was a bit special as MD and I had planned to eat at Ah Yat Abalone in Section 13. So I had invited both my friends, Terrence and Calvin (no! not the instructors, but my ex-colleagues). As MD had this RM50 cash voucher so we thought we gonna try something different this time around. But we only found out that the cash voucher was only valid for ala-carte or lunch set and do not apply to Dim Sum (which was on 50%). What the heck, we just ordered both set lunch meal and also Dim Sum together.

Once seated, we had ordered "Heong Pin" for our drink of the day. Not bad, as they will add more tea leaf in, when the tea turns plain later on. They will served this Steamed Peanuts as a appetizer and the Chilly Paste on the left was really nice. We had ordered at least 8 bowls of that chilly that afternoon.

First we had ordered their Steamed Rice in Lotus Leaf. It's not bad. But maybe a bit dry for us. The portion was just nice and not too large. (RM6)

This is a recommendation from the waiter. It's called Deep-Fried Bean-Curd with Salted Egg Yolk. Not bad also, as the taste of salted egg was really strong and the bean curd was really soft. It really melt in your mouth. (RM9)

We saw someone ordered this dish next table, so we ordered the same. It's called Wok-Fried Chicken in Chili. Well it's just OK for me. It's consider a Hokkien dish from what I heard from them. Not that spicy by the way. (RM9)

What is Dim Sum without trying their Steamed Mini Shanghai Dumpling. It's nothing compared to Dragon-I. This is what 4 of us agreed on. The soup in the dumpling wasn't as much and the skin was slightly thicker than the latter. (RM 8.80)

This is another must order dish for me and MD, Steamed Pork Dumpling with Fish Roe. Well from the looks of it, it's not bad at all. The pork inside was really fresh and the skin is not that thick but just OK. (RM8.80)

Next was Steamed Prawn Dumpling. Well nothing much to say but the prawn was really fresh and there are 3 prawns inside each dumpling. Enough said. (RM8.80)

I think this is called Prawn Dumpling with Salad Sauce. Nothing special. Just your normal prawn dumpling. And yes, the prawns was quite fresh too. (RM8.80)

This is called Deep-Fried Beancurd Skin (I think). Nothing special here. There were prawns inside the beancurd skin which was fried outside. (RM8.50)

I had ordered the Deep Fried Yam Dumpling as I always like this meal. And this is the only time I will eat Yam. Except the crispy skin on the outside there was nothing special bout this dish. The pork inside was plain and doesn't taste like 'Char Siew'. So it's not that nice actually. (RM8.50)

This is the only noodle which we ordered that afternoon, Chinese Spaghetti. What can I say? It's quite sour for me. (RM7)

How can I go without ordering Steamed Cheung Fun with Fresh Scallop. But there is nothing special bout this either. I would rather ordered their Steamed Cheung Fun with Fresh Prawn instead next time. (RM10.50)

There is also the Fried Rice with Siew Yuk which we ordered at the end as we're not full. It's really nice but I didn't have the picture with me. The whole meal without using the voucher cost RM 128.00. Expensive? Well for a place like Ah Yat Abalone, it's considered affordable I guess. (Rating : 3.5 out of 5.0)
