[CLOSED] Ah Hua Kelong (Riang)

Since they source their seafood from their own farm, lala is definitely something you should get as well.

The soup was very creamy, comes with generous amount of bee hoon for medium size. There’s also lots of lala but sadly you could find some empty shells within. $19.90+

It seems like many people ordering this so decided to give it a try also.

I totally like how soft it was and blend together with the spinach, with fried egg at the bottom. $14.90+

I have always wanted to try their fresh seafood and finally found the chance to visit their outlet in Serangoon.

They prepare their seabass in a few way including the nyonya assam style, which add some spicy taste to it. The fish was fresh and soft, with lots of meat. $29.90+

A treasure bag packed with the ocean's bounty - seabass (not shown in photo), a large hairy crab (upgraded from flower crabs), mussels, clams, cockles and prawns. Steaming the seafood retained its natural sweetness and flavour, and making it a healthier dish. The highlight was the Harvested XL Clams that were astonishingly large and it was such a delight to eat in one mouthful. They were more chewy than normal-sized calms, and filled with juiciness and a stronger taste of the ocean.

Ooh La La...a large comforting soupy bowl of beehoon filled with generous amount of lala. The seafood broth was light yet very flavourful with added aroma from the bits of pork lard; and the bee hoon were simmered nicely and soaked up the richness of the broth. Deliciously slurping up every goodness the bowl has to offer.

Ah Hua Kelong at Riang seems to have a different menu from the one at Haji Lane. We had the wings, salmon with nonya spices and salted egg calamari rice bowl for lunch. There was nothing to shout about for the food - nonya spices (spices taste not super obvious) and salted egg calamari felt that the dough was a little too much. An okay rice bowl but I liked that they used the thin asparagus which added nice texture.

However, service could really be more attentive. Asked for sharing plates, asked for water and the waiter could conveniently forget right after we asked about it (there was only one other customer in the restaurant) and we had to ask again. When we wanted to redeem the Burpple beyond deal, waiter seemed very uncertain and sulky about it as well. I will come go to the Haji Lane branch which seems much more promising with a more interesting menu.
