Chui Huay Lim Teochew Cuisine

Crispy skin 👍🏼

A nice bowl with yuzu? fragrance. But again it's a really tiny portion

Really tiny bowl, it's alright for one pax but damn pricey

It's good though, clearly you can see the yam paste and the pork lard. The pork lard carries a bit of savoury taste here which was nice, but not for everyone. The Gingko nuts were perfect, and overall it wasn't too sweet.

Had it been more generous in portion for the same price I would have loved it

The small portion only feeds 1-2, you have been warned.

It's got some serious wok hei but nothing much otherwise. Alright as a base for the sauces but very pricey, probably get at least the regular one to share

Pictured is after everyone took a bowl alr, so the original portion is almost full(this was a 800g lobster, a Boston lobster would be 500-600g at this restaurant)

There's a discount of 40%, bringing the price closer to a boston lobster that's why we chose this.

The meat was tight but while it's obviously not hard, it's stiffer than I expected. Also less sweet than I expected for the price, but it's alright

The highlight is the soup, it was thick and full of umami while not being jelat, very easy to drink and comforting stuff. Probably has a ckn base to thicken it? Because the seafood taste wasn't too strong

Usually this would be quite severely overpriced though, at the original price(UP this claypot was 200)

Served with puffed rice and dried shrimps which added to the dish

Here is a roughly 1kg one

It's good, everything barely reach your expectation, nothing was particularly stunning. The garlic taste doesn't rlly seep into the crab, the crab wasn't very sweet, and the sauce which was not bad(again not garlicky enough) was not v generous either.

I would say go ahead and if you know this is something you like, but it's not as mindblowing as people claim
