Teo Chew food (Teo Soon Long Chan).

I never know Melaka have great chinese food, or more specifically Teow Chew food, until I tried Teo Soon Long Chan. A shop owned by 3 typical old Teo Chew Chefs.

They claim to have real good business around and the shop isn’t big, so they advice you to make reservation before you come to avoid disappointment.

Peanuts, and 2 house-specialty sauce.

Once you enter the shop, you can see many liquors stacking up on the wall and cupboard for sale. So many and so irresistable. The price isn’t cheap though, RM150 for a Chivas. I think I can get it cheaper in Jusco lor.

Big/small bottles of liquor, and one of the chefs of course.

To place our order, the chef lead us to their “fridge” where they place all the fresh seafood for us to choose. With some recommendations from the chef as well as blogger whom blogged about it, we made a fast call on the dishes.

Crab? Prawn? Oyster? Frogs? Soft-shell crabs? Clams? They have it all!

First to come was the fry oyster noodle. It’s the best oyster noodle I ever had, with big and juicy oyster and super black sauce, pluz some kungfu from the chef, and also the sambal + lime juice, it tasted perfect! Just perfect for our hungry stomach.

Hochiak!

Then came the house-toufu, topped with chopped meat. Soft toufu and almost-crispy skin, delicious is the word that came our of my mouth.

Hochiak!!

They call themself big chef. Even a simple dish of vege can be so tasty. It totally can’t be compared to any restaurants in Melaka. Damn good!

Hochiak!!!

Finally came our sweet and spicy King-Crab. One crab is almost 1kg, you imagine the size. With this big size, you needn’t have to dig deep to get meat, the meat is EVERYWHERE! So fresh, so nice!

Hochiak x 100000!!

And for our dessert, there’s their house specialty, steamed yam with pumpkin and ginko seeds. The yam is smashed into very find texture and it’s so thick. Mix with the pumpkin and dinko seeds, they taste just naturally sweet. Seriously you can’t get this dish elsewhere. It’s only here you get the best!

This is good I’tellu

For a good food, normally you will need to pay for a good price. It’s a freaking RM144.60 for the four of us.

Damn no wonder people always say that we are rich. We are not!! We are just greedy, greedy and greedy. If some one were to attack me with good food, I surely will surrender. :D

Wonder when will my parents come visit my in Melaka. Time to give them a try on Good food, of course at the expense of my dad’s wallet. Wuahaha!
