Food adventure

Following the craving of my tummy, we went out on a series of food adventure. First visited was Lau Heong seafood restaurant at Sentul. It is renowned for its deep fried pork knuckle. On our order list were: claypot curry fish, pork knuckle, sizzling pan squid and prawn, ginger garlic steamed fish, baby french beans, and deep fried chicken wings. Even though we had placed our booking since morning, the wait was excruciating and long but it whetted our appetite.

The deep fried pork knuckle is served with creamy satay-like sauce and slices of cucumbers. The pork knuckle is really crispy, too bad it is a tad too small to satisfy our huge appetite. Within 5 minutes it was wiped out clean and we were all sucking on the bones, not leaving any remnants at all.
Next being served was the claypot curry fish. The size was just humongous. Instead of coconut milk, the curry was cooked with milk, with generous helping of brinjal, long beans, lady's fingers, tau hu pok (crisp beancurd) and of course fish. The fish was tender and soft but the curry was slightly too oily. We had to forgo the curry gravy for our health's sake. The pork knuckle was too little for us but this bowl of curry was too much for us to handle. The wait for our next dish was timely as we needed time to digest the so-creamy and so-rich curry.
The third dish was the squid and prawn with creamy sauce. I actually love the sauce, if only we were not stuffed with the curry fish, all of us would have enjoyed this dish. The squid and prawns were served on banana leaves that were placed on a hot plate. It was not sizzling when it was served though. I have to admit that i only took a pinch of the sauce to taste it as i was not too much into squid and prawns. Yes, it is a bit too overwhelming with so many creamy dishes. It was such a test for all of us.
Being ambitious, we had another dish of fish in our order list. This time it's steamed sting ray with garlic and ginger. We were lucky to get sting ray that didn't stink. There's nothing much to shout about for this dish. I'll just give it a pass even though fish's one of my favourites.
The other dishes are pretty normal hence there were no photos taken. Their deep fried chicken wings were done pretty well too, coated with shrimp paste batter before deep frying. They're worth a try. Even I who do not eat chicken wings took a bit and was hooked. :) All in all, you can visit this restaurant to try out their pork knuckle, chicken wings and a small claypot curry fish.
