Yesterday we threw my youngest brother a surprise birthday dinner celebration at this restaurant. My hubs had earlier bought a RM400+ wild river Patin fish and we brought half the fish to the restaurant to get it tastefully steamed.
Here are the dishes that we ordered.
Deep fried nam yue chicken and stir fried minced pork and dried shrimps with cabbage...
Steamed pork with watercress and fish paste, a dish that is very suitable for kids...
Koong poh deep fried pork with cashew nuts...
This is one of the signature tofu dishes of this restaurant - braised tofu on a huge bed of steamed pumpkin. Love the soft steamed pumpkin - sweet and creamy!
The highlight of our dinner - a prized wild river Patin fish which cost a bomb. Recently some food connoisseurs went to a 'tai chow' restaurant in a small town here and ordered some 'kampung' dishes, including Patin fish. The bill chalked up to a whopping RM13,000!! Now I know why Patin fish is terribly costly. This morsel is almost second to none in the fish family. There is not a hint of fishy odour in every part of the fish and the flesh is really sweet and smooth. We dug on the entire fish tail (which weighed close to 2kg) and licked every part of the bone clean!

Happy Belated Birthday to your brother. Hey you don't look like him :) I still have not tried the green tea cake from RT. I've tried the patin fish but i don't find anything special about it. to me all fishes taste the same :)
WOW....never had such an expensive dinner or fish before.
How come the bill was so expensive since the fish was brought by yourself?
Green tea cake from RT huh....must try it if it comes recommended.
The pumpkin dish and the birthday cake caught my eyes.
