Ya Kwang

Lionel asked me along for dinner today at Ya Kwang (lorong 37 Geylang). This place has been blogged a couple of times on several food blogs and well known to be a not your ordinary tze char coz they use things like lobsters, lala to cook wif noodles and even ban mian.

first to kick start is the lala noodles...



its very much like vongole, the portion was big and there was a lot of lala! it was mildy spicy, tastes pretty good. audrey, lionel and michael were filled wif praises for it. i found it nice but not wow-ing enuff for me to crave or want to return for it.

da chang jin set...



it is actually pig intestine thinly sliced and fried till very crispy.

to be eaten like peking duck...



was quite nice, only $6.

fried kway teow...



i like the kway teow, i think its very nice and tasty! i think this is $9.

finally, the most special item for tonight has gotta be the lobster tang hoon ($90!!)...



very big and meaty lobster....





this is so damn good. good enough to make me crave for it. good enough to make me want to actually finish all the tang hoon. the lobster being big, was meaty though the meat was a bit tough, not tender.

the tang hoon was very tasty wif the sauce.. its thick tang hoon, quite sweet. SUPER NICE!

before we went down, lionel also highlighted that he read from some forums saying that the owner of this place will be migrating hence the place will cease operations by this month's 17th.

when we were there, we were surprised the place despite being so popular is not overwhelmed wif crowds of people. when we tried to check with the staff and the owner, we were given very ambiguious replies and awkward expressions. as a result, we kinda determined that this is probably some marketing gimmicks.... makes sense coz like wat i mentioned, this place is not your ordinary tze char stall. haha
