Tung Lok Seafood 同乐酒家 (Orchard Central)

Tung Lok Seafood 同乐酒家 is part of the TungLok Group which has manages more than 40 restaurants specialising in different types of cuisines under its portfolio. The Tung Lok Seafood restaurant specialises in Singapore style seafood. 


Refillable hot Chinese Tea at $1.50 each
Appetiser - Pickle Radish $3
Crispy Fish Skin with Salted Egg Yolk $8
Crispy Fish Skin with Salted Egg Yolk is a must try! The salted egg yolk well mixed with fish skin was fried with curry leaves and slices of chilli padi. So crunchy, tasty and savoury. Sinfully Delicious and addicitive! 
Braised House Special Beancurd with Nameko Mushrooms and Vegetables $18
The Braised House Special Beancurd with Nameko Mushrooms and Vegetables was surprisingly good. A  well-executed dish all the way from the cooking to the presentation of the dish. The tofu was smooth, soft and flavourful. Moreover, the sauce was just right as it did not overwhelm the different flavours of the ingredients and yet provided sufficient flavour to the vegetables. 
Oven-baked Pork Rib with Chef's Special Sauce $10
The Oven-baked Pork Rib with Chef's Special Sauce was average. Nothing great to shout about except that the meat came off easily. 
Deep Fried Prawns with Wasabi-Mayo Sauce $26
The prawns in the Deep Fried Prawns with Wasabi-Mayo Sauce were huge, firm and fresh. However, I thought that the wasabi-mayo sauce coating the prawn was forgettable and the wasabi intensity (spiciness) seemed to have been toned down. I did not find myself longing for another piece of the prawn.  
Sambal Kang Kong $14
The Sambal Kang Kong was outstanding and well-fried. The sambal belacan with hae bee hiam (spicy  dried shrimp) was spicy, fragrant and not oily. In additional, it was extremely addictive. Even though the Kang Kong was finished, I could not resist using getting whatever sambal belacan that was left on the plate.  
Yam Paste with Gingko Nuts served in Young Coconut $8
Yam Paste with Gingko Nuts served in Young Coconut $8
When we ordered the Yam Paste (Orh Nee) with Gingko Nuts served in Young Coconut, we were informed that we would need to wait at last 15 minutes as it is prepared and steamed upon order. It was well worth the wait.

This is unlike the traditional teochew style yam paste. Thick fragrant yam paste with gingko. Surprisingly, the coconut flavour did not overwhelm the taste of this dish. The coconut flesh could be easily can be easily scrapped.
