Lai Wah Restaurant

Happened to be around Bendemeer and this good friend of mine suddenly suggested to go to this Lai Wah restaurant for dinner. He mention to us that this restaurant started way before we were born, is an old traditional Chi Zar restaurant. This restaurant was located below the HDB flat and thou is located near the main road but it can hardly be seen unless to those who have been here before or stay around this area.

This restaurant give me a very old school feeling like those older generation who held their wedding in this kind of restaurant, it was not crowded yet when the time we reached. We were served with a plate of peanut and chinese tea when we were seated. They have quite alot of variety and they also served set menu here. I wanted Prawn Paste Chicken Wing but the auntie said they don't have it anymore, kinda of disappointed. So ended up we decided on the Fried Prawn, Garlic Pork Chop, Belacan Kangkong, Sweet & Sour Fish and Fu Rong Egg. Their menu are mainly in chinese, pardon me for this as I can't really remember the name of the dish.

I must admit that the food here are quite nice but the price range are a little steep maybe due to their popularity. Overall the bill comes up to $75 for 3 person, whether is it expensive or not is up to you all to judge.

Their address printed on the napkin

- Garlic Pork Chop

I thought it will come in slices because it stated Pork Chop but it was in chunk. This is really nice, the meat is very tender and fragrant. The taste of garlic is just nice, not to strong, give this dish a try.

-Sweet and Sour Fish

By looking at the colour of the fish my feeling tell me that this dish is not going to be nice but surprising it taste better than I thought.The fish was soft and fresh and the sauce match perfectly.

-Belacan Kangkong

This dish is almost the same as what we ate outside but here their Belacan is not very spicy and the vegetable is very crunchy and fresh.

 

-Fried Prawn

Okay, this dish is expensive lolz. I do not know what is that called that wrap with the prawn but it is very crispy and most of all is not oily. Prawn are big and fresh, no shell and it is very crunchy.

 

-Fu Rong Dan

Hmmm.... Common dishes nothing much to said on this.
