Teochew Kway Teow at TOTO


Ended a work thing late-ish, and I was hungry. The husband brought the dog out to meet me. He had calls all day and while he managed a late lunch of a small sandwich, he hadn't had time to sort out dinner either.

Managed to get to TOTO Seafood at 9.30pm for their last orders. Haven't been to this restaurant for a while. They also haven't updated their socials much. I heard it has changed hands, but it didn't matter to me since the kitchen crew still produce good food. I don't know how long more they would exist; you know how F&B businesses are in Singapore — short-lived. 

The husband wanted salted egg yolk prawns, and we agreed on sweet potato leaves in a claypot. Added a protein in the form of ginger pork. I like this version. It's stir-fried with the right dark soy, and the kitchen still uses lean pork and sliced them thin. The husband's stomach was happy.

Skipped rice and went for carbs in the form of Teochew kway teow. I really like Teochew kway teow because it's dry and holds loads of chye poh. It's close enough to Penang char kway teow too. TOTO does a pretty decent version of it. I love it with its sambal belachan

We split a bottle of Orion beer too. That was kinda needed and super refreshing. Just one bottle, nothing more. No guilt. Heh. A great way to wind down after a looooong and tiring (but satisfying) day.
