It has been a while since we stopped by Lo Hey Seafood at One Holland Village. They have downsized the menu and narrowed the offerings, which differentiated it from their sister outlet Hey Kee at Guillemard Road, but still offering good familiar items. I prefer to come to Lo Hey for a simple reason — the floors are more conducive for my floofs. Hey Kee's floors are rough af, asphalt-like. Ugh.
The menu refresh offers claypot things. Sure. As long as they don't douse everything in oil. The husband blinked at the signature hairy crab roe noodles (蟹黃麵) and immediately ordered it. I laughed. It's such a C-drama dish! #IYKYK I don't bother with hairy crabs, and certainly no crab roe. Not today. But I like the noodles loads because they it's pretty much scallion noodles (蔥油麵)! It was delicious! At S$23++, these noodles are pretty good!
Also had claypot wagyu black pepper angus beef slices. I'm usually wary of ordering beef or 'venison' at these restaurants because the meat always taste damn weird. I have no idea what they marinate it to 'soften' it, but it's gross. This version didn't turn out too bad. The salted egg Japanese pumpkin in claypot was delicious! They fried it dry and crisp. Lovely. Although at this point I laughed. You could just wok-fry everything and dump it in a claypot, and call it a claypot dish lorrr.
Had a pork rib soup with uhh one tiny abalone. Blink and you'd miss the abalone. LOL I wouldn't have minded another dish of pork-something. But they use all belly. I wasn't interested in a sweet-sour pork tonight. Never mind. I'm not particularly keen on pork belly in this amount. Anyway... we had leftovers of beef and pumpkin. So we ordered an egg fried rice, and packed it all up to-go.
