Steamed Fish

Weld Quay Tree Shade Seafood Restaurant. The main reason there's a "Tree Shade" in the restaurant name is because directly at the front doorstep of the restaurant there's a huge tree. It must be good fengshui that's why the owner never took it down even though it was actually blocking the entrance walkway.

The steamed fish served here was fresh indeed, without the stale fishy taste I normally get at other restaurants. Probably its because weld quay is known for being just next to the sea with ample supply of fresh fish. Served in ginger and soy sauce, we just could not get enough of the sweet fish meat.

"Pai Kut Ong" - Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs

Coincidentally, it's at a seafood restaurant as well. This round, our choice of location was not some far away state, but rather in our very own Penang Island.

The sweet and sour pork ribs served here was rather good, with lots of sauce. The texture of the meat was good too, with the pork ribs being deep fried to a crisp before doused in the sweet sour sauce and served for us. A pretty good dish I would say.

Cold Dessert of Honey Dew with Sago - RM8We ended the night with some nice sweet cold dessert of Honey Dew with Sago. It came in a big bowl enough to serve up to 6 people, with lots of froth because of the freshly prepared honey dew. I requested the sugar syrup to be separated so we could actually adjust the sweetness of our dessert as we wish.

A good end indeed, with a dish of my favourite fruit, the honey dew.

Sweet and Sour Pork Spare Ribs - RM20

As for the Sweet and Sour Pork Spare Ribs, I ordered it after doing a search up the internet on what is good here, and CRC's Pork Spare Ribs was recommended. It wasn't bad, just a tad too sour for my liking.

I' not sure why, but I prefer my sweet and sour dishes to be more sweet than sour. Here I think CRC put a tad too much lime or lemon to the dish, giving out a really sour taste to the dish. As for the texture, i have always liked pork spare ribs as they are the tastiest part.

Sweet and Sour Fish Fillet - RM20

Sweet and sour fish has always been my favourite dish no matter where I dine in, and here it was no different. Initially we wanted one whole fish, fried with sweet and sour sauce, but CRC Restaurant did not have it, hence we had to settle for fish fillet instead.

The fish itself was pretty fresh, and tasted sweet and good. But i didn't really like the texture of it, it was a tad too soft. I would have preffered my fish fillet to be crispy on the outside and yummy on the inside. Here, everything just feels too soft, including the outer flour coating.
