Ah Yat Abalone Forum Restaurant Review

My sister has a cash voucher RM100 that can be used to dine in at the famous Ah Yat Abalone Chinese Restaurant. Don't be happy with the RM100 first because the food there isn't cheap and you must choose meals priced at 50% more from the voucher itself. For e.g. if you have RM100 voucher, you must get a menu with at least RM200 or above.

We took the RM338++ package (not including 10% service tax and 5% government tax). The menu including:

1) 6 Cold and Hot Snacks Platter

2) Shark Fins Soup

3) Yamashima Fresh Abalone and Mushroom and Vegetables

4) Deep Fried Freshwater Fish

5) Pork Trotter

6) Fried Rice with Anchovies

7) Almond Tea with Chicken Pie

The 6 Cold & Hot Snacks consists of chicken skin, eggs, fried chicken with chillies, tofu, pig's intestine, very sweet fried pork. After ate these snacks my stomach nearly full. The chicken skin is very crunchy, I like to fried chicken with chillies. I do not dare to eat the pig's intestine because it has a strong smell, my father like it very much!

Personally I like Ah Yat's shark fins soup because it is very different from the rest, the fins portion is big and it is not sliced too thinly like others. Next is the fresh Japanese Abalone, I find it is quite good of course it is better than those groceries stores. But it still can't beat the Mexican or African Abalone, of course the cost is much more expensive!!!

For the fish, I find the taste a little bland but it is very fresh. It should tastes better if taken for steam.

The pig trotter is rather a normal standard dish, the taste can be found at any restaurant. Fried rice is delicious even though I can't stomach anymore. Just tasted a tablespoon only. The desert is special yet delicious. The soup is made of almond and milk blend and the chicken pies are good! The first time, my mom praised the taste of those creamy chicken pies!

Total bill was RM310+ with tea after deducted from the RM100 voucher for 5 peoples. It's a little pricier but considering it is a fine dining, not much complain though. After payment, they gave another RM50 voucher this time, a good promotion strategy though.
