Much Ado About Food

See Good Restaurant

Side-track post (non- NJ related) but lots of food pictures coming up!

One of the classic, all-time favorite place which my family often patronize is See Good Restaurant. No, it's not sea food mis-spelled. I've been coming to this place since they first opened in the mid-80s or so. One of their earlier locations was at the old Permata Sea Food Center. Some of you Generation Y & Zs might not even know where this place was since it was torn down to make way for the likes of Eagle's Nest, Cottage, Piccadilly Music Cafe, Goal!, etc. Anyway, they moved a couple of times before settling at a shop house behind the famous Tsui Hua Lau Restaurant off Ban Hock Road.

These days, my family hardly eat out due to my Grandma's immobility. But, who's to stop us from having See Good's yummy food, right? If there's a will, there's a way. So, when I was home last year, we had a few take-out/to-go See Good meals.

This post is for Mr. Kong but I doubt that he surfs the web. Nevertheless, a compliment to his restaurant's good cooking ;)

The following are my favorite food items from this very casual & laid-back restaurant.

Fresh water prawn soup (Tom Yum base)

Sweet & spicy crab *drool*

Kampung (free-range, village bred) chicken

Foo-chow noodles. In spite of what you think, you'll slurp the gravy dry in the end!

If you're salivating uncontrollably by now, just call See Good at (082) 251397. Don't go there on the 4th & 18th of every month because you'll be cooking your own meal. *snigger*

I discovered this place after my former co-worker recommended it to me. A Hakka owned & operated restaurant. Great place for double boiled/clay-pot dishes but I go there for something else ;)

Their butter-prawns are as good as Sarawak Club's. Well, I needed to find a replacement since the Club was still in ashes & black soot when I went back. Much progress has taken place after I left.

One of their signature dishes - ngo-hiang! Pork-minced roll.

This is the real lemon chicken ;)
(unlike the ones you get in your local American Chinese take-out place; no offense, but yuck!)

Anyway, I've satisfied my craving today. I hope you have too. If you can't have it physically, it's just as good looking at it. If you can't eat it, it's just as good smelling it. Beggars can't be choosers, I guess.
