AHYAT Hunan Restaurant

On my maid's birthday we were wondering where we could celebrate with her. Out of the blue, my daughter suggests the eateries at Turf City. The last time we were there was 4 years ago.

When we reached there, I was very pleased to see a branch of AHYAT Hunan Restaurant there. My first lunch experience at AHYAT was when it first opened its first branch at Singapura Building. My experience then was pleasant. I still remember it served very good fried chicken with salt and pepper. So we decided to give it a try again.

The environment is very pleasant and the food were very good. We ordered fried asparagus and scallop with XO sauce which was very well done, fried chicken with salt and pepper which was very good as it was done just right with the meat very tender and skin very crispy, kangkong belanchan ( my daughter's favourite - she said it was very good), pan-fried beancurd & egg with spicy sauce which my maid loves, pan-fried dumpling vegetable which was delicious as well, and special fried rice wrapped in Lotus leaf which is okay (I think they served us 5 portions as there were 5 of us and it was huge.

We are relatively small eaters so there were a lot of leftovers which we takeaway. If I had known I would have ordered 2 portions which will be just right. As usual, we ordered desserts even though we are all very full. We ordered a potion of mango pudding and red bean. I thought the desserts were below average.

When the bill came, I found that they charged for the towel, pickle and - believe it or not - plain water as well ($1.00 per glass). The bill came up to $142.42 inclusive of a pot of homemade chrysanthemum tea, two Cokes and a Sprite. Next time I go I'll make sure I do not ask for any water.
