Of abalone and sharksfin...

I think this has got to be one of the most expensive meal that I have eaten...


Brought my family to Chef Rasa Sayang Sharksfin Restaurant when I was back home... since I haven't been home for the last 2 years, thought I'll make it more special for my parents who worked so hard to provide me with the opportunities to chase my dreams...
And Yuni... sorry! I'll bring you out and make it up to you in August ok?

Anyway... here's what we had... (drumroll)...


A bowl of sharksfin soup, also known as Buddha Jump Over the Wall... Their version of it is slightly different from the one that my MiMi usually cooks as they included crab claw and fresh scallops in it...





Next up is the highlight of our meal... one whole abalone each for everyone!!! I've never eaten such huge abalone in my life before.. it's about half of the size of my face!! It's also very thick but yet... very soft and tender... it was absolutely delicious... I even finished up all the sauce... hehe... it's abalone sauce after all leh... :P





We also ordered a Peking duck to complement our meal... this is similar to the crispy duck in the UK where you wrap the duck meat with a thin popiah like skin together with the sweet sauce and cucumbers... I actually prefer the local version compared to the one in the UK as this one you only eat the crispy skin!! hehehe... no wonder I'm getting FAT!!! The remainder of the duck meat is then used to stir-fry noodles...



And finally, for dessert... we were given complimentary coconut pudding as my dad knows the owner of the restaurant (Ah Soon Gor)...



Well... the meal costs me about RM 2,500 (roughly about £400!!!!) but it's all worth it... just look at how happy everyone is (look at how happy my MiMi is when cutting up her abalone! :P)... at the end of the day... this is nothing compared to what my parents has done for me... and it's also a little present from me to them... to remind them that their little girl is now grown up and can provide for them instead!!!



And it's even better than any Michelin starred restaurant that I've been to so far!! :)
