: : Peter’s Special : :
Sina’ : I feel like eating terubok.
So, off we went to look for it. It was me, Dad, Sina’ (my stepmum) and Auntie Caleena. Thinking of where we could find ikan terubok. Not easy, believe me, as not that many people would eat the fish. Seriously thinking of going to eat at The Venue but decided against it as it might take too long for the food to come out. So, it was off to Peter’s Special instead : an open-air Chinese restaurant that serves seafood.
Sina’ : Hmm… pretty empty today at Peter’s Special.
Dad : Ya, hor!
Wena : Wonder why?
Sina’ : Last time, it was always full of people that had to book table.
Auntie Caleena : Ya kah?
Wena : Yep, especially after 7.30 p.m. That’s why need to book a table. Dunno why it’s empty lah. Never this empty before.
Believe me, the tables used to be packed with diners as well as the aircon room on the 1st floor. Suddenly, only 2-3 tables were filled up and it was pretty quiet. I’m surprised. They served really good food and the price wasn’t too bad. Unfortunately, they didn’t have any terubok available so we settled for something else.
As an appetizer, we had some boiled peanuts. Yep, boiled. It came out pretty soft which was quite nice and a change from the usual fried peanuts.
One of Dad’s favourite dishes, I think. We usually order this to eat. Very fresh and crunchy and surprisingly, slightly sweetish.
Sina’ : Wah! This is so nice.
And it definitely was. Soft shell crab, which probably was the most expensive dish on the menu.
Soft tauhu with bits and pieces of vegetables inside it. Very tasty but kind of soft for me. They mashed the tauhu together to give it a rough appearance on the inside but it wasn’t bad.
As they did not have terubok, we settled for garupa @ ngo hu. Very tender and delicious but not as soft as pomfret @ pek chio. We still finished the whole dish though except for the bones.
That’s it for the dinner meal we had. Food alone was RM81.90. Not too bad but definitely more expensive than Top Spot.
Cheerio then!
