Ah Orh at Sin Ming and Bukit Merah

Having been out of the food scene for a while, it's been a pretty busy time trying to catch up on what I've missed, ranging from just basic hawker fare to more elaborate dishes. After that, there was also the dreariness of sorting out photos left in a mess from a long time ago.

While we were out of action, Ah Orh at Sin Ming closed down. We were thankful that we had the chance to eat there but were rather depressed at the loss of one of our favourite teochew places. We preferred it to the Tiong Bahru outlet- somehow the food had a finer edge to it despite the heartland setting.

Their cold crabs were probably the best in Singapore- full of milt and absolutely succulent.

A close up- check out the super creamy milt

Worth the cholesterol

Super fluffy oyster omelette

Amazingly fresh steamed promfret- every last drop licked up

Standard sambal kang kong

Hae Chor- crispy on the outside and moist on the inside

Compare that with Ah Orh at Tiong Bahru where the presentation is different. Crabs very decent but the Sin Ming one was just somehow more special. 

Their oyster omelette was a lot wetter

Braised duck and pork- decent but not mind boggling

Hae chor and ngoh Hiang- decent

Hokkien Mee- not sure why a teochew restaurant sells this

Yam basket- a pretty good one, in my opinion

Pork trotter with Thai sweet chilli

Fish maw soup
