Unknown to many, i actually didnt go to Adelaide for its risotto only. I also went for their Char Leung. What is Char Leung you ask? In simple words, it is "yau char kuey" or "yu gu tiao" or if you insist fried crullers wrapped in a thin rice noodle sheet. Not your har cheong fun, not your char siu cheong fun nor your sweet sauce with lots of foo chuk and tau fu but char leung.
So when i happily had a whole plate to myself in Adelaide, i was quite satisfied. Then come Sunday and we go to Ah Yat Abalone Forum for Dim Sum and i spot "Char Leung".
Like a small girl running towards the big teddy bear or like a young boy screaming argh when he spots Toys R Us, i couldnt hide my giggles and quickly wrote a "1" next to it. Like an angel with a ring above my head, i patiently waited. My mind was already flirting with the same image i had a week ago.

eh, when u gng to hk?? can tell u some decent places if u're gng there :)
the flour is kinda thick oh...
i can feel your disappointment...what a difference! i guess Ah Yat is just trying to widen his repertoire, not the quality. Doesnt come cheap also, right?
jun: haha when i do go, i will ask u but i got a hkie fren there..so im pretty much in safe hands
ling239: well its alright lar..
nic: yes i know..yeap that plate dwn there is RM4.80 i think
I'm a big fan of char leung too but can't seem to find a good one here surprisingly. My friend took me to Sweet Dynasty in Hongkong. They are fame for their Tau Foo Fah serve in an old wooden tub, the size of your basin (reallyyyy) and their Char Leung. Do try if you are there.
Hmmmm.. Hard to find good char leung here.
The first and greatest time I had char leung was when I was in Melbourne. I remembered going to this chinese dim sum place in the suburb to have fantastic char leung.
After that, I've been searching for something as good as the first time I had it. ;-)
I've tried Ah Yat Abalone which is so-so only. Hehehee...
by dreaming and lusting after such a simple dish makes you a true connoiseur...for it is rare indeed to appreciate one single such item...
cheers to passion !
