1 Comments
Celebrated Dad's 50th birthday at Tung Lok Seafood weekend ala carte lunch buffet. Ala carte buffet is basically where you get to order as many dishes as you like from the menu. Tung Lok was the perfect place as Mum loves buffet and Dad loves the Chinese zi char style dishes. Overall each dish was pretty well executed; for a buffet, the quality of food matches or even exceeds normal restaurant standard.

Top 3 must try/spam dishes:

Menu- Photos for dishes I tried and I've highlighted must try dishes.
中国茶Chinese Tea $2.00 per person 
- Tea is good, helps in digestion so that we can eat more :)
小菜Pickles $3.00 per plate 
- More like the green peas they served at the start. Return this to the kitchen! Don't get tricked into paying $3 extra like us :(

餐前小吃 Cold Cuts and Appetisers

Salmon Sashimi三文鱼刺身 /Salmon Sashimi (Must try) Fresh, thick and chewy. One plate should worth at least $20 in cold storage so it's quite easy to eat back your money's worth.

Smoked Duck Breast

燻鸭片 / Smoked Duck Breast (Must try) Juicy despite smoked and tasted almost like ham.

Fried Beancurd

三岜炒粒粒 / Fried Beancurd Cube with French Beans and Silver Bait in Sambal Sauce - Normal

Crispy Eggplant

肉崧茄子 / Crispy Eggplant with Chicken Floss (Must try!) Crispy on the outside, sweet, soft and juicy brinjal inside.

Crispy Fish Skin with Salted Egg Yolk

黄金炸鱼皮 / Crispy Fish Skin with Salted Egg Yolk (Must try!) Fish skin was super crispy and chippy. Salted egg yolk brings out a whole other dimension to the crispy skin. Sinful but it's worth the sin.

青花鱼军舰寿司/Ebiko Gunkan Sushi
加州寿司卷 /California Maki
烧汁三文鱼卷/Salmon Maki with BBQ Sauce

沙律/开胃菜 Salad / Appetisers

柚子酱凉拌海蜇 / Jellyfish with Pomelo Sauce - Refreshing and appetizing, but normal
凉拌木耳粉皮 / Broad Beans with Vermicelli and Black Fungus
芝麻酱疏菜沙啦 / Mixed Greens Salad with Sesame Sauce

汤类 Soup - We didn't order soup as we were scared that it might be too filling.
四宝海味羹 / Shredded Dried Seafood Bisque
酸辣海鲜汤 / Hot and Sour Bisque

精美小菜 Delicacies - Almost everything here is worth a try.
Spicy Curry Prawns

印尼咖喱虾 / Spicy Curry Prawns (Must Try) - The curry is more savory of coconut milk than spicy, fresh prawns.


叁岜青贻贝 / Sambal Mussels

叁岜青贻贝 / Sambal Mussels - The samba sauce wasn't too spicy. Mum liked it, I'm not really a shell fish person.

姜葱炒鱼片 / Fried Sliced Fish with Spring Onions and Ginger

姜葱炒鱼片 / Fried Sliced Fish with Spring Onions and Ginger (Must Try) Thick chucks of well cooked, tender fish meat!

麦片虾 / Deep-fried Prawns with Crispy Oats

麦片虾 / Deep-fried Prawns with Crispy Oats - Tasted like normal cereal prawns to me, maybe I was too full to savour it?

Honey Pork Ribs with Black Pepper Sauce

蜜椒排骨 / Honey Pork Ribs with Black Pepper Sauce (Must Try) - Big chunks of de-boned pork ribs.

Friend beef with onions

豉椒牛肉片 / Sautéed Sliced Beef with Black Bean Sauce (Must Try!) Really chewy and tender beefs slices, a bit salty to eat without rice though. But as you know, buffet is no place for rice.


葱油芥兰仔(配于小虾腌酱)  / Poached Baby ‘Kai Lan’ served with ‘Chinchalok’ Sauce - Fresh and green veggies for a balanced meal.

Spicy Chinese Tofu

麻婆玉子豆腐 / Braised Beancurd and Minced Pork with Spicy Sauce - Normal egg tofu taste, slightly special sauce but only a little bit spicy.

甘香鸡柳 / Sautéed Chicken with Chef's Spicy Sauce

- We were too full for chicken ><

点心 Dim Sum

Fried Beancurb prawns

鲜虾腐皮卷 / Fried Beancurd Skin Rolls with Shrimps (Must try) Beancurd shrimps never go wrong.

甜品 Desserts


Herbal Jelly and beancurb

Dining at Tung Lok

Kelvin made a special appearance (and paid for the meal) because it minimum four to dine hehe. The restaurant's setting is quite high end for the price - we paid only about $38 nett each . Remember to reserve before hand as their business is good. Highly recommended!
