Uncle Prawn, Sunway Giza

Uncle Prawn

Nestled in the heart of booming township in Kota Damansara is Sunway Giza which has slowly wooed many dining outlets and not forgetting, half of the populations in Damansara. Uncle Prawn recently opened its door since July and I had the chance to patronize this new dining outlet when I was home for winter break. I stumbled upon this place when I was scouting for a new dining outlet as we had a generous friend to buy us a meal. The limited review nearly held me back but instead, I embraced myself to try new place.

Fried Bacon
Crispy Pork Belly in Sweet Sauce – RM12

We kickstarted the dinner with crispy pork belly in sweet sauce. The strips of pork belly deep fried and heavily coated with honey was addictive albeit the texture was a tad tough. No charbo is needed, beer would be perfect!

Stir Fried Broccoli

Spinach Beancurd
Homemade Spinach Tofu with Minced Meat

The homemade beancurd with a topping of abundance minced meat was mediocre in my humble opinion.

Braised Pork with mantou
Sweetened Braised Pork Ribs with Mantao – RM22.80

Braised Pork Ribs or tung por yook is a delight to those who likes to gratify in sinful fats. And I loved the fact that most of the time mantao and braised pork both complement very well.

Sweet and spicy fish

I was never a fan of fish. Never EXCEPT cod fish. Pardon me as I couldn't recall the name of the fish so perhaps I need to consume more fish in order to remember every fish names. By the way, how does talapia look like?

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon - RM118

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon has got crab sitting on top of the kingdom, prawns, mussels, frogs, minced meat and konyaku bathing in rich and thick curry. The curry based soup was nevertheless sweet due natural sweetness from all the seafood and dig deeper you'll find the hidden minced meat which added more flavour to the curry soup. Priced at RM118, this massive pot could easily feed more than four person but I reckon I could finish all by myself.

Dessert
Lemongrass Jelly – RM4.50; Gui Ling Gao – RM4.50

Did I mention earlier than I'm a fan of jello? A dinner accompanied by jelly is a mandatory! However I would expect more choices rather than being restricted to 2 choices only.

The dinner was absolutely great, and indeed it was, courtesy of Bobby Teh! Its contemporary and upscale decor lights up the convivial ambiance but the service was a letdown. It was a tad hard to get attention mainly due to inexperienced workers but I do hope they had improved their services (since this visit was months ago).

Prawns are definitely what Uncle Prawn is all about. Uncle Prawn, when pronounced in Cantonese "dai tao har", the significant prawn name which means absent minded. Oh wait, did you notice that we patronized Uncle Prawn without ordering prawn? And yea, you nailed it! So don't be "dai tao har" like us, be sure to order prawn on your next visit!
