阿宝 BBQ Seafood

Chiak Bah Boh?

Who blogs on Friday nites anyway? I doing this specially for someone so that her Mother doesn't need to cook dinner on her own birthday. Happy Birthday Auntie - even though having Char Siew should have be the better option...

My friend once mentioned to me that Bukit Timah Food Centre has the best BBQ Stingray on this planet. I didn't believe it then and when he brought me there I also didn;t believed him even though he claimed that the cook was having an off day. Nothing spectacular.

I never tried it ever since.

For some unkown reason, I had to treat my wife to something special for dinner and unfortunately ran out of places to eat. So I thought - why not since we are in the area. We ordered the previously "nothing spectacular" bbq stingray not expecting any exceptional suprises.

$%$$#%^^&^%* The stingray is fresh but what makes it really outstanding is the sambal chilli. The sambal chilli had a distinct black pepper taste which is seldom found elsewhere and this gives it the edge over others because it gave it an extra facet of flavour. The bbq stingray also was not oily, slightly crispy on the outside but not over done. Perfect!

Perhaps the cook really had an off day on that fateful night 5 years ago...
