Chuan Gong Guan occupies a corner shop lot and is easily visible when you drive along Jalan
Beserah in Kuantan. I was drawn to this place as I was told that it serves the
best Sze Chuan food in Kuantan.
We
arrive at 7 pm and all tables except for
one was occupied. The tables were made of marbles and everyone sat on round
marble stools.
We
ordered 7 dishes and asked for them to
be of the tiniest portion as we wanted to try as many dishes as we could, yet
not put anything to waste.
五香牛肉 (RM15) – five spice
beef. This is a dry dish. Each piece of beef was tender and flavourful. I love
the fact that every piece was well seasoned.
松仁玉米 (RM 15) Pine nut
kernel with corn. I’ve always labelled this dish as a kiddie meal, but since
pine nut kernel contains lots of mono unsaturated fatty acids (helps to reduce
cholesterol), I just had to order this dish when I browsed through the menu.
口水鸡 (RM18) mouth
watering chicken – chicken with spicy sauce. The red hot sauce really
invigorated my senses and I just couldn’t bear to see the gravy go to waste. So
I ordered an extra bowl of rice to polish up the gravy.
烧白 (RM22) – literally
translated as braised white is a dish of braised pork with some mui choy at the
bottom. If you are thinking of the local version of this dish then you will be
pleasantly surprised as this dish is filled with lots of dried chillies at the
bottom. That’s what I call adding some spice into our food, literally!
菊花鱼 (RM33) chrysanthemum fish – with such an exotic
name, it’s no wonder that this dish was a feast for the eyes. The fish is
deboned and cut into strips and then folded in such a way that each piece resembles
a flower. This is a sweet sauce dish and was very appetising.
蒜茸菜心 (RM8) – stirred fried choy sam with garlic.
干煸 四季豆 (RM8) – fried French beans. The French
beans were initially deep fried and then cooked with some dried chillies.
