Step into the splendor of Pak Loh Chiu Chow Restaurant, Starhill Gallery which is the “Golden Sister” of the renowned Hong Kong same restaurant.
The striking red, gold and green colors are similar to the restaurant in Hong Kong. Stepping through the giant Chiu Chow style sauce pot, diners are welcomed by a cozy atmosphere amidst furniture especially brought in from China.
To dine here, I would recommend you to lay back and sip on their famous Ti Kuan Yin tea from small cups between courses to enjoy the meal better. Favorites include the Chiu Chow signature of cold flower crab, pan fried oyster omelette, braised goose fillet and wok-roasted pork. Pak Loh Chiu Chow is helmed by the acclaimed Chef Alex Au, who says “We have imported more ingredients and fresh produce now as the latest menu offers bigger variety of CHiu Chow dishes, for example goose, bombay duck fish and much more”.
Teochew cuisine is particularly well known for its seafood dishes and is often regarded as being a healthier alternative among other Chinese cuisine. Distinctive preparation and cooking methods are used to preserve the freshness and quality of the ingredient. Signature Teochew dishes are often prepared over a slow fire, stewed, steamed, stir-fried or pickled to perfection. This brings out the best in every Teochew dish without heavy flavourings.
