Food review: Yu Ai
Tried it? Rate it!
This shop supposedly serves really good Seafood Tom Yum noodles (according to my trusty foodie guide), so one day, we decided to drive down to Segambut to try it out. Guess what? It was closed!! *pout* Well, I found out a few days later from my parents that the Segambut branch only opens for lunch, but there’s another one in SS2 that opens for dinner…so hubby and I dropped by one Monday after work to check it out. The shop is located at the row behind Chow Yang, and when we arrived, it was half-full. Or half-empty. Hmm. Anyways, we sat near the entrance because the shop was really really humid and hot.
We were presented with the very brief menu, which consisted of the three different soup choices we could have to go with the noodles (Tom Yum, Curry & Clear Soup), and a list of drinks. Hubby of course choose the Tom Yum soup, while yours truly, whose food order always comes with an additional ‘no-chilli-or-pepper-please’ reminder, went for the Clear Soup with mee hoon (vermicelli).
We didn’t have to wait long before two steaming hot and huge bowls of noodles were brought over to our table. Both were chocked-full with seafood…fish, mussels, huge prawns and squid. I eagerly dug in, and it tasted great! The clear soup isn’t very oily, very ching (light), and the fish and prawns were cooked just right (ie. the prawns were crunchy!!). I passed all my mussels and squid over to hubby though…=) Hubby said that his Tom Yum noodles were pretty good too. I managed to finish the whole bowl of noodles…no mean feat considering how much we were served and how small my tummy-capacity is…*grin*
