Deep-Fried Pomfret @ Airy Cafe

Someone said there was a new eatery at Boulevard Commercial Centre. Was there? Hmn .... but anyway, we didn't find it and ended up at Airy Cafe.

What was really delicious about today's dinner was the fish.

Deep-fried Pomfret with Ginger and Shallots
The fish was deep-fried till a crispy perfection. The marinade was rather light, but tasty ... and I could appreciate the sweetness of the fish. The aromatics, of course, enhanced the whole dish. I really loved the fish a lot. 

Drunken Chicken in Claypot 
When the claypot came to the table, it was not bubbling at all. It just meant that they did not let it boil long enough. We sent it back to the kitchen so that they would boil it over again. This dish was unnaturally sweet and the red rice wine used was not fragrant at all. We both did not like it. Nonetheless, the ginger and wine warmed me up on such a cold, cold evening ....  I'd been feeling cold for the whole day! 

Kerabu Midin
The vegetables were fresh and crunchy, but the sauce was on the sour side. I also felt that it could be more fragrant. There sure was room to improve the flavour. 

Airy Cafe also served a fruit platter after the meal. That evening, we had watermelon and cucumber to complete our meal.
