Fusion Gone Wrong - House of Udang Galah

 The name sounds really high end and so is the venue.
Unfortunately, the food is not great.
To be direct, it's lousy :-(
Foodie has decided to check this place out, since there has been much mentioned of it.
If you are travelling on your own and would like to come here for dinner, please be careful, it is pretty dark and quiet and may not be that safe at dawn.
Right, let's get back to the food ...
 we got the set meal ... and you would imagine for the grandeur of it's name everything would be featuring the tiger prawns ie udang galah ... nope ...
it is mainly Chinese dishes ... Chinese dishes and more Chinese dishes ... 
 a very typical 4 season platter err.. look closely ... siu mai ???
 half filled bowl of soup which is half cooled as well cause they were short of waiters ...
never mind ...
 here's where the fusion food starts going wrong ...
look closely, yes, nice fresh garoupa ... steamed with 'kei chi' and 'dong gui' ???
nothing beats a simply steamed fresh garoupa I stress ... just simply steam it - timing is the key.
So this fish tasted funny, not to mentioned it was over done ... what a waste ...
 more Chinese dishes ... over cooked chicken
portions are very large but not very tasty ...

 then comes the Udang Galah ... steamed Thai style ... plenty of sugar ... a lot of lime and chilli ...
why ??? masking of the unfreshness of the prawns ...
sorry folks ... this is a major let down ...
the long awaited udang galah ... the dish of the day ...
is a major major major disappointed :-(

 we end with the 'sugar fried noodles' ...
super sweet
once again huge portion but ...


 Nice seating area upstairs and downstairs ...
Ah ... one more thing before we end ...
Mr Skinny manager was not a good combi to the fusion gone wrong ...
no smile, service is never pleasant with a grouchy manager ...
 Therefore, this place has been rated a NO GO by Foodie's standards
Sorry guys ... the food is just all wrong ...
