| Crispy Cereal Prawn Large serving (6 pieces) - 595 |
I am waiting for the fast food delivery person for my lunch. At past 2PM. So you can imagine the state of starvation I am in. And the worst part about it is that I am flipping through the photos of my recent Boon Tong Kee dinner in my computer. Torture, I know.

I have been asked what I liked most from that spread. I say the Cereal Crispy Prawn. By a mile. The flavor of that dish is as unusual as its appearance. Normally, when I come across a dish that I have seen for the very first time, I will have some sort of an idea on how it could have been cooked. But this Cereal Crispy Prawn, looking at it, I cannot make heads or tails- pardon the pun- of how it was made, and how the cereal played a part in it. Nevertheless, I found it delicious. Unlike shrimp tempura, where I feel dependent on dipping sauce to complete the dish, I did not miss any form of additional seasoning for this Cereal Crispy Prawn.

But that is not to say that I was not happy about the rest of that meal either, because I did eat more than my usual ration that night (against my better judgment), from the appetizer to dessert. I liked the Crispy Roast Chicken for instance, which is one of Boon Tong Kee's signature dishes, particularly its skin, so flavorful and crispy. I must confess I like this better than the boiled version in general, for the same reason.
The French Beans with Spicy XO Sauce, which I felt was our token healthy food option because it's vegetable, was surprisingly good, too. Oh, and those morsels of Crispy Beancurd, which I find antithetical in that they are crispy yet pillow-soft, healthy yet deep-fried, were actually quite addicting.
Yes, I just used the word "antithetical" to describe food. I tend to over-think things when I am hungry.
