We didn't know what to eat when we arrived at The Curve one Friday evening. Then we spotted Ah Tuan Ee's as we crossed over from IKANO Power Centre using the overhead bridge. Lazy to venture further, both of us decided to try this out.
Interior was done Peranakan style... but I reckon more towards Oriental style!
Pineapple fish @ RM20.80 - Fish slices topped with pineapple and sweet & sour sauce. Comfort dish but I thought that the fish slice was rather big . It would be perfect it was smaller :) the Pineapple provided a sweet note to the dish.
Perut Ikan @ RM16.80 - one of Penang's favourite! Concoction of 12 different vegetables & herbs, with prawns and fish maw, cooked to perfection as a spicy, sweetish, sourish, soupy and truly aromatic dish. Let me see how to put it... the gravy tasted just like asam laksa. From its outlook, it looked just like rojak sayur-sayuran but I have to say this.. not everyone appreciate perut ikan so it's more like an acquired taste!
Stir fried brinjal with sambal @ RM11.80 - a simple and flavourful dish but not memorable.
Fried sotong @ RM18.80 - fried squid rings coated with spicy flour & served with sweet chilly sauce. The squid rings were lightly battered with curry-like powder before deep fried, resulting in a delightful crunchy dish. Loved it to the bits! I cleaned almost 80% of the plate :P
Leo's verdict - Overall our dinner was satisfactory. The supervisor was very helpful in recommending the dishes to us even though I didn't ask for any. Dishes were served rather fast and cleaned up as fast too... LOL! Just remember to try the fried sotong ok?

should tapau fried sotong for watching football!
Laffs at Joe's comment. If I wanna eat Nonya food, I just call mom to let her know 1 week in advance. Eventhough she's not Nonya, her cooking style leans towards it. She balks whenever we order Jiu Hu Char outside.
Mmmm... all I remember from the last time I ate at Ah Tuan Ee is the sotong - yummy! :)
i remember the first time i ever tried perut ikan a few years back. was kinda disappointed cos i didn't expect it to be minced/chopped so much. in the end, we weren't sure which part was the perut ikan in the dish, cos it all seemed like sayur :D but all in all, i do like nyonya food, heheh...
I hv yet to find a good plc for Nyonya food.. ehh..wait.. i did tell u abt tis nyonya plc in atria right?
I've been there once and i like the glass noodles. It's actually quite expensive.
I'll remember the sotong if I eat here, hehe! Looks very crunchy!
joe - hahaha! u should... but u r staying in Sg. Besi wor :P
unkaleong - of course la.. if ur mom knows how to make this dish, she wouldn't want u to eat outside
J - same here :)
Sean - fortunately, I could taste some of the perut ikan. I agree that the trace of perut ikan seems little in the dish though
becky - no lah.. u didn't :(
eiling - hmmm.. maybe i can try that next time
pureglutton - try it, and u'll love it
miss mokhtar - thanks! will put a note in the end to state whether it's halal or not.. some places might not serve pork but I can't guarantee of the halal-ness
