Located next to Evergreen Laurel Hotel on Gurney Drive, it's hard to miss Corner Club, a bungalow with a large parking space in front. Since we were doing the whole food-trip repertoire, we took dad along to this restaurant for breakfast.
The prices for the dim sum dishes at Corner Club varies from RM2.20, RM2.50, RM3.00, RM3.50, RM4.50, RM5.50 to RM6.00. Pretty affordable for an air-conditioned "yum cha" restaurant, methinks.
Dad's favourite pau is the nam yee pau, with a fat slab of pork belly inside. So we ordered a basket of it. Having tasted it, dad maintained that Balik Pulau still has the best nam yee pau on the island.
Lor mai kai, they were generous with the meat and Chinese sausage.
This was one of my favourites. Deep fried large, springy prawns wrapped in crispy beancurd skin. Superb!
Fired radish cake with lots of eggs and pickled vegetables. Good!
Yam basket prawn salad. Dad and hubby feasted on this, since I fancy neither yam nor mayonnaise.
Hubby had the Hong Kong chee cheong fun with big prawns wrapped within, topped with a dollop of dried shrimp sambal and deep fried shallots.
Steamed pork ribs, very tasty and not overcooked.
Har kow (prawns dumplings), very good, this. The skin did not fall apart upon contact and the prawns were yummy.
Prawn siew mai, excellent! As you can see, I have a prawn fetish.
