Hello Unregistered,

Allson Hotel, 101 Victoria Street, Tel: 6332-2288 Open: 11am to 3pm, 6 to 10.30pm

It’s not for nothing that Ah Yat is synonymous with abalone throughout Asia, from Singapore to Hong Kong to Beijing.

The restaurant takes its name from its owner, Hong Kong chef Yeung Koon Yat, whose recipe for cooking abalone is such a treasured secret that even his staff are not privy to it.

What is known is that the abalones are simmered with other ingredients like chicken for days in a claypot until the sauce turns into a thick, brown gravy of intense flavour.

It is this gravy that makes Ah Yat unbeatable. Other restaurants can’t seem to get the same concentrated flavour, perhaps because they just do not cook the same volume of abalones as Ah Yat.

As for the abalone itself, it stays flavourful with a firm texture that yields to the bite easily.

Ah Yat sells both dried as well as fresh ones. The dried version is more prized for its better flavour and firmer texture, and can cost as much as a few hundred dollars each.

The fresh ones are more affordable, with prices starting from $40 for its smallest South African abalone.

The most expensive 4 PPC (pieces per catty – which means it weighs a quarter of a catty) dried Amidori abalone from Japan is a whopping $1,680 each.
