Dine At Home During Circuit Breaker - Ah Orh Seafood Restaurant

AhOrh1

Ah Orh Seafood Restaurant at Jalan Bukit Merah has been one of my favourite Teochew restaurants to go to whenever I am craving for some delicious Teochew cuisine. The family restaurant has been around for more than 60 years with the third generations helping out in the restaurant. With the current COVID-19 pandemic, it has been a challenging time for a lot of F&B. Especially for a traditional restaurant like Ah Orh Seafood, they have to adapt, moving to takeaway and delivery, allowing diners to dine at home during the circuit breaker measure period.

Braised Duck, Pork Belly and Tofu

Having visited the restaurants on many occasions, there are some signature dishes that I will always order. One of them is their Braised Duck, Pork Belly and Tofu platter. This is best enjoyed together with the chilli and white vinegar dipping sauce.

Fish Maw Soup

Unlike other fish maw soup which is either clear or starchy form, the Fish Maw Soup at Ah Orh Seafood has a grainy texture with chunky pieces of fish maw. Until today I am not sure what is added to get the grainy texture, but I suspect it is sesame.

Oyster Sauce Vegetable

The Oyster Sauce Vegetable may not be the prettiest dish, but what makes it a lovely dish is the addition of fried sole fish that elevated the whole enjoyment.

Oyster Omelette

Lastly is the fluffy Oyster Omelette with plump fresh oyster. I like how the restaurant packet the oyster separately from the egg omelette so that the sauce doesn't make the omelette soggy during delivery.

While I can't dine at Ah Orh Seafood Restaurant during the circuit breaker period, I am glad that I can still satisfy my craving for delicious Teochew food with its takeaway and delivery services. Besides the a la carte menu, the restaurant has also rolled out 3 dishes set menu at $45 and 4 dishes set menu at $55. Customers even get a 15% discount if they pick up the order themselves. It also offers island-wide delivery services at $10 delivery fee, free delivery for order above $80 or location within 3km of the restaurant.

Tiger Beer Singapore Launches 'Support Our Local F&B' Initiative

Support 7@3x

Many businesses have been hit badly by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. One of which is the F&B industry, which has seen as much as an 80% loss in revenue. The circuit breaker measures implemented by the Singapore government to tighten the fight against the pandemic, banning all customers from dining in, hurts the suffering industry even more. In a recent survey, 88% of restaurants indicated that they may not be able to survive COVID-19 pandemic without assistance.

The situation is very real. Our food culture and heritage is under threat and many F&B places may not weather the storm. You may not be able to visit your favourite F&B places or taste your favourite dishes when all this is over unless we take action today.

Support 1@3x

Standing in solidarity with the local F&B community, Tiger Beer Singapore has launched the 'Support Our Local F&B’ initiative as part of the #SupportOurStreets campaign. And to kick it off, Tiger Beer Singapore has contributed $100,000 to the fund.

The initiative will run from now till 31 May 2020 and you can support your local F&B businesses by making a $10 contribution to the fund at https://supportourfnb.tigerbeer.com.sg. There is no limit to the number of times you can make a contribution. Each week, the contributions are collated, and all proceeds will go directly to the F&B community. As a gesture of appreciation from Tiger Beer Singapore, each contribution will entitle you to a digital drink voucher redeemable for two Tiger beers when the outlets resume operations to encourage footfall and support the outlets’ restart and revival.

Support 4@3x

Through the ‘Support Our Local F&B' initiative, Tiger aims to raise an additional $300,000 in contributions from Singaporeans, which will go directly to more than 450 participating F&B outlets with more joining in the weeks to come. In preparation to support the industry’s recovery, Tiger is also planning a care package to be rolled out when F&B partners restart their businesses again.
