This Chinese restaurant focuses on abalone dishes, but also displays live lobsters, prawns, and fish of many varieties in florescent-lit tanks. The menu will thrill abalone lovers as this is no simple chili crab joint. The Angsio Shark’s Fin with Abalone, and Angsio with Abalone sauce proved to be satisfying starters, while the GeoDuck in Steamboat or Sashimi (highly recommended by the Chef) were equally flavorful. Be sure to ask for the chef’s seasonal recommendations that showcase more creative items, such as the Deep-fried Alaskan Crabs (steamed with Chinese wine and white egg) that move away from regular Chinese restaurant fare.
The daily Ah Yat Style Seafood Set Lunch is an extremely good value for your money. Pick one of their deluxe dishes such as the Crispy Soft Shell Crab with Floss or Crabs in Salty Eggs that can be ordered by request. Their modest selection of wines originates from Australia, Chile, Canada, and Korea. Chinese Rice Wine, appropriately served warm to compliment the fine cuisine, is also available upon request, including Shao Xing Hua Tiao Chiew in bottles. Besides Ah Yat Abalone, you can also visit Ah Yat Ballroom at the Golden Boutique Hotel, Lobby level, Jl. Angkasa No. 1, Jakarta.
