On 21 Oct 2023 @12.40pm Ah Yat Seafood Restaurant (Sims Way) delivered the Suckling Pig, Shark Fin & Seafood Set ($864 for 6 pax).
The Fried Sea Prawns with Spicy Sauce was stale, the prawns were unfresh, texture was mushy and slimy and emitted rancid aroma. The family felt unwell and nauseous after eating it.
We provided feedback to Miss Angie Sim (the restaurant coordinator), she denied the issues raised and offered a refund of $16 (which she stated as the cost of the prawns). We declined the offer as the amount was insignificant as compared to the total cost of the package. Instead we asked for the restaurant to do a replacement, which had no issues, a contradiction to Miss Sim’s claims.
Overall, it was a very unpleasant experience, and we will not be ordering from them again. Hope this experience serves as a caution for people looking to purchase from the restaurant.

Repeated visit for their BBQ dishes. Would usually order their leather jacket grilled fish and their stir fry Kai Lan.

Love that dried shrimps are added in the stir fry Kai Lan elevating that umami-ness.

Ordered their sambal sotong - excellent doneness; sotong not overly cooked, nice bite to it.

Love their chinchalok which compliments the sambal seafood.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Westlake and their Hor Fun is highly recommended. the noodles had just the right amount of chewiness, and the sauce was a blend of harmony that left my taste buds dancing with delight. Portion was generous, ingredients were large, ensuring a satisfying experience.

However there is room for further improvement with the service provided from the staff. Nevertheless, quality of food was tasteful and pleasant enough to warrant another visit in the near future.

Westlake is a old school 40+ year establishment located at the 2nd floor of a HDB flat located near Farrer Road MRT. This is an old HDB estate and the feel here is like I was transported back to the early 90s. The interior of the restaurant is also very old school with a sense of nostalgia that I may have came here for a meal once when I was still a kid.

The signature and most famous dish here, is the Kong Bak Bao. There are 2 types, the normal braised pork or the iberico pork. The sauce is the same, just that the Iberico is much more fatter and much more tender.

I had both before, and taste wise, it's equally good. The normal braised pork itself is already soft and tender. The Bao itself was also faintly sweet and just so compatible with the savouriness of the braised pork.

This is definitely the best Kong Bak Bao I ever had.

One of the best hor fun I had.

Wok Hei very evident in every bite.

A must have the next time I come here.

I’m not sure when the price increased and the quality of ingredients decreased. The ingredients are no longer fresh, and so not justify the price tag. Thankfully the soup still retains its umami-ness. I liked it that they offered dry hor fun which was tasty, although I was rather put off by the server who asked me if I wanted less hor fun (I did, but it’s rude to ask, isn’t it?).
