AAA Seafood Restaurant

220 W. Garvey Ave.
Monterey Park, CA 91754
Tel: (626) 571-8898

Daily: 11AM-10PM

It claims "Most Authentic Chinese Cuisine in Town". Well, it probably rings true for Teo Chew person like me. My family always frequent this restaurant since it serves Teo Chew heritage food (deep fried shrimp cake, fried noodle and sticky yam).

Unlike ordinary shrimp cakes, these ones are fully covered in thin gelatin and deep fried, hence it is chewy and moist when bitten into. Pay attention to the temperature before you eat it and you wouldn't burn your tongue.

The deep fried shrimp cakes need to be ordered a day in advance since the cook likes to keep it fresh. It pays to call since the restaurant frequently hosts wedding parties.
