This was my sister's selected restaurant for her bday dinner on a weekday. Total 6 0f us had the following dishes:Main:Chiu Chow marinated goose - the dish included tofu and kidney whilst there was a mountain of goose meat ... the texture of meat seemed a bit overdone, not too tenderOyster congee - Not too enough for 6 of us actually, yet the quality is good! The little oysters are fat! And the overall taste is nice!Wok-fried Chicken with crispy veggie - I think they were really using fresh chic
Total 6 0f us had the following dishes:
Main:
Chiu Chow marinated goose - the dish included tofu and kidney whilst there was a mountain of goose meat ... the texture of meat seemed a bit overdone, not too tender
Oyster congee - Not too enough for 6 of us actually, yet the quality is good! The little oysters are fat! And the overall taste is nice!
Wok-fried Chicken with crispy veggie - I think they were really using fresh chicken, not those artificial-made chicken balls with other minced meat, great. Though the dish got more chicken skins, haha, yet the flavor was good and the fried veggie was crispy!
Chiu Chow boiled cuttlefish - Even of high cholesterol, but the slice of cuttlefish was thick and big, hence the bite was not bad
Fried fish-looked taro - I personally disliked taro yet I was forced to eat one piece. Not bad, deep fried wrapped the taro and a thin slice of minced fish mix. Still acceptable for me. The crunchiness of the piece was undeniable.
Duck feet with 'hoi sum' pot - So-so. Normal thing you can have somehere. Every ingredient in the pot has been cooked long enough and the duck feet just fall away from the bones
'Dong Gwa' SoupExcellent, it was real simmered and I cant find oil on the soup. And it was really nice soup for summer. The ingredients were less-restaurant like, not oily. The 'gwa' was superb!
Deep-fried prawn and crab ballsToo full that I only had the crab ball. Not bad since it just served hot and crispy from the kitchen I believe.
Dessert:
Crispy taro with sprinkling sugar - Taro enemy so I did not eat any. Yet I saw my family did enjoy the dish and it was served very hot.
Yellow bean soup - Too sweet for me *I think I was too full already*
All those I had costed around $130 per head. And all the dishes were above standard. As the previous entry said, do not expect any gimmick and nice deco but authentic Chiu Chow dishes ... you know what, even foreigners explored the eatery!
