Came here for dinner with boyfriend as we were wondering what to eat on a Sunday night. We came across this place and weren't really sure what it was. The place was packed with larger groups of people but we could still get a table rather quickly even though there was only two of us.Sitting down, we realized this place served very basic Cantonese dishes that are more popularly found in dai pai dongs. Menu is in English and Chinese however they have set options for two, four or eight people along
Sitting down, we realized this place served very basic Cantonese dishes that are more popularly found in dai pai dongs. Menu is in English and Chinese however they have set options for two, four or eight people along with promotional items that are only in Chinese. The restaurant was clean and tidy. Service was your typical dai pai dong style. Rushed and to the point.
We weren't sure what to order so we chose a two people set that included the daily soup, half of their signature roast chicken, a choice of main under $88 (anything more you just add the diffference), fried rice and dessert for $308.
Daily Soup. When the soup came, it was huge. And I mean HUGE. I think boyfriend and I drank at least 3 bowls of this and there was still more soup! For a two people set, I didn't expect it to be that big! The soup was pretty sweet as Chinese soups are. I think it was a pork, dried bok choy and carrot soup. A very typical Chinese soup.
Honey Coated Pork Belly. This was over $88 and was actually $98 so we added an extra $10. The pork belly was lightly coated with stringy honey sauce but boyfriend said he's had it elsewhere and said the sauce wasn't coated on enough. I thought it was ok because if too much coating, it would be one glumpy goo. The pork belly was dry despite the amount of fat on it. Strange.
Signature Roast Chicken with Olives. The chiciken was very moist. However, unless you eat the skin, the meat had no actual flavor. All the flavor was in the skin and the oil that was laid out on the plate. As I really didn't eat the skin nor dragged my chicken in the oil, it was just regular chicken meat to me.
Fried Rice. The fried rice was pretty good. It wasn't oily. It wasn't overly salty and had the right amount of seasoning. There were some cucumber slices to give it a bit of freshness and crunch.
Daily Dessert. The daily dessert was red bean and black glutinous rice dessert soup. It was alright and not too sweet. Nothing really spectacular about it but it was the dessert of the day.
A fairly clean place to eat with large portions. This two people set was enough for at least another person. We couldn't finish it at all and took the leftovers home. A good place to eat with a large group as it really is value for money. Food was ok but not great, but price made up for it.
