My boyfriend and I came here for a causal dinner. We ordered a set dinner for 2 with included: -2 cups of cream of mushroom soup with fake shark fins (we both added the puff pastry to it)-fried fish cutlet -thin crust pizza-egg and beef with rice (chosen from a list of 4)the total came up to $124The style of the restaurant is very similar to cafe de coral. You look at the menu posted on the wall, then you would order and pay at the cashier. The only difference is, the food is served to you after

The style of the restaurant is very similar to cafe de coral. You look at the menu posted on the wall, then you would order and pay at the cashier. The only difference is, the food is served to you after you find your own table. the fish was alright. It was hot and crispy, but it would be better if they had given us more mayo to dip. This was the best tasting dish out of our whole dinner. The crust was really thin and crispy, the toppings were evenly spread with the right amount, and the overall taste was great. The only bad part of it was that when this was served to us, it was only slightly warm. It seemed like it was made ahead of time, and had been sitting in the kitchen counter for a while before it was taken out. I was quite surprised that the crust was still crispy. This was by far the WORST egg and beef rice i ever had in my life!! Even after mixing the raw egg, the rice was still really dry. The beef was also dry and had no taste at all. The whole dish basically had no taste and was really dried. We ended up not being able to finish the dish due to its poor taste and quality. The soup was served last, which seemed really weird, but i guess it's because they had to wait for the baking of the puff pastry. We both thought that the soup was bad as it was really diluted and didn't have much taste. There were only a few tiny little slices of mushroom and a few strands of fake shark fin in the soup. i thought the puff pastry was OK, but my boyfriend thought that it wasn't buttery enough.
Overall, only the fish cutlet and the thin crust pizza tasted good (however the pizza was served slightly warm). The egg and beef with rice was definitely the worst i even had in my life. I don't think i'll ever come back to this restaurant again. i would rather go to cafe de coral for dinner than this, at least everything is served hot and the taste is guaranteed.
