I have been here a few times before and the food was OK, not great but with what was there it was passable and this time I came in for dinner and the place was half full but staff seemed rushed -not a good sign Ordered a plate of roast goose rice ($33), a set dinner of steamed pomfret with rice and soup ($47) and half a salt baked chicken ($50). The first 2 were good, nothing fanciful just delivered as it said on the menu. The salt baked chicken was a disappointing. I've had this at the PE
Ordered a plate of roast goose rice ($33), a set dinner of steamed pomfret with rice and soup ($47) and half a salt baked chicken ($50).
The first 2 were good, nothing fanciful just delivered as it said on the menu. The salt baked chicken was a disappointing. I've had this at the PE branch before and was expecting the same. Instead what arrived turned out to be chicken poached in brine, and if it had been cooked through, it would have softened the blow. The leg was just barely cooked and the bones were still bloody.
I guess the chicken had been cooked in the morning or afternoon, hung and reheated when ordered. It tasted nothing like this classic dish when executed properly and truth be told was insulting. Given that this is a 烤 味 restaurant and that if they messed up steaming the fish or overcooked the vegetables, perhaps I could be more forgiving, but the salt baked chicken is part of the chef/masters skill set. Just a little too many short cuts and if they choose to go that route then it should be taken off the menu.Post
