I decided to come in here one Saturday tea time afternoon after hearing good reviews. When I came in, I was told by a lady to sit anywhere I please. There are two floors to this restaurant and I chose to sit on the ground floor, and coincidentally, I sat in front of the kitchen. I sat down and immediately noticed there is only 1 lady taking some 6-7 tables, including me. Seeing her like that, I patiently waited and once I was approached by her, I ordered stir fried noodles ($34) and add a cold t
After a few minutes, my drink arrived first. I must say it was warm. Not too warm, not room temperature but it was obviously warm. I had the stir the ice cubes into the drink to mesh them in, and finally the coldness surfaced. While waiting for my main meal, I noticed that their kitchen door kept opening back and forth with either the cleaning lady going in and out or the owner's kid helping the lone chef with delivering ingredients in. One chef with 6-7 tables to serve! And counting because diners were coming in. This happened on the weekend, not on a weekday but on a weekend. Either the other kitchen staff went to an early vacation or they really do just have only one (kitchen) staff
. No wonder my main dish arrived 30 minutes later. The other diners were patient by tinkering with their phones. When I think I saw my order, the chef immediately rang for the lady to come pick it up but for some reason, she never showed up. After a few minutes, the owner's kid saw it and at first couldn't find who the dish belonged to, and when he asked if I ordered it, I nodded in joy that the food is finally here. I also overheard him complaining to the lady that he couldn't find where the dish should go to because I wasn't given s receipt and I most certainly did have it.
Anyway, my main dish arrived . Stir-fried noodles with pork slices, imitation crab, add in pork floss and minced meat topped with a few spring chives and carrots. Sadly, the noodles tasted burnt. Not obviously in its appearance but it tasted like the burnt bottom of a wok. I was so hungry, I just scoffed it all down. Rest tasted bland. It really needs salt and pepper. The runny egg was the only one delicious for me really.
I will not go back to this place, not until the owner stops being so cheap in manpower. One floor staff. One cleaning lady. One chef. On a weekend. All for a two-floor establishment with so many tables and couches?
