No. I didn't enjoy this dish - mainly because my helper at home makes a better lotus patty. This one was too large, too pasty (lots of flour in the middle I would think), flavorless (I had to drench it in vinegar which came with it). Although it was deep fried, it was not crisp, and the interior was extremely oily. Extremely. I prefer a lotus patty that is flatter, crisper on the outside, and with more crunch in the middle.
Veg in broth - kai lan
Really nice, this one. The veg was fresh, sweet and the stalks (essence of kai lan) were tender. It was cooked with lily bulb and goji berries which supposedly are quite good for you. I think I finished half of this dish. Mixed grain healthy rice
Nice hot bowl of healthy rice to go with the bbq pork mm. Nothin too special here - but somehow you feel healthier after eating it hah. Steamed pandan buns
This was a delightful end to dinner. The bun was soft, very soft, fragrant, steaming hot, and enticingly green. I mean have you ever seen a bun that green!
And the pandan paste inside? DELISH. It was moderately sweet, piping hot, and very pandan. For pandan lovers - this is a must-try. Cashew paste (made to order)
Again, a winner. Some cashew pastes can be really watery and too sweet. This one hit the right spot in every aspect. It was freshly ground, hot, deliciously thick and fragrant. Most importantly - it was natural, and wasn't sweetened to a point beyond recognition. Recommended!! Better than those you get at chinese dessert soup chainstores...Conclusion:
Probably won't return for some time because it is quite out of the way, and dad is bound to complain. But, please come for lunch (they have pretty economical lunch sets) and the dessert. Mmm.
