For expats who can't read Chinese, some places are just waiting to be discovered on Open Rice,
if it had not been for 史馬田's photo I would never have stepped in this totally Chinese place.

There WAS NO ENGLISH WHATSOEVER!

These days, it is so convenient having a smartphone with OpenRice and showing the waitors the pictures of exactly what you want instead of trying to find it on a foreign menu.

Anyway, I had to dine here TWICE!!!!

I purposely came here for the fried salt and pepper whitebait, and the bloodcurds with chives because they looked really delicious on 史馬田's photos.

On my first visit I ordered the bloodcurds and fried whitebait, but to my dissappointment, they got the order wrong and cooked whitebait omelette.

I was soooooooooooooooooooooo dissappointed because I had come all the way for the deep fried version!
But anyway, I couldnt be bothered to tell them they had got it wrong, so decided to come here again.

On my second visit, I got what I wanted and ordered curry beef belly and tendons that were freshly done.

Whitebait omlette:
Although it was not what I wanted, it was a big flat round omelette with lots of whitebait in it.
The whitebait served at this shop are huge which are visible on the omelette!
The whitebait was moist and soft.
There was fish sauce to too but I felt it tasted OK without.

Fried salt and pepper whitebait:
The coating was amazingly light and thin!
It tastes like cornstarch coating rather than batter.
The coating is so light that after it is cooked, you can still see how white the fish is.
It has been fried with skill because each whitebait is separate and they are not stuck to each other.
The fish inside was soft whilst the outside was crunchy and it was not overfried.
The oil was fresh which did not ruin the delicate taste.
I really liked this dish because it is similar to the fried whitebaits in spain and just fried fish in UK.
If I had a piece of lemon and some chips that would make my day!

Pork blood white chives:
I ordered this because the pictures of it looked great from the reviews.
It had crushed garlic, chili and chives.
It had a slightly oily film on top, but nevertheless, it tasted great, fully flavoured from the outside to the inside of the bloodcurd.
Slightly too much MSG, but it did taste nice.
The chives were tough and dehydrated though.

Curry beef tendon and belly:
I was quite surprised for a place like this the curry was garnished with thinly sliced green peppers and onions.
I felt that this curry was a mix of curry and braised beef tendons and belly because the sauce was like gravy with a hint of curry, but it was really nice and went well with the fried white bait.

cheese n butter squid?
Not sure what this, but it looks interesting, hope someone would order it in future.
I wanted to ask them what it was, but when you ask waitors what dishes are, they simple re-read the name of the dish, or say the obvious ingredients from the name of the dish which is so helpful, NOT!
