A nice lunch is very important for me. It wakes me up and gives me energy for the rest of the day. Fang Fang was a nice place for me to relax and enjoy my lunch. Good vibes with friendly staffs.We started with this refreshing tofu salad with sesame dressing. The sesame dressing they used tasted like Japanese ones for just tofu salad, but this one here added more greens. It got me well prepared for the rest of the meal. Signature shrimp dumpling and truffle mushroom dumpling were just appetizing

Tofu Salad w/ sesame dressing

Signature Shrimp Dumpling & Truffle Mushroom Dumpling

We started with this refreshing tofu salad with sesame dressing. The sesame dressing they used tasted like Japanese ones for just tofu salad, but this one here added more greens. It got me well prepared for the rest of the meal. Signature shrimp dumpling and truffle mushroom dumpling were just appetizing.

Stir fried sweet & sour beef w/ rice crust

Prawns w/ salted egg sauce

Stir fried sweet and sour beef with rice crust and prawns with salted egg sauce were the main dishes my and I ordered. The beef was a bit chewy and the sauce was a bit too sour. On the other hand, the prawns were so tasty! Prawns were fresh, salted egg sauce was savory.

Lotus leaf mushroom rice

We both chose this moist mushroom rice wrapped with lotus leaf to go with the main. It's just much better than just rice, so soft.

Ginger crème brulee

Fried custard dumpling

Last but not least, we had ginger crème brulee and fried custard dumpling. Ginger added some Chinese elements to the taste, and it went really well with crème brulee. Just by the name of the custard dumpling, I never thought it would look that cute! It's a shape of carrot. It was made of carrot flavor custard, with a scope of vanilla ice-cream of the side. Delicious!~~

I managed to reserve a table for 3 about an hour ago before we arrived for lunch on a weekday. It was quite full so we only managed to take seats at the lounge area. At first I was worried that the table would be too low but it was actually ok and really much more quiet. Good for chatting!

There didn't seem to be much differences in the signature lunch set compared with our last visit a few months ago. Price remained the same at a cost of $198+10% per head.

Double Boiled Ginseng & Conch soup

All of us ordered the Double Boiled Ginseng & Conch soup as our starter. It was a good soup with indeed some ginseng and conch which were both of reasonable quality. Just to pick bones from an egg, some pork in the soup was too hard and rough.

Truffle Mushroom Dumpling & Signature Shrimp Dumpling

The dim sum was the same as last time and the quality was equally good, if not better! They were freshly steamed which were so hot when served. The wraps were both very thin with loads of ingredients. The truffle mushroom dumpling smelt so good of truffle with loads of mushrooms. The signature shrimp dumpling was so meaty with fresh shrimp ingredients. Delicious.

Tea & Oolong Tea

For some reason it took so long for our mains to arrive. After repeated following up, a server made us 2 complimentary teas to make up. I tried the first tea only, which I forgot the name or ingredients, but it was refreshing indeed and was just slightly sweet. Good!

Golden Amber Prawns with salted egg yolk & sugar walnut

Finally our mains arrived. This golden amber prawns with salted egg yolk and sugar walnut was ok taste-wise but the batter for the prawns was a bit too thick! They could have been much better. The sugar walnut (although not much) was yummy!

Fang Fang Soy Chicken in Chinese Rose Wine

This Fang Fang soy chicken in Chinese Rose Wine required an additional charge of $50+10% which was really good. It smelt so so good when served! It really lifted your expectation just by its look. And indeed the chicken was very well-seasoned with a slightly sweet and delicious sauce. It was highly recommended.

Curry Beef Brisket with potatoes & bell peppers

The curry beef brisket was good as well with tender beef briskets and delicious curry sauce. Even the potatoes were so delicious with crispy crust and soft interior. There were quite a lot of bell peppers and onions accompanying the beef briskets. To pick bones from an egg, there could have been more beef briskets and the curry sauce could have been thicker.

Lotus Leaf Mushroom Rice

We all chose this over the Jasmine rice. Last time, I recalled there was insufficient flavour or smell of lotus leaf and the rice was just like plain rice. But this time it seemed better with richer flavour of the lotus leaf. But again I found it a bit too plain still.

Sweetened Almond Cream

I chose sweetened almond cream as my dessert. It was a bit too diluted but still it was smooth and not overly sweet.

Fried Carrot Custard Dumpling

I didn't the fried carrot custard dumpling but it looked so cute that I couldn't help but take a picture! My lunch partner said that the fried carrot was actually something with black sesame stuffing and a crispy crust while there was a vanilla ice-cream served on the side. I would definitely have ordered this if I had known that it was made of these ingredients!

Overall, I think the quality of the food had improved even more, making it a even better deal given the price and location in Central. Just that service was a bit slow today maybe because they were really too busy. Would definitely come back from time to time and recommend it to my friends.

Comments on openrice looked so appealing that we decided to give it a try despite its relatively remote location in Central. It was not full at all despite that it was Friday lunch! The environment looked quite decent and seating was quite comfortable. The price of the lunch set of $198+10% was not expensive at all given that it was Central. As you read on, you would see that it was quite a good bargain given the quality of the food. We both ordered a lunch set each choosing different food items

The price of the lunch set of $198+10% was not expensive at all given that it was Central. As you read on, you would see that it was quite a good bargain given the quality of the food.

We both ordered a lunch set each choosing different food items to share as well as some side orders of dim sum.

Signature Shrimp Dumpling & Truffle Mushroom Dumpling

First of all, 2 dim sum were included in the lunch set.
They were freshly steamed. The shrimp dumpling was so big and delicious. The wrap was reasonably thin and it was so meaty!
The truffle mushroom dumpling had a really strong aroma of truffle, not just pleasing the eyes with the appealing black wrap. There were loads of ingredients.
Both were very good indeed.

We ordered the double boiled conch soup and smoked salmon salad as the starters.

Double Boiled Conch Soup

The soup was very clear and delicious. It was just a little bit too salty, which was actually hard to tell. The 竹笙 and 蟲草花 were very good.

Smoked Salmon Salad with Sesame Yuzu Soy

The veggies were fresh. The sesame yuzu soy was very tasty. The smoked salmon were a bit dry.

We ordered braised beef brisket with radish and aromatic duck with crepe as the mains.

Braised Beef Brisket with Radish

It was a pass but the portion was so small. Maybe it was better to order the udon with beef brisket.

Aromatic Duck with Crepe

Aromatic Duck with Crepe

The presentation was so nice but the duck was too thick cut and rough. It was really not as good as thought or as in others' comments on openrice. The sauce was good though, as it was the same as that for normal Peking Duck.

Lotus Leaf Mushroom Rice

We both chose this over the Jasmine rice. But there was insufficient flavour or smell of lotus leaf. The rice was just like plain rice. We were a bit disappointed. Still, we believed that it was better than plain rice with the mushrooms and dried scallops.

For desserts, we chose sweetened almond cream and ginger creme brulee.

Sweetened Almond Cream

I could tell from the texture that it was freshly ground. It was not overly sweet.

Ginger Creme Brulee

It was quite interesting that such a French dessert was offered in a Chinese set lunch. There was indeed some ginger flavour. But I found it a bit too sweet and it was not smooth enough.

In addition to the lunch set, we ordered some more dim sum.

Steamed Spinach and Shrimp Dumplings

They were freshly steamed too with reasonably thin wrap and fresh spinach and some shrimps inside.

They were freshly steamed again and were so big and meaty. However, I found the dumplings better, maybe because siu mai is just not my cup of tea.

Steamed Beef Balls

Freshly steamed again and they were so huge and meaty! Even me who don't really like beef balls found them pretty good. The sour soy went along really well with the beef balls!

We were told they were freshly made when served to us. But the wrap was too sticky and there was some weird taste of plastic. The mango was a bit sour too. They were no good.

Overall, I would say that the quality of the food was quite good given the price, especially most of the steamed dim sum. Service was pretty good as the server who served us always wore a smile on his face and introduced our food to us politely. They also tried to change our used plates frequently. Would definitely recommend this place for a nice business/casual lunch in Central.
