Thought I'd pick a chinese restaurant for lunch to celebrate mid-autumn with my colleagues, and King's Taste came into my mind. I always passed by this restaurant when I take the escalator up to Soho but never had the chance to try.We ordered 3 lunch sets and 2 noodles from the a-la-carte to share amongst 6 people, and it was definitely more than enough.

We ordered 3 lunch sets and 2 noodles from the a-la-carte to share amongst 6 people, and it was definitely more than enough. The lunch sets came in 3 appetizers, 1 xiao long bao, a main and a rice / noodle. The flat rice noodle totally soaked up the spiciness and rich flavor of the water braised beef, making this dish my favorite. The slow-cooked pork belly was very soft, tender and juicy, and you really gotta eat it along with the skin and fat layer which brings out the different layers of flavor of the dish. Xiao long bao was a must-try too. The skin was thin yet thick enough to hold up the soup inside, and the minced pork remained juicy and rich in flavor. *nom nom
Having mentioned all the fatty and oily and calorie-loaded yummy dishes, we did, order a vegetable dish too. I just didn't expect it to be served this way...
Another pork dish ordered separately came as a cold appetizer - pork belly with sesame dressing. The texture remained chewy and went well with the sauce.
The two noodles came last. Both were classic Shanghainese / Sichuanese dishes, which I did make sure to request for less oil for these tend to be stir-fried with generous amount of oil. Both of them were cooked to al dente.
Dessert came as a slight disappointment though, or perhaps we were all just too full by that time already. Physically wasn't attractive, but at least the sweetness of red date paste was balanced right.
Overall the food served in this restaurant was good and seemed authentic. The lunch sets were good options if you wanted to have a taste of the different Chinese dishes. I heard that the peking duck wrap here was good too - might come again for dinner next time.-pearlorange
