Everyone knows this place. It's famous for serving spicy crab. Tourists flock to this place. But did you know this place serves lunches that only cost $48?If you want the $48 lunch deals, let them know. Otherwise, they send you off to a nicer section of the restaurant where you will be surrounded by tourists eating crab in the afternoon.Once boyfriend and I requested the lunch sets, the waitress moved us to another area of the restaurant. Yes, mainly the door where there is lack of air condition

Once boyfriend and I requested the lunch sets, the waitress moved us to another area of the restaurant. Yes, mainly the door where there is lack of air conditioning. The menu is then in a one page laminated paper. It's also all in Chinese. There is no English. Yes, not for the tourists. Basically, for $48, you get a bowl of rice and a Cantonese main such as sweet and sour pork, a soft drink or Chinese soup of the day. There is no 10% service charge and no tea charge. They only add $5 if you want coffee or ice lemon tea. That, people, is cheap.
Soup of the Day. Yeah, this was soup of the day. It came exactly like this. Hmm...service seemed a bit different once you weren't ordering crab. Anyways, I don't know what kind of soup it was but it tasted and looked like curry beef brisket. There was chunks of beef brisket and sweet carrots. It was thick and yes ... I kind of needed a bowl of rice right about then. It wasn't bad. It was just very very strange.
Sweet and Sour Pork. This was pretty good. It was not too sweet and not too tart. Right balance of flavor. The pork was not overly coated with flour like so many places now a days. Pork was also moist. What was amazing was the pineapple used was not canned but fresh pineapple chunks. Why do I think this? Some of the chunks still had the tough centers in them and ther were not removed properly yet.
Chicken with Scallions and Chilli. A very simple dish that I like. Chicken was moist and tender and not undercooked. The scallions and chilli gave the chicken a rich fragrant taste. All was drizzled with a bit of soy sauce. Simple yet perfect.
Aside from the messy beginning, the food was actually good in a very tradtional sense. The food was back to the basics. Nothing fancy. Just good, honest meals. Value for money at lunch especially in an area when eating out for lunch can get a bit expensive.
