Chose to dine at this Chinese restaurant with laudable cuisine with a friend who returned from overseas and yearned for decent Chinese food. The food, as past visits confirmed, did not disappoint. The meat buns were tender and warm. The mixed vegetables in soup was the most mundane of all dishes but still the very soft taro stood witness to the time put into its preparation. The remarkable cod in sweet and sour sauce on rice crackers won uniform accolade - the cod was rich and was not overshado
Chose to dine at this Chinese restaurant with laudable cuisine with a friend who returned from overseas and yearned for decent Chinese food.
The food, as past visits confirmed, did not disappoint. The meat buns were tender and warm. The mixed vegetables in soup was the most mundane of all dishes but still the very soft taro stood witness to the time put into its preparation. The remarkable cod in sweet and sour sauce on rice crackers won uniform accolade - the cod was rich and was not overshadowed by the sauce, the crispy rice cracker was an innovative match. The salted fish and pork was most traditional and white rice to go with it was a must; the pork was well marinated and it was getting harder to find salted or preserved fish of such quality nowadays. The roast sesame chicken was slightly tough - perhaps parts other than the breast would be better - but the guilty crunchy skin dotted with sesame was sinfully tasty. The glutinous rice with shrimp fat streaming through it remained amazing, the richness and the aroma of the shrimps brought out by steaming these against glutinous rice was overpowering. My dining companions opted for Chinese desserts and the almond tea was creamy with shreds of egg white inside. The double milk custard was also good.
Now the food was magnificent, and at a price of $184 per head this should have been wonderful value for money. Just bear in mind that there was practically no service, and the little provided was abhorrent to say the least. The waitress absentmindedly handed us the menus without ensuring we had a firm hold, which resulted in the menus crashing onto bowls and plates. When we asked for the bills, they took ten minutes to arrive and staff needed reminders to confirm the headcount (for the additional charges like "tea and mustard"). So if you could withstand the service in return for the food, this would be a great choice.
