Been here several times this year and came here but still haven't sampled all their dishes.Tried the following:1. Yin Yang fried rice ($68) Generous portion. Consistency of both sauces are just right, not too thick nor thin. Chicken strips used are dark meat, with skin intact, quite tender but you can tell it's the previously frozen kind. Fried rice base is stir-fried with good "wok hay" (right heat and techniques) and not too oily. The medium grain jasmine rice fluffs (does not stick together)
Tried the following:
1. Yin Yang fried rice ($68) Generous portion. Consistency of both sauces are just right, not too thick nor thin.

Fried rice base is stir-fried with good "wok hay" (right heat and techniques) and not too oily. The medium grain jasmine rice fluffs (does not stick together) with each bite.
2. Fish head in claypot ($58) Fish was fresh, topped with lots of spring onions, a few cloves of fried garlic and ginger. Sizzles and has a nice sauce that I like with plain jasmine rice. Lots of fish cheek meat for collagen!
3. Honey pork chops with pineapple ($50)
A nice sauce that is sweeter than your usual sweet and sour pork, with onions, tomatoes and pineapples. Pork is tenderized well, soft but still delivers a solid bite.
4. Steamed pork with salted egg ($48)
The only disappointing dish of the evening, as I found it a bit too greasy. But the soy-based sauce it was served with is excellent and has a slight sweetness that brings out the fresh, natural meat flavor.
Dessert soup of the day (complimentary) was Cha-cha, the Taiwanese sweet soup with adzuki beans, peanuts, small sago pearls, black-eyed beans and kidney beans. The soup base has a faint coconut flavor, I wonder if there was in fact coconut milk/cream in it.
I recommend all the above, and some personal favorites which I've had several times:
satay beef with enoki mushroom in claypot, which uses thinly sliced marbled beef and has a rich satay sauce and lots of vermicelli;
shrimp with egg white a generous amount of shrimps that is quickly fried ("jau yau", literally "run oil" method), a treat for the health conscious.
Their "Ah Mah chicken", supposedly a signature, is overrated. I've had it twice and while it's not bad, I don't think it's notably good.
Will come back again soon for sure! Always a good meal, quick service, and more than reasonable prices - for all the food we ordered plus a bowl of plain rice and a bottle of beer the bill came to only $280.
