We actually went to this place because a friend of a friend decided it’s a good place to eat. Since I've never been to any of the outlet before, so here we go. The waiting time was not too long, since we reach there around 8.
We ordered (For 5 hungry people)
1. Herbal Roast Duck
2. Fragrant Nestum Prawn
3. Mongolian Spare Ribs
4. Deep Fried Kai-Lan with Meat Floss
5. Sesame Deep Fried Chicken x 2 (I explain later)
6. Buddha Jump Over the Wall (for 1)
7. Winter Melon Soup (for 3)
8. Soup of the day, boil spare ribs & vegs (for 1)
Note: We ordered all Medium size, except for the soup, that only got 1 size.
Anyway, if you are a roast duck fans, you won’t be disappointed. Its fragrant, got crispy skin, tender meat and glaze with the herbal sauce. If they have the pancake like Beijing Roast Duck, you might mistaken this for Beijing Roast Duck. I give it 9 out of 10.
The Fried Kai-Lan with meat floss is something unique. They only use the stalk of the Kai-Lan, stir-fry it and top it up with meat floss and black fungus.
The nestum prawn, spare ribs and sesame fried chicken are good but nothing to special to write about. No comment on the Buddha Jump Over the Wall since it was not me who ordered it :( The winter melon soup is nice and tasty, since it’s boiled with dried scallops.
Service:
The staff are friendly and attentive. However, I personally feels that the staff are over friendly and over attentive that you don't have the privacy when you are eating. I think that the staff still need to find the balance on the service part.
The staff ask if we have UOB card since we order the deep fried sesame chicken, we said no at first, but inform her immediately after we realise that one of us have UOB card. However she said, the order has been put in the computer, and can't be change. So we end up with 2 plate of Deep fried sesame chicken.
To their credit, we wanted to order the winter melon soup at first, but it was all out. Subsequently, she found out that new batch of soup is ready, so she check with us if we want to order the soup and so we did.
