KTV and good food

We had a farewell dinner with 5 tables last night. It was a good and memorable one.

Service was only okay. The staffs were fierce, like they were totally UNHAPPY to work. Why complain when the whole restaurant seemed so EMPTY.

Food wise, all the food came piping hot and it was good (maybe cos the restaurant was empty and the cook made a hell of an effort?)

We had the $368+++ menu which included:
1) Cold Dish
- The centre prawn and salad was disappointing. But the others were fantastic. I loved the prawn thingy I ate (dun ask me what it was).
2) Sharkfin's soup with Dried Scallop and Pacific Abalone
- I didn't eat any abalone nor sharkfin's BUT the soup was just nice. Not salty or corn starch filled.
3) Roasted Pi Pa Duck
- One of the best dish as the duck came out nice and hot. Skin wasn't that crispy but it was good enough. The sauce wasn't that salty either
4) Steamed Garoupa
- Abit overcooked but overall fish was fresh and food was tasty
5) Deep Fried Vension Roll
- Did I eat that? I think it was changed to something like a roll with golden mushroom which was the best dish to me
6) Fried Cuttle fish with broccoli
- I dun eat cuttle fish but the broccoli was not too bad.
7) Fried Tiger Prawns
- Disappointing dish. The Prawn looked "dead" (Well, the prawns are dead technically) but it didn't look that appetising
8) Fried "mee suah"
- Most ate their mee suah. I didn't cos I was happily being entertained by the Karaoke and also moving to different tables. So I am presuming it wasn't that bad
9) Mango pudding
- Disappointing.

 
Must Tries: Roll with golden mushroom, cold dish

An Old signboard in Chinese food

I was first introduced to this place by my colleague who is crazy over their dim sum - close to Crystal Jade Takashimaya standard but cost less. Well, I tried their dim sum and must say that these little delights are worth trying and would not disappoint for the price range they offer.

A little digression here, so just 2 weeks ago I brought my family to this restaurant for a get-together dinner. We ordered :

1. Fried omelette with sharksfin
- really quite good. This dish is done really flavourful with wok-hei smell and nicely seasoned eggs. Butter lettuce is served as a salad wrapper to put in those delicious egg shreds and its saltwater condiments.

2. Sauteed squid with broccoli
- Another tasty dish. The chef has to be recommended for whipping up a beautiful seafood sauce and this dish goes very well with rice. The only complain here is that the squid is a tad too chewy and a bit on the rubbery side.

3. Fried mee sua (their house specialty)
- We were to full to actually savour this dish and had it take away "ta-pao". Was told that it taste good even on the next day served as taiwanese breakfast (eaten with white porridge)

4. Deep fried coffee pork spareribs
- This dish, while supposed to be their specialty dish, is a bit of a mixed reaction. The meat is handled superbly - crispy exterior and juicy meat interior with its meat well seasoned through. I feel the imperfection is on the choice of coffe-based sauce which gives a bit of the bitterness. Somehow I still prefer the universally tested sweet & sour pork.

5. Steam chicken with ham and vegetable
- I really don't know how to describe this dish here, but I can tell you quite distinctly to avoid it unless you really (and I mean REALLY) cannot find any other alternatives.

6. Sauteed cod fish ball with brocoli
=My favourite for the night. I would recommend you to try this dish
Service is quite prompt and courteous.

hungry peasants after an escapade….




28 June 2008 : the gang of peasants – JT, EW, RZ, GL and JC – decided to meet to get some sustenance after our morning escapade. I was very happy to be eating dim sum because I have been craving for dim sum for quite awhile. =o)

SLIDE SHOW

I really enjoyed myself and the food was reasonably good. The service staff were prompt at pouring more tea into our empty cups and serving the food to the table quickly.

I was filled with a great sense of well-being because I had satisfied my craving for dim sum….

noisy place, but good dim sums

I really like the dimsums here. I come here regularly for my dimsum fix. The dimsums are nice and priced reasonably too! Was there on New Year eve for lunch.

The Food - they have the usual suspects (harkow, phoenix claws, yam cake, etc) - no complaints really. But there are other unusual stuffs like mango with prawns coated with almond flakes (really yummy!), banana with prawns (i also like!) and my all time favourite is their lychee with yam. My friend always orders mulberry leaves with the 3 types of eggs (salted, normal egg and century egg!), unusual but delicious! I also like their roasted duck - really yummy! I so like their food!

Ambience - Noisy with running kids (mine included). The typical Chinese restaurants with tacky wedding dinner decorations. Nothing great, but good for big groups! Noisy, noisy, noisy!

Value - I always thought this place is rather reasonable. But my basis of comparison is Crystal Jade, so maybe I wouldn't be able to give a fair statement. We paid $150 for 6 adults, and our pants were bursting!!!

Service - OK lor... what do you expect from a noisy Chinese restaurant? But service is swift!

Dim Sum for lunch

Went there on a Saturday late Morning to try out their Dim Sum after being recommended by a friend. the place was not full when i arrived around 1130 but was beginning to pack up around lunch time. so it best to make a reservation before going down.

The food was nice. especially the Deep fried katafi w/asparagus & cheese the cheese was oozing out when i pick it up from the plate. there is also the Cheong fan n bbq pork. it was drizzled with soya sauce and not those thick source so the taste was just nice and not thick. Another dish that caught my eye was the fry yam balls with lychee the taste was very unqiue and worth a try.

Overall this place is worth going if you want to have dim sum for breakfast and lunch together as they open quite late at 1130. the service is good. But it a bit noisy when big family gather.
