I decided to book this restaurant for a family dinner. It was quite a pleasant experience.We ordered the papaya soup. This was recommended by the waiter. It has assorted vegetables, bamboo shoots and pork inside the papaya. This feels like a winter melon soup but a bit sweeter (no doubt due to the Hawaiian(?) papaya). Good choice. We also ordered the char siu as recommended by fellow “open-ricers”. It’s good. If compared with the char siu in yung kee, the one here was less crispy but had more ho
We ordered the papaya soup. This was recommended by the waiter. It has assorted vegetables, bamboo shoots and pork inside the papaya. This feels like a winter melon soup but a bit sweeter (no doubt due to the Hawaiian(?) papaya). Good choice.
We also ordered the char siu as recommended by fellow “open-ricers”. It’s good. If compared with the char siu in yung kee, the one here was less crispy but had more honey flavour in it. The price was reasonable.
The jasmine smoked chicken 茉莉花茶燻雞 was very good. The whole chicken had an excellent musky tea-leave flavour with a sort of honey glaze over it. The meat was smooth too. Furthermore, it only took about 20-30 minutes to prepare. It’s worth the time.
The pomelo sea scrimp was so-so. The “yuzu” sauce was interesting but on the whole tasted like ketchup.
The steamed grouper was fine. Not excellent but not bad either.
The “kai-lan” (Chinese broccoli) 薑汁炒芥蘭 in ginger sauce was very good indeed. It was fresh, crisp and filled with flavour; highly recommended.
For desserts, we had egg tarts with birds nest, sticky dumpling and some walnut cake (?). The egg tarts were very nice. The rest were fine.
Re: the decor – dimly lit and very spacious between tables. The whole place was quiet because of the high ceiling. Modern Chinese classical music as the background. On the whole, it feels a bit like “Golden Leaf” in Conrad Hotel.
** There are also plenty of podium seats for smokers.
The service was very efficient. Everyone had a smile on their face. Excellent service.
All in all, excellent decor and service. Food was fine. Worth a try.
