Everything about this place is great, from the cleanliness of the interior to the aesthetically-plated dishes. The staff is also very polite and friendly. I came here for dinner with a couple of friends. We ordered individual dishes and they all were brought out in a timely fashion. For appetizers, they brought out some wonton chips and a sweet/spicy dipping sauce. Delicious! We also ordered the Tom Kah Chicken soup, which was sour enough from the lemongrass to tease our taste buds.
I ordered the Crispy Pork Belly with Chinese Broccoli. OMG. So good! The bite-size pieces of fatty pork were seasoned well and the acidity of the Chinese broccoli was a nice balance to the overall saltiness. I would definitely order this again or even take it to go after trying something else!
My friends ordered the Garlic Short Ribs and the Short Rib Yellow Curry. The Garlic Short Ribs were good. You might want to use your fingers to get all the meat off the bones. Personally, they were probably cooked a minute too long as they were a little too chewy for my taste. The Short Rib Yellow Curry was also good. As they set the plate down, the huge rib of meat jiggled and glistened in the light and I could tell it was perfectly cooked. And it was! The curry itself was also tasty. No complaints here.
The desserts probably stole the show. We ordered the Vanilla Bean Créme Brûlée and the Earthquake. The Earthquake was fun. You pour the hot raspberry sauce over the chocolate ball. As the chocolate melts, the lychee sorbet inside is slowly revealed. The sorbet was good, but probably too sweet for my taste and a bit too tart. The creme brûlée was yummy! Order one of your own and don't share! This one is beautifully plated. The candied sugar cage will crumble as you give it a light tap with your spoon. The crust on the creme brûlée was perfect and nothing was too sweet.
Everything about this visit was pleasant, except for the point lighting, which I thought was too harsh at times. It was difficult getting the right picture as my own shadow would cast too harshly over the food. There are lots of dishes to choose from and I will definitely be back to try more! I noticed the family next to us ordered a whole catfish that looked delicious. Maybe I'll try that next!
