2.5 Star
This review of Rosewood Chinese Cuisine is based on dinner experience! I have not been here for dim sum yet.. and when they said "ALL DAY" dim sum is not true as dim sum is only served till 4 pm.
The restaurant was really quiet on a Sunday evening as only the main floor was opened with just 3 tables of customers.
Rosewood is really a Fuchow/Cantonese restaurant so there are some items on the menu that reflected that.
With a group of 8 we shared:
Lychee Pork ($9.99)
- The pork was really lean and lightly coated before deep fried and round off with a tangy sauce
- not bad with just a hint of sweet and sour.. I do love that it is not too heavy!
Yellowtail Grouper ($28.99) 2 dishes
- Soup was good with the tofu and
- The fish with stir fried veggie was really bland
House Fried Vermicelli ($8.99)
- Beef tripe is used to stir fried with vermicelli
- definitely not my favourite
Fried Mixed Vegetable Noodles ($7.99)
- Ordered especially for our vegetarian dinner mate
- meh, lack the aroma of fresh off the wok vibe
Tofu Bean Curd Stick and Eggplant ($8.99)
- standard but at least it was nice and hot
Crispy Chicken ($18.99)
- Best dish of the night!! One of the best crispy chicken I ate
- The skin was deep fried to crispiness and the meat still so juicy and tender
- I might just go back for this one!
Purple Rice Sweet Soup (Complimentary)
- Served lukewarm and not even sweet....
- We didn't even finish half of that
Most of the dishes we ordered were not really that great and some even disappointing. As a Cantonese restaurant it really lacks that fresh of the wok taste.
The service was not bad just a little indifference.
Maybe I will come back for dim sum and give it another try. But I definitely not going to be back for dinner...
