| - It was a beautiful sunny Saturday so I decided to take my family out for dinner. Unfortunately, the sun set on our experience before we even started eating.
Food 2/5
----------
First off, we wanted to try the rice noodle w/ beef since that's our favourite at Chinese style cafes. However, when it came to ordering, they told us that they were out of rice noodles. Really? It was only 6 pm...on a Saturday...and you don't have rice noodles which is a big part of your menu? Mind blown. We also wanted to order their steam rice with shrimp but that was also unavailable. At this point, we were pretty frustrated, but we decided to still give them a try.
We ordered their sweet and sour pork. It was okay, there were some inconsistency in their batter to pork ratio. Not too big of a deal. However, there were several pieces that were just fat. Ugh!
Next up was the BBQ eel fried rice. This tasted pretty good, it was full of flavour and they had quite a bit of small pieces of eel in it. I would say this was the best dish we had.
However, I can't say the same for their steamed fish. The fish itself was very bland, definitely needed some salt. The flavour was overpowered by the preserved vegetables on top. It wasn't worth the price in my opinion.
The final dish we ordered was the fried egg noodles w/ chicken in satay sauce. The egg noodle itself was pretty good with some crispy parts. However, for a dish that supposed to have chicken in it, there weren't much. It was more of shredded chicken than chicken pieces. The sauce was very thick and pretty salty. Overall, this dish was below my expectation of how egg noodle dishes are made.
Service 2/5
----------
The service was just okay. We were given the menu when we sat down and they gave us a tea pot, pretty standard. But it was hard to get their attention even though it wasn't too busy when we went. Also we were seated right behind the section where the waiter was sorting the utensils, so it was pretty irritating to hear the spoons and forks hitting against each other.
Atmosphere 3/5
----------
The cafe was pretty spacious with a modern feel. I like how they displayed jars of herbal jelly along the side where you have the option to purchase. The TV was a nice addition to the place. I would say they should consider changing some of their chairs as they were pretty rusty.
Overall, my first time experience at this cafe was pretty disappointing. Many of their popular items on their menu were unavailable, food qualify was below average, and service was just okay. Unfortunately I won't be coming back here again.
