| - There are only a few meals in one's life that can be considered the best meal of your life for various reasons, e.g. the company you're with, location of dining experience, level of skill required to prepare the dishes, fact that you're on vacay. I'm basing my review on the ingredients, quality of execution, and exemplary service. Jack, the General Manager, welcomed us on a Saturday evening with a friendly, unpretentious manner. The restaurant itself is in a non-descript strip mall with plain decor.
We were a group of 6 and were seated right away. The place was packed and humming with happy, satisfied patrons. We immediately noticed the dishes that other tables ordered and there was a theme of steamed oysters, jelly fish and baby octopus cold appetizer, and tofu. We ordered the beef tenderloin with green and red peppers, steamed oysters, in house made tofu with crab sauce and broccoli, jelly fish and octopus cold plate, and the mustard and pork stomach soup. I know, the name of the soup is not appetizing but, the flavour was complex balance of savoury, spiced with white pepper corns and a hint of acidity that cut across any heaviness. The bursts of flavour from every bite was truly overwhelming. I highly recommend our menu items to anyone who appreciates complex flavours, impeccably executed textures and temperature of food. My benchmark for foods - I'm a serious food connoisseur who experiences dining at places ranging from 5 star Michelin restaurants to hole in the wall establishments for sheer pleasure. You're welcome -- enjoy the best meal of your life! Life is short!
