Boy what a difference a few years make. I recall coming here for a holiday dinner and not enjoying it as much. I was surprised that my generous hosts decided to come back after a sub par experience but I trust their decision as they eat out enough to choose where to go.
This was a set menu and luckily we managed to snag a private room which ensured personalized service in addition to privacy. This was a set menu so all we had to do was sit and enjoy. Here is the breakdown
Jelly fish with BBQ Pork. I only tried the Jelly fish and it was seasoned well.
Stuffed crab claw. I luv this dish but sadly this hasn't improved here. A sub par version of this dish IMO.
Peking Duck 1st course. This was a new addition to our set menu from the last visit and didn't disappoint. The skin was nice and crispy and while not the best on the city was good enough to elevate this meal.
Chinese Style Beef steak. This was memorable on the last visit and they have remained consistent.
Shark fin soup. This was a below average version of this dish owing largely to the chicken instead of crab meat being used as a filler.
Dried scallops with mushroom. I am not a fan of this dish so was just OK with it.
Fried lobster. Can't go wrong here I suppose nothing out of ordinary here just decent.
Peking Duck course 2. Crystal fold I kind of enjoy this course as well (better than other courses that are usually offered with peking duck) Nice crunch and great way to extend the duck.
Crispy chicken. This was overcooked IMO
Steamed Grouper with scallions. This dish was disaster on the last visit thankfully it was decent and not way overcooked like last time.
Noodles and rice. Fillers IMO and served their purpose well. I enjoyed the noodles.
Dessert offerings as expected were forgetful.
3.5 stars.
