  • Modern twist to Asian food in a warm antique setting! We were walking along College looking a quick bite prior to our show at 8PM - we passed by a couple of places when the sign outside caught our attention - "Dailo and Lopan". My initial thought was there must be typo but then my Chinese knowledge kicked in and brought a quick smile to my face as it was a neat word play. We didn't have reservations but said lets give it try which was the beginning of a great food adventure :) As we entered, a friendly host greeted and told us she could squeeze us in for a table of 2 beside the bar. The coat check was great as you didn't have lug around your jackets. Inside, the interior was dark wood flooring with neat box seats on side and open seating on the other. I loved the old fashioned wall paper which gave me a feel of 1920s Shanghai but updated. We sat by the bar on a high top table which had retro black and white photos on the wall. Our server was super friendly while offering free sparking or flat water. After explaining the menu, we were pleasantly surprised to hear that it was a "tapas" style menu with small plates and mains to share. So, on to the food: Starters: Hakka brown wontons - don't like the small bowl fool you in thinking it is just another dumpling. The wontons are coated in a gravy-like sauce that had a great pop in the mouth. Couldn't just eat one or two or even three :) Miso Salt Cod Brandade - initially we weren't quite sure what to expect as we thought this was going to like anchovies served on toasted bread but it was a wonderful dish. It was probably our favourite dish - anchovies + salt cod blended in to mashed potatoes topped with little fried fish. The dip went amazing with the traditional chinese bread! Scallops with vermicelli - this was one of the specials of the day where it was scallops in the shell topped with a seasoned vermicelli. Yummy! Main: Char siu pork lion - this was my 2nd favourite dish and server had a perfect description for it which was a deconstruced char siu bao :). The dish is served with two hot steamed buns which you then make up your own bao with the radish, pork lion and sauce. My first bite - wow - nice smokey and sweet flavours :). I've seen other places used pork belly (which is a bit too fat for me) so the pork lion had the right meat on it. Winner! Banana leaf grilled mackeral - our last dish was also the special which was a whole mackeral wrapped in a banana leaf and grilled to perfection. It is a whole fish so you need to be careful on bones but the fish was cooked exactly to "fall off the bone" with a spicy sauce. It was served with a side of coconut scented rice and salad. Definitely tasty! In all, we were super happy to have stumbled on Dailo and we'll definitely come back to try the tasting menu and dessert!
