| - My first time here in a while. They've done a menu overhaul since then. Got takeout.
Had:
Mango slush - smooth. Not bad. Quite mango-y. Wasn't the right weather for it though. Oh well. Daddy's craving, not mine. Decent price too, if I recall correctly. Under $4.
Deep fried silver fish with salt and pepper - deep fried quite nicely. Salt and pepper served on the side. A tad oily though. What I mean is that when I bit into the fish, there was a gush of oil. Not so nice.
Deep fried tofu with salt and pepper - differs from the house of deep fried tofu. Yes, that's an odd sort of Engrish. Small pieces of tofu. Salt and pepper also served on the side. Good portion for $4.99. I'd order this again.
Stir fried green beans and minced pork - green beans were fresh. Decent amount of pork. Standard though.
Beef brisket and tendon - for $7.99, the portion was ridiculously tiny. There were like 5 pieces of brisket and 4 pieces of tendon. It's like getting the portion one usually gets in soup noodles, but multiplied by 1.5. Quite upsetting. Brisket was not dry and stringy. I'll give them that. Because of the portion though, I won't be ordering this again.
Braised Chinese cucumber with dried shrimp vermicelli - I was expecting a whole lot more vermicelli. This came in two takeout congee containers (Styrofoam). When I opened them, I was quite confused. There was a lot of liquid, and the cucumbers were floating on the top. Upon placing this into a serving dish, we discovered that the shrimps were hardly noticeable, and the amount of vermicelli combined in both containers was about the size of a standard rice bowl. In short, this dish was more a soup than anything else. All liquid, no substance.
Menu - this one's interesting. They don't seem to have a takeout menu, hard copy, that I could find. They also don't provide a full English menu unless one asks for it. Most of their menus have English on the first page, but no English on the rest.
