Came here on Sunday for a lunch. They increased the price! The Steamed rice combos used to be $5 each with a hot tea/milk tea, but now its $6. Also costed me an extra $0.75 because I wanted the VITA carton soya milk instead. That is a rip off I would say - I would understand if they charged $0.25 or $0.50 more maybe? But charging close to a dollar extra when the prices of your rice meals have already been increased? You can buy a pack of 6 for $4 at the supermarket.
The rice combos were ok. I ordered the white cream sauce with chicken and mushroom. The cream sauce was ok, but I didn't like how the mushrooms were the canned mushrooms kind - but I didn't really expect much out of it anyways. Quite a few pieces of chicken meat so that was good, but in terms of portion it was a lot of rice.
My boyfriend had the black bean spareribs rice combo, classic. There wasn't much black beans though. You would hope maybe they could give a piece of chicken feet (like the other locations do), or a piece of veggie to go with just plain spareribs and rice. Don't forget to add soya sauce, that is key!
We also ordered some dim sum on the side. $5.50 for 4 pieces of Siu Mai? Pretty darn expensive I would say compared to even ordering dim sum at a restaurant. The Siu Mai tasted good, a lot of pork meat mixed with shrimp and mushrooms. We also had a spring roll, and deep fried taro dumplings. These two items were both really good in terms of taste and quality of ingredients - I would have preferred the taro dumplings hot though.
The egg tarts were ok, I found them slightly too sweet. Loved the shape. Would have enjoyed them more if they were hot and straight out of the oven.
I must say the deco of this bakery is really nice. The atmosphere makes it seem like a luxurious bakery, which I suppose definitely explains the steep prices compared to its other franchises.
