| - My parents come here a lot. It's pretty much their favourite Chinese restaurant. I have been to their old location once and found it rather blah.
However, I went to their new location yesterday and although the interior was still rather ghetto-tables with mismatched chairs and random pictures on the wall, the food was really good.
The Food:
I ordered the sweet and sour pork along with a bowl of white rice. This is pretty much my staple. I really missed this when I was living in Taiwan and I can't get enough of it now and it was really delicious! There weren't any bones and the exterior of each piece was crispy. I detest the ones that are too soggy or fatty. So in my books, this was definitely a score. We also ordered fish belly with noodles. This was also very good. The fish belly tasted good and the noodles weren't too soggy. Two ladies even came over after their meal to ask us what it was because they thought it looked really appetizing. The free range chicken was tender and flavourfull. The last dish we ordered was some vegetables cooked with garlic. Always a good choice as long as the vegetables are fresh and it was. The total for the 4 dishes including a bowl of rice came up to about $29 which is very good considering the portions are quite generous. The best thing is that, I can usually tell after a bit if MSG was used in the cooking because I get a funny feeling in my stomach, and I didn't detect any MSG after eating here. So, well done!
The Place:
As mentioned before, this restaurant is your typical Chinese restaurant. It is quite small, with only about 3 big round tables and 3-4 small square tables, and it's quite obvious that the owners didn't put any effort into its decor. It's definitely not a place to bring a first date, but it's somewhere to go when you're craving good Chinese food.
The Service:
There was only one server there and she was an elderly woman. She was very nice and polite. I think my step-dad knew her well because although she came to take our order, he insisted on just writing it for her instead. Also, I don't think she speaks English, but you can always just point to what you want on the menu (if you can read it). The dishes came out in a timely fashion so no complaints here.
The Verdict:
Come here for good Chinese food, but bring a friend who can read Chinese OR your Google translator because the menu is all in Chinese.
