| - The concept of this restaurant is interesting. You sit down at a table and waiters pass around the tables with trolleys (yes, just like in Harry Potter) and offer different kinds of food. If you are interested, they serve you some and write down on your bill that you ordered this food from this particular category. So your bill will look something like this:
Three orders from category A at $3,50 = $10,50
One order from category B at $3,00 = $3,00
Total: $13,50
(I am paraphrasing the concept. Don't ask what categories A or B are about. This is just an example off the top of my head)
The way the receipt is made makes you think what you ordered will cost a lot but actually it is the opposite, especially if you split the bill with someone. It becomes one great bargain.
My friend and I ordered six things: 2 types of dumplings, potatoes with shrimp, octopus, salt and pepper shrimps, and dessert.
I remember seeing a trolley of rice, vegetables, boiled dumplings, shrimps and miscellaneous.
Overall, the food was really good. I discovered new things that I had never heard about and thus I cannot describe their quality. What I can say about the salt and pepper shrimps, since I could eat them every day, is that they were cooked with the shell. Even though it is super healthy to eat the shell once in a while (according to my Chinese friend), I am not a fan. Also, since it is fried with the shell, make sure to eat the shrimps quickly otherwise the shell gets is hard again.
Our total bill was $24,50 with tip, which makes it $12,50.
Good food + an entire meal below $15 (with taxes and tips) = I'm a fan.
