| - Ordered take-out from here the other night after a friend who lives in the area had recommended it. Staff are very friendly and the my order was ready within 20-minutes. Because I had take-out, I obviously didn't stay in but by the looks of the place, it's very well maintained, clean and casual.
Because I'm a Libra and was getting indecisive with what to order, I ordered their Treasure Box which consisted of (4) chicken balls, (4) chicken wings, (4) BBQ ribs and (4) breaded shrimp.
Chicken Balls - I don't know what it is about chicken balls but it's something I need to have whenever I have Chinese food. The batter-chicken ratio was pretty average as well as the sweet and sour sauce. Was also a little on the crunchy side which I actually enjoyed. 4/5 stars.
Chicken Wings - Was lightly battered thus making it quite greasy. Was also pretty average with taste but because it was on the greasier side, I'd rate it 3.5/5. Plus the size wasn't too big.
BBQ Ribs - Marinade was quite nice and the meat just fell off the bone. Also had a little bit of fat which gave it a nice flavor. Because of its tenderness and flavour, I rate this 5/5.
Breaded Shrimp - Though it was nicely fried, I found that it had way too much batter. I'm guessing this was double dipped in the batter to hide the fact that the shrimp used weren't all that big (pun intended). However, the bits of shrimp that I did get was good especially with their sweet and sour sauce. 4/5.
Along with the Treasure Box, I ordered Chicken Fried Rice and Cantonese Chow Mein.
Chicken Fried Rice - Was perfectly seasoned and had a good amount of cubed chicken. You can tell that they don't use MSG here because I wasn't as parched afterwards nor did I feel like I was waking up in the middle of a desert with a dry mouth. 5/5.
Cantonese Chow Mein - Very generous with their vegetables though I personally would've loved to have gotten more protein (had chicken and shrimp). Was pretty average in taste though I liked how the noodles were a little crunchy. Had just the right amount of sauce, in my opinion. 4/5.
