| - Oh man. This place is just...
I came here for dinner with my family and some of my mom's friends tonight for Chinese New Year. Our party of 6 ordered shark fin soup, peking duck, mixed seafood, fried crab...thingy, to name a few.
Shark fin soup was meh. They use vermicelli as shark fin, which I kinda expected for a restaurant this quality.
Peking duck was actually very good! Problem was the second portion we weren't allowed to use lettuce since the chefs inside were "too busy to find lettuce for us", so we ended up eating the duck meat itself.
Mixed seafood was decent, except it lacked calamari (in Chinese it's called a three-mix seafood, this one was a two-mix: shrimp and scallop).
Fried crab thingy wasn't good. There were shells in the crab, when it's supposed to be cleared of them.
Service was also hit and miss. Some of the waiters/waitresses were attentive, others simply ignore you (even though we asked people of the same role). Also when we came, my mom's teacup was dirty, so we asked for a replacement. Problem was the replacement was also dirty, so they replaced it again...and again it was dirty. Apparently they never had the chance to wash any of the teacups since they were so busy...talk about short staffed.
The only reason this place didn't get 1/5 was the peking duck, and the CNY fire crackers they have, which were pretty fun to play with.
