Was in the NE part of the city and decided to try Jessica Restaurant as we had seen an ad for the restaurant in the Chinese newspaper. We ordered the Chinese Dinner (Say Wor Choy) i.e., soup, 4 dishes, rice and dessert.
Soup - Fish Maw and Crab Meat Soup - delicious and hot - top it up with a little red vinegar and white pepper
4 dishes consist of:
- House Special Open Range Chicken - poached just right with the most fragrant marinade; it comes cold and you eat the chicken with the special ginger and green onion salty and oily dipping sauce - I love this dish! If you are afraid of the chicken head, don't order this dish! Just don't eat the head and you'll do fine! :o)
- Salt and Pepper Fish - OMG! The batter is so light and the fish is so fresh with no fishy smell at all. I like the way they make the garnish - chopped up green and red peppers with onions and fried garlic! Need I say more?
- Pork Slices and Prawns with Snap Peas and Sugar Peas in a light sauce - so refreshing!
- The best for last - Ginger and Green Onion Crab sitting on a bed of noodles with loads of gravy. Piping hot crab - just dig in and go at it! The noodles soaked up the gravy and it was so good!
Dessert - Red Bean Soup (hot). Quite good!
All this for $68! A really reasonable price for all these dishes. The restaurant is a little out of the way but it's pretty darn good!
Wait service was attentive. Turns out I recognized one of the wait staff and she also recognized me!
