| - I went here for lunch and ordered a bunch of items. As always, my eyes were bigger than my appetite.
It was deceiving because price was so cheap that we ordered extra, thinking portions would be small but were we wrong. Each dish was more than enough for two to share. We ordered spicy pigs ear, jelly fish, cabbage with sauce, steam (meat and seafood) dumpling, pan fried (lamb and carrot) dumpling, Beef offal noodle soup.
Dishes worth mentioning were panned fried (lamb and carrot) dumpling and spicy pig's ear.
Panned fried (lamb and carrot) dumpling's skin was not thick and filled with enough stuffing. It was flavourful and did not have a strong lamb smell.
Spicy pig's ear had all the right spices with a nice kick. This was the best dish. If you've never had this, it an acquired taste because it's considered a delicacy and has a crunchy texture.
Another item that is an acquired taste is Beef Offal Noodle soup because it had a strong smell due to beef offal. The soup was perfect because it was not over salted like many restaurants (definitely home cooked) and noodles had a chewy texture with bounce.
Overall, this restaurant wouldn't be my first choice because there is "Asian Legend" and "Dumpling King" in the same plaza that serves Northern Chinese Cuisine. But out of the three, this wins in price. However, my girlfriend and I still prefer "Dumpling King" because they have a lot of winning dishes.
