| - Hong Kong style cafe with Chinese entrees as well. We opted for Chinese entrees. Each entree came with a bowl of rice.
We had:
Stir fried green beans with chicken - green beans were fresh and crisp. They weren't overcooked. The chicken was tender, but there was a skewed ratio of beans to chicken, beans being the vast majority of the dish.
"A" veggie with garlic - Fairly standard. Good portion. A tad too salty for me.
Sweet and sour pork - not as much filler veggie as other places do (that being the peppers, the onions, the pineapple). Most of it had that still crispy texture I like, but some of it did not. Taste was pretty standard. I like how the filler veg had a good amount of pineapple in it because out of the filler, that's the one thing I don't mind eating.
Chicken and beancurd hot pot - I think there was bean curd in here. I could be wrong. I thought it was fish until I bit into it. It was definitely hot (temperature wise). Taste wise, nothing noteworthy, but not bad in any way.
Fish curry - lots of sauce. Not so much fish. Also had chunks of potato. Interesting thing about this curry is that it does not taste like Chinese curry. It's considerably more fragrant. That being said, I prefer Malaysian curry.
Oxtail in hot pot - This one is $3.50 more than their other pre-set price entrees, but worth the $3.50. Oxtail was tender and the hot pot was hot (temperature wise). Good amount of oxtail too. Sauce tasted almost like braised brisket sauce. Also a tad saltier than I'd have liked it.
Things to note:
Tea comes in plastic cups. It doesn't stay hot for very long, and you have to ask them to refill it. Because the food was salty, this proved difficult for me. I drank my tea, my dad's tea and all of the remaining water in my water bottle. My mom commented on the lack of tea when we came home because her mouth was quite dry.
I'm not the biggest fan of these Chinese pre-set price entrees (woh choy). They don't interest me in the least, so yes, I am biased.
