Our first visit together at the food court in Mekong Plaza at lunchtime resulted in both my girlfriend instinctively heading towards this restaurant.
Just moments after the food arrived at our table we discovered that our instinct was spot on.
We shared an order of Braised Pig Trotter.
The portion size was plenty for the two of us.
Our initial and immediate impression was that we both agreed this dish was perfectly prepared.
My girlfriend, who is a native of mainland China, also vouched for the its authenticity, which is impressive for a restaurant located in a shopping mall.
The skin was very tender and cooked evenly all the way through yet still had the right degree of chewiness, which for me is the best indication of skillful preparation.
The meat was succulent and the fat and tendon successfully delivered the sticky and gelatinous yumminess for which this dish is so well known.
The broth was savory and nicely seasoned but not overpowering.
My girlfriend said it was "pigilicious"
Fans of this dish should definitely try it here :-)
On our second visit we shared a bowl of spicy beef stew noodle soup (#38).
The portion size was plenty for the two of us.
The broth was yummy with just the right amount of spice, the noodles were the right degree of chewiness, and the beef was tender and flavorful.
If your a fan of beef noodle soup then we definitely recommend trying it here :-)
Prompt, courteous service, reasonable prices, a great place for some authentic Chinese cuisine for lunch or dinner.
