| - I've had some varied experiences at Dayali. Order the right things and you're good; order the wrong things and oh man can it get weird really quickly. So first thing first, always get the peking duck. Don't even think about it, just do it. If they just served peking duck and nothing else, they would probably get at least 4/5 stars. Everything else, proceed with caution.
So the last time I went here, we ordered the set menu because there was 8 of us and we got served some of the weirdest foods I've eaten, and I've eaten some weird stuff. Here's a few that topped it:
- Deep fried yam fries with a coating of duck egg yolk
- Savoury egg flan with dried seafood that was really pungent
- Frog legs (which is fine), with spices that numb your mouth, literally. Like how your tongue feels after you got your cavity filled.
- Pigs ear in gelatin, served cold
- Salad with cold chicken hearts
I pretty much eat anything, so I still ate the food. It was just weird. My friends kind of just stared and gawked at it a bit. They also do the whole upselling bit that was really annoying. They would say that they only have the larger lobster and not the 3.5 advertised on the menu so that's an extra $100 dollars. Or they don't have the fish and they try to substitute it with something else that was less expensive. Service overall reeked. The peking duck is still good though, and most of the soups are probably safe, at least the ones I've tried.
