| - House of Gourmet combines great value and better-than-usual Chinese food. Given that status, it's no surprise they're always packed. Always.
House of Gourmet's menu is massive, offering any and every combination of dishes ranging from Chinese BBQ to congee to dishes you've never seen before. It's sheer amount of choices makes this place incredibly enticing for a casual lunch, or a festive dinner. It's prices are not so bad either compared to other places in Chinatown, especially their peking duck combo meal.
The food itself is not bad either. The old traditional dishes are done well, without appearing too oily or reliant on MSG. The value of the dishes is consistent, with large portion that's not caked in starch or filler vegetables (water chestnuts or onions). Authentic dishes such as beef kidneys and snails were offered as well, which, judging by the amount of customers they get every night, is definitely a hit with the local Chinese population.
All in all, combined with great value and wide selection that doesn't gyp you with overfilled vegetables, makes this restaurant a win for a delightful Chinese meal on any day.
