| - This place serves dim sum? What the Hell...I came here for dinner..
The very uninteresting plaza on 16th Avenue by the neighbourhood with the big houses, this is the only noticeable business. The fact that it says Regal in the name is enough to catch my interest., the 16 in the name however, ugh..little bit effort please!
I came here with my friend Nicole, and she ended up making fun of me for asking for the English menu. Look, I've said this before; it's not my Chinese that's bad, it's because I've left China at an early age, and Chinese food on menus are given preposterously fancy names.
Crowd: Seniors
Décor: Not bad
Wine: Blue Label
Girls: Seniors, although we were sat next to the only other table comprised of youths.
Service: Professional, the head server had the floor locked down. He also looked like some ex-martial arts teacher, so I made sure to thank him each time he serviced us.
I had the idea of coming here to try out some extravagant dishes, assuming that was the story here being called 'regal' and all, and I thought I brought a cultured friend who knew her delicacies. They do, and I did. However, things didn't end up turning out that way.
They had the shark-fin soup, but neither of us ordered it. I HAVE to have rice, so I got the special fried rice or something, with ma por (spicy) tofu. I started with Shanghai won-ton soup, and Nicole got the egg-drop soup. This was becoming rather pedestrian, so I told my older & wiser friend Nicole to order anything she liked. Anything off of the menu, no problems. I thought I relayed my intentions quite clearly, and I didn't ask her what she ordered in Cantonese.
It turned out, she ordered chicken with almond and green peppers. We call this in Chinese: Chicken Nails...as in nails to hammer things in, which is perhaps the cheapest thing someone can order at any restaurant. I was thoroughly disappointed, and even called her out for it. So here I am, in a high end Chinese restaurant, eating fried rice, tofu and chicken breast.
What is this, my first time in a restaurant?!
I went to the washroom,and noticed that there was Majong (MJ [Chinese gambling thing]) rooms att he front and rear of the restaurant. WOOT?! Was this a restaurant, or a retirement home? That's so gangster!
The bill came out to $80, for $15 worth of food.
Felt like I should have worn my flip flops (I don't have flip flops).
