How should I put this?
After this visit, vivid memories of why I haven't been here for the last 6+ years start to come back to me.
Off the bat, expect your food to come in reverse order.
Why we came? Had craving for some good duck and this place for some miraculous reason came to mind.
What we ordered and this is the exact order the food came out (for a table of 7 people).
- a small plate of hoisin sauce
- deep fried onion cake: looks decent, but no taste
- pork slice in garlic sauce: the meat looks a bit raw as it's pinkish color with loaded chopped garlic (not really minced as one would have expected)
- marinated pig ears slice: this is actually decent, and seriously hard to screw up
- scrambled egg white: how come there aren't any broccoli??? And I can't taste anything but egg white.
- deep fried chicken with 5 buns: this is actually delicious
- seafood delight with crispy rice: not bad. Was told this one tastes better than the one with beef
- fried fish in sweet and sour sauce: this is ok
Finally what we came here for...
- Peking duck (3 course): the duck skins are quite crispy; the number of pancake that came with this.. not enough, maybe only 2 per person; the lettuce wrap came with very tiny portion of duck meat which other places I have gone to before easily could have double if not triple the amount of duck meat; the soup... peppery...
Last item... complimentary dessert - purple rice with coconut. Would have been a good way to end the evening until you get to the 3rd spoon and wonder why it tastes so
Overall, dishes here are small portions.
