| - OMG there's no air conditioning and it was 30 degrees.
OMG my mom is so awesome for asking them about the radio promotion that they neglected to mention (buy half a dozen oysters and get a half dozen free).
Yesterday was mom's actual birthday. We had already taken her out for an official birthday dinner, and today we unofficially brought her to OMG because she had heard a promotion on the radio, and we thought it'd be nice for mom NOT to have to cook on her special day.
We arrived around 6:30PM to a relatively empty restaurant. Other than us, there was only one other table. Their servers dress in a logo-ed black polo t-shirt and denim shorts? The restaurant is relatively small as Jennifer K. mentioned and at maximum capacity could probably fit about 30 people tops. There are plasma TVs showing whatever the HK Pop Star concert of the day would be.
As mentioned by previous Yelpers, this is an HK-style Western restaurant. Oysters are $1 each, and the promotion is buy 6, get 6 free BUT one of the diners has to upgrade to a combo dinner (e.g. add $3 and you get soup/hot drink).
Bread was served with balsamic vinegar and butter. I think they add sugar to their balsamic vinegar as it is sweeter than usual. The bread was warm and quite tasty! But then again you are talking to a bread-a-holic!
We ordered the oysters to start. They were served with a cocktail sauce and lemon wedges. The oysters were pretty fresh and velvety. A bottle of Tabasco was also brought - but I missed the usual horseradish accompaniment dearly. We also opted for the Clam Chowder which was creamy and flavourful and was especially good if you dipped your bread into it!
For mains, my dad ordered the Grilled Chicken Steak which came with vegetables and rice. It was nothing special and tasted like every other HK-Style Café version I've tried. My mom opted for the Seafood Angel Hair Pasta who's sauce base was rather bland and came from the natural seafood juices of the clams/mussels that came with it. If you don't like heavy sauces, this would be good for you - but add some salt!
I ordered the Malaysian Pork which was a curry-style pork and Jennifer K was right - it was SPICY! So spicy for me that I started sweating, and the spiciness of the dish impeded me from tasting any other flavours that were present in the dish. I had it with a side of rice. I will add though that the pork was quite tender, although the tendons could've used more cooking time as they weren't tender enough for me.
The HK-style Milk Tea was pretty weak and lacked any real tea flavour to it.
Verdict:
For the prices they charge, the service was mostly absent, and the food was pretty unexciting. I will stick with my usual Lai Doh Restaurant who has a much more extensive menu offering, cheaper prices, and better tasting food.
