Father's Day Dinner was booked here.
Not a fancy restaurant, but this is a low key place. We preordered two items over the phone prior to the date: Sticky Rice Stuffed Chicken and Wintermelon Soup. Ordered some beer too and it was around $3 per bottle.
Items on the Menu:
Wintermelon Soup
The soup is actually cooked in a whole wintermelon for a while. Inside the melon had shrimp, scallops, Chinese Ham, Mushrooms, Dried Scallops, Chicken, and the inner flesh of the wintermelon. The broth was really clear, clean and flavourful. The ingredients were fresh, but just the shrimp was not cleaned at all.
Ginger Sauce Chinese Broccoli
The greens seem to have been overboiled. So they were a bit too tender for my liking.
Steamed Fish with Preserved Mustard Greens & Olives
Fresh fish, but didn't like the combination of the olives and preserved mustard greens.
Sticky Rice Stuffed Chicken
A Whole chicken is stuffed with seasoned cooked sticky rice. The waitress sliced and curved the whole chicken in front of us. The skin was really crisp, but the flavour of the
Chicken and Sticky Rice were a bit bland inside.
Black Bean Sauce Stir Fried Clams
It was tasty with the black bean sauce and was overall ok.
Chicken Shrimp Taro Fried Nest
Stir fried chicken and shrimp with celery and broccoli. The shrimp were huge and clean. Nest ws fried nicely and chicken was tender and moist. Shrimp waa fresh and tasty. Broccoli had crisp and the glass sauce was yummy.
Beef Green Fried Chow Mein
Typical fried Chow Mein. Nice Crisp to the noodles and beef and greens were good.
After dinner we had sweet soup and it was red bean only. It was ok, not to sweet and not a lot of filling.
Fried Salted Squid
It was fried well and tasty. It was not soggy nor chewy. But it did have a more orange tint to it compared to other places.
