For authentic Cantonese cuisine,my family goes to Red Star Restaurant .The dishes are all my family's favourite. The Sea cucumber cooked with Gai Choy in an earthen pot.Sometimes the sea cucumbers are not cooked to sufficient softness for my mother and she would complain they are too hard.But this time the dish has some softer ones for her.The Gai Choy is delicious with the flavouring and freshness of the seafood.Equally fresh was the mixed vegetables of french beans and vegetarian " meat".The Tou fu topped with fish and prawn meat steamed in egg white was fragrant.It is simple yet delicious.The Yam Bowl is a must have.The bowl of vegetables, cashew nuts and bite-sized chicken complemented the wonderful yam basket. The deep fried chicken is as always soft and tender. However the deep fried prawn was "bad". The prawn was wrapped in too much flour and my mother commented that it did not look like this when she had it way back.The dessert was mango with pomelo fruit. But it was watery.We had it at a stall and it was thicker and much nicer.It could have been so much better.The bill came up to $160. It was a great gathering with great food .
