The restaurant is located above a TCM shop, which I almost walk past.
After walking up the narrow staircase, we are met with a small dine in area. The place is decorated in a very zen look. As it is almost closing time, there is limited items in the menu available. The staff has kindly marked the menu with stars for the available items.
Olive Rice 橄榄饭 ($4)This is only type of rice available. I am surprised that the rice is quite tasty on its own and does not have the usual salty olive taste.
Qi Tonic Chicken Soup 补气嫩鸡汤 ($7.50)A veritable qi tonic, especially beneficial for the digestive system (脾胃 “spleen and stomach”), suitable for growing youth 益气健脾
The soup is surprisingly light and flavourful. Quite different from the usual sold outside, which is tends to be more on the salty side. The chicken is super tender.
Snow Pear with Fig Soup 雪梨无花果汤 ($7.50)Together with almond, this soup nourishes lung and resolves phlegm. Suitable for those troubled by their cough 润肺化痰
Mother is expecting this to be a sweet soup for dessert, but it is not. Cooked with pork ribs, it has a light hint of sweetness in the soup. Interesting but flavourful soup.
Crunchy Lotus Root with Pork ($7)The lotus root is sliced very thinly here but still tastes very crunchy and crispy. The pork is very tender too.
Clear Vision Tea 清热明目茶 ($5)With mulberry, chrysanthemum and wolfberry to clear the mist from your eyes 含有菊花、桑叶与枸杞子
There is a lot of leaves in this tea, but it tastes of chrysanthemum mostly.
Complexion-Enhancing Tea 贵妃养颜茶 ($5)Secret combination of flora herbs to rival Yang Guifei’s complexion brew 这秘制花茶，让您肌肤如杨贵妃一样光滑
Not sure what is inside the tea, but there is a lot of flowers in it. It tastes flowery and sweet, reminding me of longan tea.
Red Dates Muffin 红枣松饼 ($3)It tastes naturally sweet with the small juicy red dates in it.
Black Sesame Muffin with Lemon 黑芝麻柠檬松饼 ($3)A very yummy muffin which tastes very much like the black sesame paste dessert with its sandy texture.
Osmanthus Jelly 香甜桂花糕 ($3 for 2 pieces)The jelly is light and tastes with a hint of Osmanthus.
Overall the food is delicious. There is not much crowd here and it is quite relaxing here. Although we are the last customers of the day, we are not rushed to finish our food.
