I must say Lao Beijing never fails to disappoint me in terms of food quality-- humble chinese food that is cooked well. Even for their buffet, quality remains. =) We ordered so many dishes because it was ala-carte buffet and I was unable to capture the pictures of all dishes, but I will highlight to you what's good in the menu. And oh btw, its only $18.80 ++I was very happy to find one of my favourite Chinese appetizer on the menu - beancurd skin! However, the one here wasn't tasty and was too o
I was very happy to find one of my favourite Chinese appetizer on the menu - beancurd skin! However, the one here wasn't tasty and was too oily. They had other appetizers such as pickled cucumbers, braised peanuts and garlic pork. The noodles came in small portions so its a good size to keep your stomach for the huge variety of food. I really liked the spinach tofu because the tofu was very soft and the fried part outside was not dry at all. The other highly recommended dish will be the prawn paste chicken. It was very crispy and didn't felt oily, and you could really taste the aroma of the prawn paste, not like some other places which taste more like fried wings. A must-order if you go I say! And don't miss the soupy Xiao Long Bao too! Other lovely dishes was the fried fish fillet and braised eggplant.
One of the signature dishes of Lao Bei Jing is their DIY Popiah. They actually sell them as a set and for buffet, they limit it to one set per 4 person. The popiah skin was very soft (most tore when we tried to separate them) and came with many ingredients for you to customise your own. For instance, if you don't eat certain ingredients like beansprouts of garlic then you will love the flexibility to make your own. The turnips was also well braised and dry, with large pieces of beancurd in them.
Lastly, the desserts were only limited to 3 choices - mango sago, sesame paste and ice cream puff. I would say skip the last.
Overall a very value-for-money place with decent food and good service. Thumbs up!
