1st course : Cold Dish CombinationThere was 5 dishes in this dish : crispy fish skin, salad prawn, fried egg, black fungus, deep fried prawn roll.
Most people were not taken with the black fungus especially with the older generation. Although the black fungus was crunchy, it was lacking of flavours.
The crispy fish skin was everyone's favourite as it was light and crispy.
The prawn roll looked like crispy yam roll, filled with crunchy prawn filling.
2nd course : Double Boiled Black Chicken SoupThe soup was a way too salty for most people. The meat of the black chicken was quite tender.
3rd course : Baked Herbal DuckThe meat was quite tender and filled with tender soft, melt in the mouth chestnuts.
4th course : Braised Seafood with vegetablesThere was clams, fish maws, shiitake mushrooms, whelks, cabbage, and dried scallops. The dish was well braised.
5th course : Five Spice RollsThere was way too much onion in the rolls, and lacking of the crunchy texture from water chestnuts. It was served with a spicy squid salad.
6th course : Steamed Sea BassThe fish was steamed with soya sauce, and topped with a meat and preserved vegetable mixture. The meat was firm and juicy.
7th course : Steamed Herbal PrawnsThe prawns were juicy but can barely tasted the herbal part.
8th course : Braised Pork Belly PauThe braised pork belly was quite oily, and could do with a longer braising time as the fat still did not have the melt in the mouth texture yet. It was served with pipping hot bun.
9th course : Mango PuddingWish there were mango cubes in it. Lacking of mango flavour.
Service was uneven. My dining partner who was having vegetarian, got left out of one course. One staff remembered but served her with a vegetable dish with dried scallop in it. The following course she was served 2 courses together.
