The thing about huiwei is that everyone will tell you to try it -Try to fish head, try the lotus root vegetables, try this try that. But the truth is, when you actually see the menu of the place, you wouldn't know what to try. Everything seems like a good bet. That night, we decided to stick with all our favourites: Steamed fish head with cai por, fried lotus root with mixed veg and fried calamaries.The service here is really good, and the dishes came super fast -much faster than I'd expected.

The service here is really good, and the dishes came super fast -much faster than I'd expected. The fish was the last to be served, but it didn't take too long either.
This dish is the most interesting of the lot. Deep fried lotus root fried with french beans + celery. The deep fried lotus roots are thinly sliced and taste more like potato chips than anything else ..Not even kidding here!! Fried with green vegetables it's delicious! Tasty, refreshing and every bite a crunch of texture. Must try.
The deep fried calamaries aren't overcooked, it's crisp on the outside and the batter isn't flourry. It's served with a sweet chilli sauce, but we suggest that you ask for another sauce instead -the coriander sauce. It's green ...blended with coriander, green chillis and probably some garlic and lime. More delicious and refreshing -also complements the calamaries more than the original sweet chilli sauce. The one thing that impressed me about the calamaries was that even when cold, it was still good.
The steamed fish was probably the most worth-it of the lot. Huuuuuge fish head, loads of meat, very little bones (important because I dont like my fish with too many bones...picky in this arena), topped with fried cai por, garlic and a light soy sauce that complements the sweet freshness of the fish. The meat is fresh and light, and eating it on its own has a certain flavour that's indescribable.The rice is 50cents but for 50cents you get a huge mound on your plate and it's guaranteed to stuff you up. For such prices, the food here is really worth it. Don't recall the exact prices but we spent close to 40ish on this meal for 3 people. Freshness and tastiness guaranteed. Everyone should try this place at least once.
