Only $8.80 NETT for an All - Day Set Meal, Choose between Fish & Chips, Bratwurst Spaghetti
Olio or El-Camino Chicken Thigh - Comes with Free Flow Of Soup, Lemonade, Tea &
Coffee

Sounds good ? So I purchased some Deal vouchers to try out the food.

Soup of the Day
This taste like the usual condensed soup you buy in cans.

Fish & Chips
This is deep fried dory fish (or the cheap sutchi fish) in bread crumbs. We were served pretty deep brown fish (not golden brown), meaning that the fish was over-fried. 2 pieces, served with straight cut fries.

El-Camino Chicken Thigh
I think this is a better choice that the fish & chip. The brown sauce is quite tasty. Served with a hard chunk of carrot, mashed potatoes & another veg - mine was a piece of broccoli, while my companion's was 2 pods of pea.

My Samsung phone's camera always give very intense colours. Actually the broccoli was quite yellowish with only some patches of green, not the bright 'healthy' green you see in the picture.

Coffee & Tea
Free flow, which you help yourself from the counter. Tea are from tea bags.

Given the ambience of the place, the food is cheap. However, given the quality, it is not enough to lure me back again.

Bought a Groupon deal of $33 which comprised of a marmite crab n a choice of marmite pork rib or chicken. Also ordered hokkien mee for carbo .

Marmite Crab
Not fresh. No sweet succulent meat but tasteless crabmeat that was stuck to shell. Very disappointing.

Marmite Chicken
This is deep fried before being slathered in the 'marmite' sauce. I think the sauce for the chicken is very much sweeter than that for the crab, or that the chicken actually absorbed much of the sauce. Too sweet for my liking, that we had to order plain rice to go with it.

Hokkien Mee
This is not the KL style type, but the local black version using round yellow noodles. Again, this dish is TOO SWEET.

Overall, food is below average. Both my husband & myself had stomach runs when we reached home. As we were the only ones who took the achar, we suspected that the achar could be the culprit.

Will never visit the restaurant again.

Tried the following for my family of 4 :

Black Duck Set $16.90

Salmon Rice Set $14.90

Special White Set $14.90

White Cha Set $15.90

Read reviews about the broth, with descriptions like 'creamy ... thick ... rich ...". So I have been wanting to try it; however, I must say that I am disappointed. Broth is diluted & oily. None of the robustness that should come come hours of boiling pork bones, except the oil. The noodle is springy & a little hard. The broth makes or breaks a good ramen. I'll not be back again.

With reports about how former Hong Kong leader Donald Tsang was deprived of a tasting of Ng Ah Sio's Randoon Rd Bak Kut Teh as it was closed, I thought the BKT is worth the try.

As Rangoon Rd is alittle out of the way, we decided to go to the one at Chui Huay Lim Club, at Keng Lee Road, off Newton Road.

These are what we ordered :

Signature Spare Rib Soup ($9.80)
This consisted of 2 long pieces of spare ribs in a broth. We all find the broth too peppery and salty. 

Signature Spare Rib Set ($11.80)
Same as above, but included a bowl of rice and 2 sides - salted veg and yu-tiao. We don't enjoy the salted veg (has a weird smell), but the yu-tiao is nice, especially when dipped in the broth just before eating.

Blanched Pig Liver ($5.50)
Just done, with a little pink. There a just too few pieces.

Blanched Pig Kidney ($6.00)
Faintly urine smell, adults find it acceptable while the kids shun, because of the slight stench

Braised Duck (1/4 duck, $14)
Unlike the BKT, which were served hot, this dish is a little cold (like it was just taken out from the chiller, gravy heated up & poured over). Meat is however soft & tasty. Gravy is quite robust.

You Chai (Lettuce, $5)
This is nothing extraordinary, ordered for fibre intake.

Portion of rice is pretty small, so even for someone with average appetite, additional orders of rice may be required.

Unlike other BKT stalls, where one would usually ask for a top up of the hot broth to savour (yam tong) after a meal, it is impossible to do so here, as it is peppery & too salty. Coupled with such prices for such small portiown, we will not come back again.

$19.80 7-course chinese set lunch comprising of lobster salad & snow crab ? Sounds like a good deal ? So bought this deal from Groupon.

Lobster Fresh Fruit Salad
Not fresh fruit, but more like canned fruit cocktail, with a few sliced pieces of lobster. 

Braised conpoy fish maw thick soup
The usual thick soup. 

Deep fried Japanese snow crab 
Instead of sweet & succulent snow crab, it was dried up fllesh with a weird smell. Obviously the crab is not fresh. The only good thing I enjoyed was the garlic/dried shrimp/chilli bits that came with the dish.

Steamed Live Fish with homemade chilli sauce
A very small tilapia fish. Chilli is very spicy

Stir-Fried Boneless Chicken with Honey Bean in Homemade Sauce
Some sweet peas stir fried with chilli chicken pieces

Braised Ee-Fu Noodle with Mushroom
A carbo dish to fill the stomach. Not much mushroom pieces. Most restaurants would serve with yellow chives to enhance the taste, but it is absent here.

Fresh Mango Pudding
Not much mango pieces. Served with optional evaporated milk.

Usual price is said to be $33, so this is a purported 40% discount. Honestly, what you pay is what you get, so don't expect too much. There is compulsory order of peanuts, towels and Chinese tea, which works out to $2.40 per pax.
