I have heard of this restaurant chain for a while and have yet to try out. We tried to avoid the crowd and have our dinner around 8+pm. The restaurant was quite full but we didn’t need to wait for our seats.We browsed other tables for food idea, the pot of soup appeared in most tables. It seemed their soups were good. We were damn hungry and our eyes were bigger than our stomach! We have ordered their recommended sea whelk with ribs soup, bean paste steam fish head, deep fried white silver
I have heard of this restaurant chain for a while and have yet to try out. We tried to avoid the crowd and have our dinner around 8+pm. The restaurant was quite full but we didn’t need to wait for our seats.We browsed other tables for food idea, the pot of soup appeared in most tables. It seemed their soups were good. We were damn hungry and our eyes were bigger than our stomach! We have ordered their recommended sea whelk with ribs soup, bean paste steam fish head, deep fried white silver fish and spinach with 3 eggs. When we placed the order, the lady who took our order gave us a surprise face~we have ordered too much.
The little dish of braised peanuts was served automatically, it was really a good dish, peanuts was big and soft and melted in your mouth, the taste was appetising. Good food didn’t come with a cheap price though, it cost $5, worth it or not, no judgement on me.
Dishes were served almost the same time. I couldn’t stop drinking the soup, it was super good, one could taste it has boiled for long hours, whelk was left a bit of mild taste and really soft and smooth, ribs were tendered even the soft bone. They would fill up our bowl when we have finished-good service. Deep fried silver fish was crispy like chips, it was good with a cold drink. Spinach with 3 eggs was above standard.
Here come the bean paste steam fish head, it was the last dish to serve, it wasn’t steamy hot when served. We have eaten this dish many times at Chinatown, we know very well what we are looking for this dish. The fish was overcooked, it was tough, in terms of freshness and quality, it has rooms to improve. Frankly this dish spoiled the overall standard.
I would say worth to revisit without ordering the steam fish head.
