You can almost always spot a queue right outside Susan Chan. I love to eat tze-char and rice, so I thought I can't miss trying out this place that is situated right at one of my favourite shopping malls, right? We ordered all the hot favourites of any tze char meal. The table seats six people and in general the portion is either slightly smaller than ideal.Sweet & Sour Chicken ($17): More sweet than sour, this dish is quite well done with comfortable-sized chicken pieces.

Sweet & Sour Chicken ($17): More sweet than sour, this dish is quite well done with comfortable-sized chicken pieces. I love how the sweet & sour sauce is smooth and thick. My favourite dish for every tze char meal. Susan Chan's rendition of this dish is above average.
Fried Kai Lan Thai Style ($10): Upon a strong recommendation from my colleague, we decided to order this dish. While vegetables are not something I'll order on my own, this dish is okay, I think. It has a light wokhei aroma but I find that the sauce wasn't thick enough for me. Objectively speaking, the kai lan was crunchy and maintain its freshness but I think vegetables still don't sit well with me.
Fu Rong Omelette ($7): Another "standard" dish, but I think their Fu Rong Omelette is a bit too oily and hence slightly below average. Not recommended.
Fried Beancurd Hotplate ($17): Deliciously rich in flavour and ingredients, but too little to be shared among six people (perhaps four people's sharing). Recommended but it's a little too expensive.
There isn't much service to speak of, but they get things done pretty fast - issuing seats and taking orders, but nothing beyond that. The place has long rectangular tables rather than round tables, so not as conducive for bigger groups that want to engage in conversations. Note that you can't really linger around after your meal because there is a pressurizing queue right outside. A little too expensive for the quality and portion though.
