Diced chicken with cashew nut in salad dressing ($11.50)
Tender chicken chunks with crunchy cashew nuts reminded me of the familiar diced chicken with dried chili (宫保鸡丁)... Of course, the difference lies in the sauce used...the salad dressing used in this dish is savory yet it has a tinge of sweetness. [My rating: 7.5/10]
Deep fried prawn with salted egg yolk ($18)What can I said more about this 'luscious' dish...fresh huge prawns coated with my favourite salted egg yolk...easily melts the hearts of the most tricky taste buds. The only complaint I have is the price of the dish...$3 per 'golden' prawn! I wish they could add a few more to the plate haa... [My rating: 9.5/10]
Braised Chilled Beancurd with Sliced BBQ Pork Belly ($14.80)The wrinkled-looking beancurd is the result of a 'freeze-thaw' action. The end-product tasted more like taupok (deep fried dried beancurd) which has absorbed the braised sauce like a sponge. I find the dish a bit salty but perhaps it was meant to be salty so that it will go very well with a bowl of white rice. The pork belly was not too bad but I felt the meat was too thinly sliced so it lost some chewiness. [My rating: 6.5/10]
Double-boiled Chicken Soup with Wanton in Claypot ($12.80)
Lastly, we had a soup to complete the meal. The claypot with chinese cabbages, 4 wantons & a quarter chicken was a reasonable portion for 3-4 pax. The soup looked creamy but it didn't have a very milky taste. I felt the chicken soup will taste better if it has a richer taste. [My rating: 6.5/10]
