Being a finicky person in almost anything, I've always wanted to write food reviews but never came to it. Finally, the time has come for my first food review. It's my second visit to this restaruant and again table for 1. I hope my third visit will be a merrier one, where I can try more great food here with my friends. I think the place is good for chillout or hangout. Thinking back to my first visit (Mar 20 dinner ~6pm)I was sick and wanted some congee (or rice porridge). Looking up the iSquar
It's my second visit to this restaruant and again table for 1. I hope my third visit will be a merrier one, where I can try more great food here with my friends. I think the place is good for chillout or hangout.
Thinking back to my first visit (Mar 20 dinner ~6pm)
I was sick and wanted some congee (or rice porridge). Looking up the iSquare restaurant directory, I saw Praise House Congee & Noodle Cuisine 譽居 which is exactly the congee place I'm looking for! I've never heard of it, so let's check it out. The moment I arrived at the door, this place gave me a decent and high class (expensive) feeling. Just my personal perspective. Reading thru their menu at the entrance, I was happy to know the prices are quite accetpable consided that it's iSquare and the restaurant looks classy. At least more classy than the average noodles restuarants.
I still remember the sweet corn taste and smooth congee texture of my corn with meat congee. Looks very nice and only for < $40!
This, the Second visitI didn't want to have a heavy lunch, so at last I just chose the BBQ Pork White Cut Chicken Lo Mein 叉燒切雞撈麵. It's been years since I've had Lo Mein. I chose noodles over white rice because I like noodles better, and that it's more challenging to make the good texture and flavor. My order came with ginger and spring onion oil 薑蔥 as expected, and oyster sauce 蠔油 which was a surprise because I can't recall having served oyster sauce with BBQ Pork before! Whether it's a good match or not it depends on the BBQ pork, but it does look or feel professional.
The overall portion is alright but I did expect a little bit more. Then again, it's understandable because of inflation and its location in a high rent building. BBQ pork 叉燒:
Requested for half fat and half lean meat. The pork wasn't much roasted and not quite juicy, but the soy sauce on top and the medium firmess being just right made up for the loss, so the overall flavor was more than a pass. Dipping it into the oyster sauce enhanced the flavour and created a fresh and more complex sensation. So, next time you have BBQ pork, you can request for oyster sauce on the side. I don't guarantee it improves the flavor, but it's worth a try.
White Cut Chicken 白切雞:
Requested for chicken breast because I don't like to deal with bones. It's tender and the skin wasn't very thick/fat which i appreciate.
Noodles 麵:
The portion is more than the average noodles. The color is light or yellow, which I like. The firmness was about medium. The texture and overall flavor was good.
Soup for the noodle 湯:
It's hot but can be hotter because it feels little cold when mixed with the noodles. It has a very light pepper taste to it which should be not be a surprise.
Ginger and spring onion oil 薑蔥:
Simply very salty.
Oyster sauce 蠔油:
Looks very glossy and tastes fresh.
Tea:
The tea had a taste of sweetness and was quite smooth. Surprised to see them using teabags though.
Menu:Nice menu that includes the history of the food.
Others:I couldn't tell if the background music was classical melodies or what but was quite relaxing. The seasoning containers are quite cute as well.
題外話/補充資料：
As for the taste, I wanted to give 3.5 if I got a choice.
