We booked a table for 10 and were excited to try the Peking Duck. The sliced ducks were served on duck-shaped plates. However we must say that the ducks were quite disappointing becos they were cold, the wraps were not hot at all, but they were supposed to be steamed and served. It’s also sad that the skin of the duck slices was not crispy at all. The condiments were served in full range though- they even gave melon sticks in addition to the ordinary cucumber sticks. Since we came in a big group
Since we came in a big group, we ordered the 8-people set dinner, and we added one steamed chicken wrapped in lotus leaves.
The dishes were nice, and the chicken was steaming hot (compared to the ducks). The chicken meat fell off the bones and tasted good.
The bamboo shoots were crunchy and served in big portion. We had a bit of everything in the assorted platter, surprisingly I like the braised gluten (烤麩) the most.
Deep fried fish with sweet and sour sauce was fresh and good. Very meaty and flavoursome.
Stir fried prawns were coated in salted egg sauce, taste-wise it’s nice, temperature-wise it’s also not hot enough (sadly).
The braised pork knuckle was huge. The sauce tasted like 豬腳薑 instead of the 東坡 style. Gingery, vinegary and sweet. Would prefer to have the savoury sauce instead.
The wonton and tofu chicken broth tasted nice, but still the same complain: it’s not hot enough.
The fried rice with salted meat was very salty, while the Shanghainese stir fried thick noodles were okay.
This Chinese restaurant is located on 19/F of QRE plaza but we were seated in the Japanese restaurant on 10/F. Staff told us the upper floor was very full so they let us sit at the tables on 10/F instead (apparently the Japanese restaurant was managed by the same group).
So we took this opportunity to sample both the Chinese and Japanese desserts. The osmanthus jelly and the cream puffs.
The teas served were good. We had osmanthus oolong tea, and lychee rose tea.
Overall, we spent $330 per person and there was obviously a huge room for improvement in terms of the food temperature.
