Roots was a place that I was a bit interested in. A French Cantonese bistro run by someone who left her banking job to pursue a career as a chef. That is a dream I wish I was brave enough to do. One afternoon I decided to give it a try.It was full but they managed to fit me in at the window. During lunch time, they have lunch menu. I can't really say it's a set because it's not. It's just what they serve during lunch time. What you get is a main. Appetizer, dessert and drinks are extra. Menu is

During lunch time, they have lunch menu. I can't really say it's a set because it's not. It's just what they serve during lunch time. What you get is a main. Appetizer, dessert and drinks are extra. Menu is in English only.
I decided to get the half roasted French spring chicken, local organic root vegetables and potato confit ($148). It looked good until I started getting into it. Let's start with the good. The vegetables were lovely. Fresh and seasoned well though there was a bit too much oil for my liking. But they were good. The chicken was tender and moist but oddly underwhelming. I've had better roast chicken. I've made better roast chicken. And it also was still raw at the thigh area.
The food was ok. Not amazing enough to warrant this price tag. Considering they only offer the main and NOTHING else for this price, I can get a better deal and better food at the other restaurants in this area. That is perhaps why it was the only one that didn't have a line waiting. Probably won't be back.
