My first time there ...

My mother read about the restaurant in a restaurant guide and would like to try it out, so we booked a table and arrived there around 7pm. There weren't a lot of customers yet, perhaps because the time was still early.

The environment was nice and the harbour view was magnificent! We could enjoy the laser show just by sitting there. But the lights were quite dim, so it was hard to read their menus. Moreover, they designed their restaurant in the Chinese style, so they've used wooden chairs like the old days. Those chairs are just too heavy and difficult to move around. So it was kinda uncomfortable for sitting.

I ordered a pot of jasmine tea. So so. All the dishes were named in a 'special' way in Chinese that you have to read the English description to understand what the dish really is. =.= We ordered crab soaked in wine, stir-fry vegi and a stir-fry prawns. The crab was yuck! It's the worst one I've ever eaten. There was two small crabs in the dish, so there weren't much to eat, and the taste of the wine was too strong. I couldn't quite take the second bite. The other two dishes were quite good; can definitely try the prawns, big and juicy. My mother had a bowl of "si zhun" noodles, seems quite good as well.

There is also a time limit for eating there, approx. 2 hours. The waiters come by every now and then to ask you if there's anything else you'd like to order. A little bit pushy by the end of our meal.
