Having heard so much praise about this restaurant, I’d been really looking forward to trying it. I really wanted to like this place. But sadly, I’m afraid the food, for me, was not good as it is made out to be. Perhaps it was anomalously off its game that night? 萬壽果牛肋肉The meat was tender and the use of papaya is unique. That being said, I felt the papaya was somehow not brought out enough. I know it’s not meant to outshine the meat, but it could still have been allowed a stronger presence,
萬壽果牛肋肉
The meat was tender and the use of papaya is unique. That being said, I felt the papaya was somehow not brought out enough. I know it’s not meant to outshine the meat, but it could still have been allowed a stronger presence, instead of being overshadowed by the sauce (what would happen if the sauce was replaced by papaya puree?..just a thought). On the whole, it was really just another beef dish to me, and tender though it was, there was nothing else that struck me as anything special. 鳳凰三色蛋
This was a beautiful creation. It sort of transforms the old concept of 三色蛋 into a fresh and interesting work of art – a primitive commonplace food into something delicate and fitting on a fine-dining table. They were like shining, golden pieces of mosaic tiles. The respective tastes and textures of the three different eggs were well preserved as well. 翡翠口袋豆腐
This was merely alright. There was nothing wrong with it, apart from maybe a blander taste than expected, but nothing about it was really good. 茶粿
I found this quite disappointing. The skin was quite thick, which was made even worse by the small size of the dumpling. The filling was therefore quite scant. I also felt that the skin could have been more chewy, rather than just soft. 炆魚嘴
This dish surprised us by being pieces of fish head, rather than just pieces of the mouth. Not being a fan of fish heads, it may not be fair for me to critique it. Anyhow - we were told it would be very flavoursome, and it was, but I just felt like it was a bit too much like the average fish-head dish eaten at other ordinary Chinese places along with sizzling plates and the like. 芝麻卷 , 紅豆糕
The sesame roll dessert was very soft but lacking in sesame taste… shame. The red bean one was quite fragrant, but again, it’s quite… plain.
[…why do Chinese fine-dining restaurants love serving really ordinary dessert items (which may often be found being sold on the side of the road in big crude pieces) in the form of dainty, expensive ones…? Weird.]
生磨蛋白杏仁露
This is a famous dessert here… but to be honest, though the egg white was skillfully whisked in, I was disappointed with the somewhat weak taste of almond... All in all, the dinner wasn’t bad, but I just felt like it could have been better. This is actually a compliment, since it means I feel like it’s got the potential to do so much better.
