Chose to dine at this Chinese eatery at Jardine House as it provided credit card bonuses and because we ran out of places to choose from. This dinner turned out to be an unexpectedly good one.
The elegant floral design and furnishings plus the speedy food delivery won our praise; though some aged diners dislike dishes "being piled up all at once" on the table - one could relay special requests to the staff in that case, of course. The alcohol-based (Hua Diao) egg custard with prawn ball was very smooth to the palate and the prawn was huge yet convincingly genuine (compared to some places serving humongous prawn balls which appeared artificial and man-made). The vegetarian dish with well boiled pumpkin (golden with autumn sweetness) and lightly stir fried vegetables and mushrooms was exemplary - the ingredients might appear mundane, yet the taste and flavour was well preserved and one could savour the greens of the season. The fish maw noodles was fair, the noodles were al dente and not dry and the amount of fish maw was satisfactory (Chinese patrons somehow would feel cheated if the portion of expensive foodstuff was too small). The roast cod was rich with just the right proportion of fat to render the dish excellent, and the matching crispy rice crackers added to its complexity.
The food and the good value-for-money (with credit card discount) with acceptable service together helped this place make it to our "encore list". At $240 per capita (credit card 25% off) it is hard to beat.
