This restaurant is hidden from sight and has 2 sections. One is a fast food outlet selling rice boxes and similar items but the entrance from the lobby of the YWCA Hotel leads to a very spacious and comfortable restaurant nicely decorated offering many good traditional Cantonese dishes. It has been a year since I first came here, again hosted by my foodie cousin. This time I brought a real camera and didn't have to take pictures with my phone. So I think it deserves another review since it seems to be a restaurant very little known.
Then it was snake soup served with all the correct condiments. I never know whether it's the soup I like or the crunchy fried snacks that you put on top that makes me like this dish. Anyway, the soup was nicely flavoured , hot and well seasoned. A nice surprise!
The third dish is also one of my favourite dishes. Braised golden oysters. These are oysters that are semi dried and braised in a sweet and savoury sauce. It has been a long time since I have had golden oysters and I almost forgot that this dish existed. Again, it was cooked really nicely and so far the meal was very impressive
Next was a steamed fish. With the fish came the manager of the restaurant and chef to check if everything was all right. It isn't common for a Chinese restaurant chef to come out to greet customers, so it was a nice touch. We found that he used to work for the Maxim group and he told us that the fish was a deep sea fish, not a bred fish and so tastes much more fresh. The taste of the sauce was just right but I found the fish a bit overcooked. By this time, I was also a bit full.
There was only a little space for the braised duck which is a dish that Lin Hueng Restaurant does very nicely. I have the say the one that night was delicious too. Really showed the chef is experienced and skilled. Too full and so had only a little.
The last dish was a big plate of fried Kai Lan vegetables. Not overcooked, very green and refreshing. Ate a lot even though I was more than full
