Good thing we called ahead to book. On a Sunday nite, we arrived at 7 sharp and got the last table. By 715 the place was packed with groups waiting both in and outside the restaurant.Service was below par since they were quite understaffed. We asked to order beer twice, before it came, and 3 times for the plain rice.The waiters were quite forgetful guess because they were too busy. When asked to add some items, they simply say yes to you without putting the order into the POS. On the good side,
Service was below par since they were quite understaffed. We asked to order beer twice, before it came, and 3 times for the plain rice.
The waiters were quite forgetful guess because they were too busy. When asked to add some items, they simply say yes to you without putting the order into the POS. On the good side, after chasing the yellow rice twice and found out we actually have no space left to accommodate it, they didn't mind cancelling it for us.
My advise is to order everything at once so the order goes into the pos and makes it into the kitchen.
Whole meal came to $596. Which wasn't cheap but neither expensive. Given the limited choices on the island, others being "Satay Inn" and "Nam Ah", I will visit this place again.
We had the folowing
Beef satay. I had 2 sticks, the first one was tender and juicy with the appropriate bbq flavour. The 2nd one, which I waited 20 minutes before consuming, became quite hard and tough. Now I understand why some places like to serve these on a grill or hotplate, they need to be eaten hot. The sauce was quite peanutty and sweet. I don't seem to be able to find the orange satay sauce where they add chilli oil and coconut paste anymore in HK.
1/2 Hainan Chicken
Chicken was tender and boneless as usual, I would say almost juicy, the chicken flavour wasn't too intense but neither did it carry any frozen/chilled aftertaste, which was good. The skin this time round, wasn't as thin or "crispy" as before, still the fat underneath the skin was minimal.
Sauces were the stand set with the minced ginger, hot and sour sauce, and darkened soy. Good to go with rice.
Highlight of the meal. Curried King Prawns.
This dish came with 5 king prawns at $19x, I won't say the prawns were too big, but they were fresh and cooked just right. It came in a humongous bowl, and plenty plenty of curry sauce. The sauce wasn't fiery, but was quite spicy and flavourful. Reminded me of thai curry crab's sauce, but alot more intense. I couldn't help drooling just looking at the sauce. Fortunately the restaurant didn't use much coconut paste or oil. I liked this dish very much. We ordered plain rice and roti to soak up all the goodness. Will definitely order this dish again. Or at least something with the same sauce.
Roti. They had a cook working behind a showcase making these fresh, but it could have been more fluffy.
Stir fried "tung choi" (hollow vegetable) with salted fish. Flavour was strong and the restaurant wasn't stingy at all in using the salted fish.
Fukien fried noodles. Don't think many malaysian restaurants in HK carry this dish, in fact Sabah is the first one I noticed. I ordered this because I saw some especially good comments regarding the dish on Openrice.
Basically it's oil noodles stir fried in sweetened dark soy sauce. according to what I read, it's supposed to carry some crispy pork fat but I couldn't find any, probably bcos I only had a taste of the dish. I find it to be too "wet" and sweet to my liking, if I had it my way, it should be dried carrying the "stir fried" flavour.
According to mom, it should taste somewhat like Stir fried thick noodles shanghai style.
