Came here randomly because there were not many people dining there that day.
Usually it is packed with people.
As it wasnt planned I forgot to bring my camera.
The service here is extremely efficient, when I entered, there was'nt a table but I was allowed to sit on a big table and browse the lunch menu whilst the smaller table was being cleared.
Then I was allocated the smaller table, and within minutes there was a bowl of soup placed on my table.
The soup was wintermelon soup, there were generous pieces of wintermelon and lots of spring onions, it was quite peppery and slightly too salty.
For $65 there are about ten choices of dishes, the ones that I could remember were:
sliced chicken hainan style with rice
sweet and sour pork
stir fried beef in black pepper and rice
satay chicken with fried rice
thai fried noodles in sauce
thai fried cambodian noodles with chicken
green curry with rice
I chose the green curry and thai fried cambodian noodles with chicken.
The food came very fast, but because some of the dishes came really quickly it made the other dishes appear slower, but in any rate the slow ones were still faster than the usual places.
The green curry was served on a big piece of lettuce draped on the plate with a side of rice, in the curry was green aubergines.
The green curry was lightly drizzled with some coconut sauce.
As for the noodles, it was thoughtfully served because the crushed peanuts and chili were put on the side of the plate which saves the trouble for people who request it without peanuts or chili.
The noodles were slightly too greasy for me, but it tasted Ok, a mixture of sweet, sour and spicyness, but I found it too sweet.
There was a drink included so I chose tea, and lemon tea.
The tea was not the HK type served with condensed milk, but both the tea and lemon tea tasted interesting, it was not the normal tea.
The colour of the lemon tea was reddish brown, but it tasted like black tea, it tasted like strong Assam tea and Darjeeling.
The tea with milk was also the same but with fresh milk added.
Both were very appropriate after having really spicy food because they had a natrual sweetness to it.
When the food was nearly been finished, the desserts were placed on the table.
The dessert looked like birds nest , but it was congee, except that the grains of rice were glutinous rice which were translucent.
It had longan berries in it too (dragon eye/lung ngan) which were quite nice because they were not that sweet.
Overall the dessert was brilliant because it wasnt that sweet and it was very light in taste. I could also taste some pandan essense in it as well.
For $65, it was quite a good deal because it came with soup, drink and a dessert.
The menu states that only a drink comes with a meal, so maybe it was a bonus for a limited time.
There were also two menus outside, one excluding 10% charge with sets priced around $62, and the other is $65 per lunch set without service charge, both prices work out to be roughly the same.
