A bit oily but nevetheless tasty, I could actually have plates and plates of this just for snacks. The mince pork that accompanie
This is a place that I come over and over again as it offers a good range of comfort food. Well at least to be they are comforting. Usually here for the dim sum n porridge. Never tried the main dinner dishes through.
We started with a plate of French Beans or is it called string beans, oh well... I like my string / french beans fried till soft, so this is good for me. A bit oily but nevetheless tasty, I could actually have plates and plates of this just for snacks. The mince pork that accompanies complimented well with the dish. Probably good with a bowl of plain porridge.
My 2 other friends ordered Prawnballs porridge, another ordered Beef Brisket noodles. I ordered the Grass Carp Belly with Century Eggs. All of us liked our porridge. Indeed very delicious. I have a soft spot for fish belly despite the many bones in it. I love the fatty flavour that oozes out when you sink your teeth into the fish. Congee was overall very fine, probably cooked for many many hours. I wonder how do we achieve just texture and consistency at home. Can someone tell me the secret to smooth, non grainy cantonese congee? My other friend who has the beef brisket noodles was also very satisfied with her mains. Seems like she was given many pieces of briskets, quite a value for money dish.
We ordered a combination of pork and roasted duck to share. It was not bad, both were rather crispy. I love the pork, gives out a crackling sound when you bite into it. Good amount of fats and of course cholestrol. Overall a very satisfying meal, will definitely come again. Be warned though that it can get rather quiet. Dinner time on a thursday was not too bad, I could get a seat quite easily at 730, but it became a little crowded at about 8pm.
Be prepared to wait if you come during the weekend, it is a common sight to see a queue for the lunch dim sum.
