Read MoreFirst, let not the price scared you because if you do the math. The amount you pay at other places may be slightly less than this but the experience of your taste buds here will convey a much better value and enjoyment. The culinary skills of the chef is legit... At least on the dishes we ordered.
In summary:
1. Service is excellent. Very courteous and attentive. However, when ithe restaurant was complete full, you can see a little bit of catching up.
2. Foods were amazing. Quality was very good.
The pork it use for the 梅菜扣肉 was extraordinary. It's got layers of thin fat with meat. The sliced of pork was intact with good texture and not falling apart which you can experienced in even good banquet style Chinese restaurants. The skin is crisp not too soft. Personally, I prefer the 梅菜 to be sweeter. I found it a little salty.
The sweet and sour pork maintain its crunchiness within the sauce means they know how to do it right. Such as amount of oil add to the sauce to maintain the batter crunchiness.
The soup was excellent, use very good ingredients. The fish stomach was of very good quality. You can tell by the rich flavor and the texture.
The BBQ pork was top notch. The sauce was perfectly balanced not too sweet but sweet enough. The pork was of excellent quality. You have to get fatty one to make bbq pork and the pork meat was tender. There are some crispiness on the meat. Very well done.
Thousand layers cake was legit. They know how to use the authentic and proper ingredients to make it. Salty egg, probably lard, very fluffy yet texture is slightly firm.
Listen, if we are talking about the quality and skills and it's bar none. Value is definitely there with the kind of quality and culinary skills but it's not cheap.
Honestly, I've been to Michelin star Chinese restaurants in HK, this is at similar level. The dishes they made is not fancy with design etc. Just authentic quality Chinese food but when you talk about skills, techniques and taste, one would wonder if the chef has Michelin star aspiration. Nevertheless, the skills are there, but if you want to shoot for the stars, there are a few things need to improve.... Mostly about the interior design, restaurant settings, tableware and ramekins etc. The servers were great but for star level, there is more refining.
All in all, I'm impressed with the food at this restaurant. Regardless of what the chef's aspiration, as a patron, we are fortunate to enjoy some quality culinary skills.
