More feast for the eyes—and reasons to go camera-crazy—when one arrives at the impressive entrance that features, yes, more sculptures and large heavy wooden doors completed with golden fittings.
And this restaurant has lots of beautiful, intricate lanterns hanging from the ceiling, brightening up the whole place. Parts of the walls are decorated with white painted wooden lattices with golden motifs while the plush chairs all have ornate golden designs on them. The setting of this restaurant is the definition of Chinese opulence.
Double Prosperity Baby Kailan is one of this place’s specialty, and I say this is a must-try due to the novelty of deep fried Kailan. The thin slivers of crispy kailan, with salted deep fried white baits added for dashes of saltiness, is a joy to munch on because of its unique texture. The accompanying stir fried kailan is good also due to the tender but crunchy texture and the slices of garlic added for the extra oomph.
Signature Chicken is very flavourful due to the thick somewhat sweet sauce coating the drumsticks and wings. But this dish does seem ordinary as compared to the kailan since it has nothing special going for it.
Ee fu noodles with crabmeat is cooked just right: smooth texture, flavours thoroughly seep into the noodles and not soggy. It looks like it is meant for three persons, but two of us manage to finish it as it is so favourful. But I feel the crabmeat is bland and does not add much to the dish. Need to find out if there is another more wallet-friendly version of ee fu noodles that does not have crab meat.
Service is decent, and the managers are very friendly and professional.
I think this restaurant is a wonderful choice for gatherings or to impress because the ambience here is unparalleled and the food is good.
My Thoughts: Wow, Nice!
