heard of this restaurant for a while but it was our 1st visit yesterday.. & we re-visited again tonite for dinner..

for yesterday, we went there for afternoon tea.. (well, we didn't have lunch in fact).. it was crowded in tea time & we had to wait for a while before getting a table.. while waiting, we noticed that there were lots of newspaper clippings posted on their entrance windows.. introducing some of their special food (i believe).. & looking at their menu (which had pictures on it), there were lot of choices.. over 20 Special Tea Sets.. & many different sets for breakfast & lunch too..

so, each of us ordered a Special Tea Set..
(sorry for unclear pics as i forgot to bring my camera.. had to use my cell instead..)

Yunnan Vermicelli w/ Squid Ball & Seaweed in Fish Broth
魚翅骨豬骨湯紫菜墨魚丸米線
friends said that their Yunnan Vermicelli was good.. & yes, i think so.. i especially love the squid balls.. & it's funny that the vermicelli came with winter-melon (冬瓜).. i seldom had noodle with this..


Thick Toast in Japan Style 東瀛厚燒吐司
looked very special to us.. thick toast covered with cheese & condensed milk (練奶), minced pork (肉鬆) inside.. yummy!!






Pork Chop Bun 豬扒飽
crispy & the pork chop tasted good..





tonite, 4 of us went there for dinner & it was already packed when we arrived at ~7pm.. more than 10 people waiting.. & here's what we had..

Shrimp Toast 黃金蝦多士
it LOOKED nice but too greasy for me..


Minced Pork Fried Rice in Thai Style (Spicy) 泰式辣肉鬆炒飯
seems like all of us like this one the most.. a bit spicy but all the ingredients together made a good taste..


杏汁忌廉汁豬扒焗飯
it's special than the usual cream sauce, but the pork chop was a bit overly-spiced..


Malaysia Curry Chicken Rice 馬來咖喱雞飯
their curry was spicy but it's good to eat with rice..






& i also tried their special drink.. Green Tea Coffee Milkshake 抹茶意式濃咖啡奶昔.. very rich & very full..




here are the "not-so-good" food according to my friends/relatives who have been there for several times:
Steamed Chicken w/ Ginger Sauce 海南雞飯
Baked Pork Chop Rice 焗豬扒飯
Crab Roes w/ Seafood Fried Rice 日式明太子海鮮炒飯
King Prawn & Crab Roes w/ Salad 大蝦蟹子沙律

despite the above, their comments towards this restaurant were good as there were still lots of choices other than the above.. ^_^
