Comments
Cabbage: Good, solid, and authentic.
Sour Pickle Fish: Acceptable. The fish was very fresh, but the vinegar flavor was overpowering instead of sour
Overall, this was a memorable meal with some absolute highlights.
Dry Pot Intestine: Disappointing. I’ve had this before, but it's my first time seeing it deep-fried. It was fried so heavily you wouldn't even know it was intestine.
Overall a mixed experience. The beef and cabbage were fantastic, but the fish and intestine missed the mark for me.
Fragrant chicken with chilli with bone was really good but bit pricey for the portion of the chicken.
Dry-wok squid with mixed vegetables was very flavourful and I'd go back to have this.
Overall the environment was family friendly, and the service was quick.
