it's a quiet restaurant on a quiet street in Tsim Sha Tsui, with an eclectic collection of paintings decorating the walls.A television shows the news on mute.
our waitress was friendly and efficient, and she recommended some moderately priced dishes. The food presentations were pleasing, apart from the appalling squiggles of mustard that decorated one dish.
the menu is very large, which makes it difficult to decide, and at lunch, there is even more on offer such as dim sum and set meals. We ordered the fresh yam with sesame dressing (HK$68) because it sounded intriguing. The yam turned out to be mountain yam, known for its slippery texture, but that meant the sauce failed to cling to it. For the steamed egg white with prawns (HK$138), the former was too firm (over-thickened, we think, with cornstarch) but the prawns on top were firm and crunchy. Sweet and sour pork with preserved egg and pickled shallots (HK$118) was flavourful, but the pork's batter was too thick.
