Here's what we had:-
The fish came in a thick dark sauce so much so that we could hardly make out the fish. After digging in, we found it was actually half a fish (one side only) ? Very strange for tilapia to be served this way. The sauce was suitably sour but is was much to starchy for our liking. And at RM33, it was pretty steep as well for half a fish.
Verdict : OK only
This is one dish we order when we want to test a restaurant. A pretty simple dish but sometimes difficult to execute. The dish here was done well with the pork slices crispy and the sauce sweet and sour (like is is supposed to be).
Verdict : Very good
A piece of deep fried taufoo topped with minced meat and some sort of vegetable - couldn't quite make it out. Tasted good but not really exceptional.
Verdict : Good
I had to Google to find the correct translation for gobo which is burdock root. Supposedly a medicinal root, this dish was much appreciated by my mother-in-law. I found it rather plain. It was RM18 for a pretty small serving but I'll give it extra points for the medicinal properties.
Verdict : Good
This was rather flat and tasteless.
Verdict : Poor
Prices are a tad higher at their new premises. And the clean new floors really show up the dirt. Not very clean downstairs. Maybe the air-cond section upstairs would have been a better choice.You can read our previous review of this restaurant for some of our favorites.

Even before I stepped into the new restaurant, I had voiced my reservations about this place - my last 3-4 visits here (the old place) was NOT memorable - Yes! they do have good photos, they have long list on the menu and very innovative dishes and very nice people running the place, but taste wise, something was missing - nothing memorable.
ReplyDeleteHaving dinner here today, went on to affirm what I've been saying - nothing fantastic. What was more disappointing was the price - it seems to be going up all the time. These fancy name dishes with fancy toppings - they also come at fancy prices, be warned, but no fancy memories to remember them by. I am starting to have my doubts about this place.
That said, if you want something fancy and now with air-cond. environment, here is a new place for you. Fancy Yes!
We'll I guess thats the price of success. After being featured on TV's Ho Chak programme, customers came in droves, so much so that it became almost impossible to eat here on Saturdays and Sundays. The new premises with more tables seems to have solved the capacity problem but the food quality has deteriorated.
ReplyDeleteWell there's only so much that one chef can do so I guess he has passed some duties to his Myanmarese cooks. I recall once when we went to the old place, they introduced us to a chicken dish which was the specialty of the Myanmarese cooks - a kind of sour curry.
