We arranged a private dinner set & the food was great: braised whole comb sharksfin with fish maw was rich & flavorsome; steamed white cabbage with mushrooms, Jinghua ham (?) & dried scallops was soft & intensely flavored; deep-fried crabmeat balls & prawn salad with fruits (including attap seeds & sea coconut!); a very well-done steamed giant pomfret; braised sea cucumber with broccoli (the vegie was poached in stock instead of water, giving it a nice flavor), and stir-fried noodles with pork & shrimp. Only "complaint": the chef (proprietor, Dato' Tan himself) seems to have a heavy hand with the salt/soysauce. But otherwise, great food all round.Petenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8209805071205880510.post-54589917131234211992009-07-21T21:45:22.006+08:002009-07-21T21:45:22.006+08:00wow... nice restaurant... you pay for the deco too...wow... nice restaurant... you pay for the deco too. :-) Your photos are great....
