As we spend the night in the area for countdown, we decide to have dinner in this chinese restaurant. It looks quite grand from outside. The first level is for walk-in customers, while the upper level is for private kitchen. The restaurant looks quite grand with personal lifts within the restaurant.The 7 of us start the meal with Chrysanthuem Pu Er 菊普 ($3++/pax) tea for all.

Roasted Crispy Pork (Siu Yok), Barbeque Pork (Char Siu) and Roasted Duck.
The meat is served with plum sauce, mustard sauce and chilli sauce. The meats are well charred and tastes juicy and yummy.

It does not taste spicy but rather strong in a vinegar taste.
Double Steamed "Tian Ma" Fish Head Soup 天麻鱼头汤 (RM14.80++/ bowl)This soup is full of flavours. The fish is so tender that one can feel the bones melt in the mouth.
Double Boiled Soup of the Day 时日炖汤 (RM14.80++/bowl)
The soup of the day is Lotus root with pork rib soup. It tastes full bodied and flavourful.

The sliced fish looks more like deep fried than pan-fried.

I am surprised at its huge serving. The chicken is quite tender and flavourful.
Stir-fried Mixed Vegetables with Macadamia Nuts 雯果彩碟 (RM18.80++/small)This is the only dish in the restaurant which can be considered vegetarian according to the staff. It gives a nutty and crunchy texture.

I am a bit disappointed with this dish as I could find the salted egg yolk in it. The taste is also a bit too bland.
We end the meal with desserts such as Chilled Mango Sago with Pomelo 杨䃽甘露 (RM8.80++/glass), Glutinous Dumplings with Red Bean Paste 红豆沙汤丸 (RM7.80++/bowl), Teochew Sweet Yam Paste 潮州芋泥羮 (RM6.80++/bowl) and Almond Tea 手磨杏仁蛋白茶 (RM8.80++/bowl). But the desserts fail badly. The Chilled Mango Sago with Pomelo 杨䃽甘露 is served in glass, looking rather white, instead of the usual bright yellow in color. Although there is mango taste, but it is rather faint and I could not taste any pomelo in it.
The Glutinous Dumplings with Red Bean Paste 红豆沙汤丸 fairs slighlty better. The dumplings seems to be the supermarket pack type, based on the texture and the red paste is not quite smooth.
The Teochew Sweet Yam Paste 潮州芋泥羮 is worst that I have ever had before. It is too watery to be considered paste. It looks more like drinkable type than the oily smooth paste that one usually found in restaurants. It kinds of reminds one of the instant powder type with its taste. The Almond Tea 手磨杏仁蛋白茶 also tastes similar to the instant powder type, but it is not as watery as the yam paste. It is more the type that one usually found in Hong Kong style cha chaan teng cafes.Overall there is hits and misses in this restaurant. Best just have the main dishes and go other place for desserts. The desserts are simply a waste of money and stomach space. The service here is not bad, with tea refilled regularly. There is also free wifi been offered here. The place is quite crowded during peak dinner time, so best visit it early.
