Hence, I was quite surprised when I discovered that there is actually a branch operating at Orchard road.
The restaurant is not big but sits quite a lot of people so it felt a little squeezy. Well, we were still grateful that the staff did not ask us to 搭枱, which in Cantonese means to share table, a common sight in Hong Kong cafeteria.
As usual, we ordered a small variety to try.
The Drunken Chicken in ShaoXing Wine 绍兴醉鸡 is a cold side dish that has a subtle alcohol fragrance. The chicken was cool and refreshing and acted as a nice start to the meal.
The Sliced Threadfin Congee 生滚午鱼片粥 was very smooth and the sliced threadfin in it was light and soft. However, I still prefer the congee that I had at Mui Kee in Hong Kong as it tasted thicker and more gooey. Of course, we had the congee with Crispy Dough Fritters 酥脆炸油条 which was crispy like its name indicated and soaked up the congee perfectly.
The Beef Brisket Dry Noodle 牛腩干面 was not outshined by the congee. The beef brisket was extremely tender and melted in the mouth instantaneously. The noodle was springy too. The only lacking part was that the soup that came with the noodle was just average.
Some people say that congee is food consumed only when we feel unwell. I do not agree. What do you think?
