From the recommendation of the server we ordered a BBQ Kurobuta Pork Loin, a Smoked Chicken with Oolong, a pot of Hot and Sour Soup, Seasonal Vegetable and a Rice Vermicelli with Conpoy. The BBQ pork was nicely prepared, tender and juicy, and certainly a good char siu in any standard. But on the other hand it did not have enough fat to provide that oily charred smell.
The chicken is a bit mediocre for me, with good smoky aroma and palate but the oolong tea was not particularly stood out. It was still a nice dish, just that if it is a signature dish I would be a bit disappointed.
The hot and sour soup is very good, as I always prefer such soup to have sufficient hot and spicy palate, and this one can deliver that. Lots of ingredients, the soup also was served hot (in temperature) which is another critical element as a lukewarm one would bring a big deterioration in the quality.
The vegetable we chose was choy sum, fresh and crisp, prepared with broth which absorbed the flavors so it is healthy and without oil. A fairly good dish but nothing special there.
To wrap up we have the rice vermicelli with conpoy, which is well made as the vermicelli did not stick together and the conpoy and bean sprout adding the flavors and texture to make it both filling and flavorful.One big negative comment however is the poor service we received during the meal. There were not much attention to our table throughout. Our dirty dishes were not replaced, no one come to at least offer to divide the soup for us, and of course no one come to at least check how we are doing. Considering this is a restaurant in a 5-star hotel that I would say is unacceptable.
Our bill totaled $1,000 for 4 which was very reasonably priced, and my overall rating is 58/100.
