There is a Queue sign outside the restaurant with the arrow pointing to the left, but strangely, the queue always forms on the right side!
We waited for awhile to get a table, and I started snapping some shots as soon as we were seated.
I think Tabasco sauce placed on the table just make it look so old school :)
The French Toast is J's favourite. It is delicious, but not as delicious as the Crystal Jade one. It is so sinful that I think only permanently skinny people like J can afford to eat it!! I usually just take one or two bites, and I make sure it's the portion of the bread where it's soaked with butter and syrup! :)
This is another of J's favourite - black sesame paste with dumplings. I like black sesame paste and dumplings, if they are served separately! Somehow I don't think they go together! The thick consistency of the paste just doesn't complement the chewy and heavy dumplings.
I wanted to have something light, so ordered a Luncheon Meat "N" Egg sandwich. You can hardly see the fillings in between the 3 slices of bread! And the bread was chewy! This happens when you don't toast the bread enough, and it's an in-between texture of toasted and soft white bread? You have to try it to know what I mean.
Anyway, I had to deconstruct the sandwich to see if there really is an egg inside.
The egg is there alright, but it's so much thinner than the bread! :( Very disappointing indeed. And they used some mayonnaise that was so sweet that it tasted like jam!
This is another of J's favourite - fried wantons. Hmmm...I don't like the fried wanton skin, because they just scream carcinogens to me! So I will just eat the small pocket of fried meat and leave the fried skin.
The food here is not fantastic, but I think they have a good variety and you are bound to find something to satisfy your hunger. We will be back - when we next feel peckish at night and have nowhere else to go. And I think I should stick to their popular "char chan teng" dishes :)
