This little restaurant used to look rather run-down, was rather dirty and typically unattractive with no real appeal in its physical appearance, but the BBQ duck, roast pork and BBQ pork from there was fantastic and their servings were rather generous, something that brings its customers back to their restaurant. But after a long and much needed renovation, the restaurant looks very nice and fancy. I was pleasantly surprised by the fresh, modern deco, but unfortunately, that's about where it stopped.
They say don't judge a book by its cover, and rightly so, although a huge improvement in the deco and the overall appearance of the place, I can't say that the quality of the food remained the way it was.
For the price we paid the dishes we got were unbelievably small - not enough for 7 people to taste the dish. The staff were only helpful to the customers who had wine and what not and forgot about what we asked for (and they weren't even busy) - the taste is average too.
BBQ trio - look how small the serving is..
BBQ Duck, Roast Pork, BBQ Pork
Jelly Fish
Sweet and Sour Pork
Chilli Prawns

Sizzling Tofu
I wouldn't go back. In face, I felt as though I wasted an evening even going there, bad choice on my part, should have gone next door to Dragon Palace and would have paid the same price/same bill but with better chinese food. ALSO granted the first two photos of this post are half eaten but the rest are the exact serving size they served to us and as you can see it's ridiculously small.
It's obvious that half of the dishes you took photos of were half eaten already so the portions aren't as small as to the ones in your photos.
ReplyDeleteThe price is not expensive at all if you compare it with other gratifying and decent chinese restaurant. Also the staffs there are more professional than most other chinese restaurants if you like to compare.
People who actually knows what edible and good chinese food are would not choose Dragon Palace, if you work there and see how they store their ingredients before serving then you would not go there again.
