Sea Cucumber with Spring Onion & Shrimp Roe $98 is
not a low-priced dish. We basically do not want to eat too much meat.
Absorbing the taste of spring onion and roe, sea cucumber becomes tasty.
Sea cucumber is small-sized but in good quality, texture and shape.
BTW, again, sea cucumber is a rich supply of collagen.
Dried
Fried Chicken $62 is a dish not recommended to order, even though it is
served in a presentable manner. Since the chicken is chilled, we cannot
expect its texture is bouncy; this would greatly affect the overall
score of this dish. We should be solely responsible for the fault and
should not blame the restaurant.
Noodle with Green Onion
& Parsley $30 is recommended to order. When it is served to us, we
can smell the tasty flavor already. Green onion and parsley have a
synergistic effect to enhance the taste of noodle. Noodle texture is
average.

We
have dined in Modern China Restaurant before, but it is the first time
to visit the one in Times Square. It seems that all the 3 branches are
of similar design and interior decoration, giving us a spacious and
comfortable feeling.
3 dishes are ordered; the bill is $228
(average per head $114). Sea cucumber and noodle are of good quality;
originally we guess our rate would be 4/5. But the fried chicken is not
tasty and it is chilled. We are indebted not to set a higher evaluation
system before the fried chicken is ordered. If we order Xiao Long Bao
(steamed pork dumplings) instead, the meal would become one with higher
quality.
Frankly, food taste and presentation are not bad. In
view of price, it is anyway not in the low category as the restaurant is
located in Causeway Bay. Modern China Restaurant should be one with a
bit above average food quality, no matter which dishes you have ordered.
