We
are not familiar with Tai Po and just want to have a casual lunch. But
on Sunday, it is not easy to have a table in Chinese restaurant. A menu
on a stand outside Chuen Wu Kitchen attracts us. Besides, the restaurant
is also nicely decorated, in terms of color and lighting. At least this gives
us a comfortable feeling in the very beginning. This restaurant can
serve 35 customers at the same time.
We
in fact are not sure whether lunch set is still available on Sunday.
Even though it is not available, the price difference should be small.
We order 3 lunch sets. Each includes a bowl of noodle, a plate of
dumpling and free Chinese tea .
Shanghai noodle in soup with smoked sliced fish is quite good. The
fish should have absorbed sufficient soy sauce for a period but is not
too salty. Meat is still juicy.
Shanghai noodle in soup with pork chop is average and has nothing
special. A pity is that the Shanghai noodle is not good in taste, and
there is still a smell of soda lime.
There is also nothing special for the bowl of noodle in "Shanghai
noodle in soup with pickled mustard and shredded pork". In fact, the
portion of noodle is not small. For a lunch set of $32, we cannot expect
more.
For
the dumplings, all are good in taste and still hot. The standard of
dumplings is very much better than that of noodles mentioned before.
Vegetable-pork dumpling is good. Steamed Shanghai baby pork dumpling is
juicy but not too salty. Skin is not too thick. Pan-fried pork dumpling is already fully cooked, the base is crispy but not too oily.
In
the midst of our lunch, we are not sure whether weekday price of lunch
set is still applicable on Sunday. The waitress said it is still
applicable on Sunday, though in the menu, weekday price is available
from Monday to Friday only. When we pay the bill, it is $106 for 3 lunch sets. It is too cheap (in view of food portion and combination) but delicious.
Only complaint is that the toilet is too far away from the restaurant,
and is not hygienic. Maybe, because of the low price, we have not set a
high level of expectation. All the foods here are already value for
money.
