However the steam rice was mixed with (leftover) dried cooked rice kernels, I had to spit them out otherwise they stick to my teeth and hurt when bite. I gave up eating one fourth into the meal. When I complained, the staff said that they cook new rice every morning and did not offer any remediation. Well, if a Chinese restaurant cannot cook rice right, what else can you expect. Anyway, I won't go back again.

Allen is usually there and we chat for a minute or two. Have been coming this location for many years, even before Allan took it over. What really impresses me, aside from the tasty food is the number of dishes and variety available. It was a favourite lunch time stop when I worked in the area and was there at least 3 times a week. It took a long time to sort out many of the Oriental food purveyors. Depending on the chef, the food can be a little over oily at times.

The authenticity of the dishes is impressive, and I have no issues with the quality of the food, especially given the low prices. I chose this restaurant because many other Cantonese spots charge 50% more for the same level of quality.
