Grief Ah, if it were so light, great decor and presentation, I would say that the food is more solid here. There are some ambitious dishes, but a lot of it just does not take away or adds to your original colleague too much. Grief I think of the price point I would rather consider to find a few authentic restaurants that are appropriate to each court as a fusion concept. It is still worth it to go at least once!

I think the only reason people come here is because of the dim lighting.  Otherwise the food is so blanketed with chilli you can't actually taste anything - just over spice your own cooking and save the $. Completely over rated.

Grief Grief The opposite, but that goes on the ground floor and in the dining area, the decor gives the feeling of going to oriental history. Visually. Grief Grief Grief Now for the food. Grief Kingfish with black sesame was a very fascinating combination with a hit of Chili. Can not say if I would get it again or not. Make sure a dish is tried out because you will not see this otherwise. Grief Grief Do not stir fried chilli shrimp with salted duck egg, as you can find on most other Chinese restaurants. This is actually stirred fried, peeled shrimp in a chilly curry that has some ducky. Normally, the shrimp is expected to be coated in dough, then rolled into the duck egg crumbs, but this was not the case. A good dish, but it's pretty sharp. Grief Grief The blue-eyed ruling fillet is indeed a 3x6-inch filet covered in inlaid green chili and red chili. Very nice piece of fish with a good simple sauce, very overlapped with chili, but not sure if the one filet is worth the 45 dollar on the plate. Grief Grief Guangxi-Style Crisp Brat Schweschwine Bully had a really nice crunch and a lot of pork, but the flavors tasted more Thai as Chinese, which I do not quite understand. Grief Grief The aperitif that came with the check: chocolate and orange Ganache was probably the most surprising highlight of the evening, the waiter joked even the kitchen to hide them from the staff :) (This seems pretty inconsticity, as the hosts celebrate palate Should Asian food it is not?) Grief Overall, the food was quite average and tastes exactly what it is, Chinese food that is refined by Western influence, which does not meet the kitchen justice despite the fresh ingredients. It just seems to be missing a bit of aroma cohesion as a whole. I will probably only come back to taste the signature dishes like the kungpoo chicken, the hot pot and lamb dumplings. Grief Grief Food: 7/10 Service: 9/10 Atmosphere: 9/10 Grief (Page Note: Why does my Zodiac drink the pig most expensive, all around 32 dollars. Close so good Lychee and everything, but compared to the other 20-dollar cocktails it could not justify it haha) Grief
