I've got a recommendation to make too! But being the greedy pig i am, it has to be about food of course. (not suitable for vegetarians unfortunately, cuz i'm ANTI-VEGGIE remember?!?!) ALL HAIL THE CARNIVORES!
Recommendation of the day: TUNGLOK Teahouse Restaurant
Dinner Ala Carte Buffet (Min 4 persons)
$28+++ per pax but 4th person dines for free
First and foremost, THE BUDGET.. the most important consideration in any meal. The 4 of us ramped up a total bill of $106, which works out to be approximately $25 per person. Just hold that thought for a moment. No.. $25 per pax is not ex at all after you hear what we had for dinner!
1) Sharkfin's soup (limited to one serving per pax)
2) Herbal Prawns
3) Peking Duck Roll
4) Jellyfish
5) Mini octopus
6) scallop, squid with celery (my fave dish)
7) veal in some sauce i cant rem
8) fried fish
9) more fried fish but with more sauce this time
10)har kau
11)Szechuan hot and sour soup
12)Herbal chicken
13)Roast platter that consisted of char siew and roast duck
14)Braised E-fu noodles
15)desserts - mango pudding, cheng teng, gui lin gao, red bean soup and riceball
It's ala carte buffet which means you can order much more if you can stomach all that food! So you see, $106 for 15 dishes isnt expensive at all.. it works out to be $7 per dish! This is at a TUNG LOK restaurant, mind you, and for that, it's freaking cheap! All the dishes were at least average tasting, a number of them were above average! i dun recall a single dish that we didnt like at all..
Strictly speaking, $28+++ is still considered high cost for poor students like us. But it's definitely worth a try so i suggest getting your parents down to eat (and pay) instead!
