General Notes

Solid Cantonese restaurant in Millbrae. All the waitstaff spoke Cantonese to me, which was pretty interesting.


Dishes Tasted

  • ★☆☆☆ Jellyfish with Seaweed -- it's okay but the flavor and texture both leave a little bit to be desired.
  • ★★★★ Roast Squab -- crispy skin, super tender / juicy meat. Perfectly seasoned. Squab feels like it's really easy to overcook, but this was absolutely delicious; I am pleasantly surprised.
  • ★★☆☆ Golden Fried Rice with Black Truffle -- decent fried rice, you can definitely taste the truffle flavor, not a huge fan of all the mushrooms though
  • ★★★☆ Watercress with Fish Paste -- watercress blanched in fish broth, served with fish paste, goji berries, and some other miscellaneous things. This method of cooking is called 上汤; I was skeptical at first but it's very good! The broth is delicious, super flavorful. The fish paste has a little bit of tangerine peel flavor, which is interesting. Watercress is cooked well.
  • ★★★☆ Chicken Feet -- this was prepared surprisingly well -- perhaps from the way it was fried, the texture was excellent and bubbly
