Tried the two new dishes, the crispy prawn rice roll, and the prawn congee with lobster broth, in addition to that, I also got the usual fried dough rice roll and noodles.
For the crispy prawn roll, I was expecting the prawns to be crispy.
They were not at all, infact I couldn’t find any traces of batter.
It was just the normal prawns wrapped in rice roll and cut in six pieces and topped with floss as shown in the product picture.
As for the golden prawn congee, it was nothing like the product picture.
The product picture looked like lobster bisque topped with sliced fried dough sticks and spring onion.
The name of the congee was a bit misleading, because there was no prawns, only lobster balls, which is makes it cheap, also I couldn’t taste any lobster or prawn in the congee.
So it was over priced for $30 when it had cheap lobster balls that can be found in $18-20 noodles.
Anyway, I may give it a second try, as the branch I went to may not have been educated to make them.
Overall, their normal stuff tastes better than the news dishes.
