The menu drives people away because the options are weird.
For $102 you get a choice of vegetables, a choice of mains and two bowls of rice.
The reason it turns people away is that most of the choices on the mains are noodles or fried rice and then you get another two bowls of plain rice for what.
There is also a hidden charge for tea, which I sensed when I sat down because they were really pushy to get you to order tea ASAP.
The noodles I had were actually ok but I didn’t touch the rice because it was weird having rice with noodles and the rice was too hard to eat.
As for the vegetables, there was free newspaper clippings with it!
This is why I love Chinese food, there are so many fantastic unexpected surprises!
Anyway, they waived the tea charge for one person, which was so generous (NOT).
It is also interesting that on the menu, dessert is included but the staff don't tell you and when they finally do realize there is dessert, they said the red bean dessert is going to take time because it is not cooked yet.
Surely if dessert is on the menu, they should have it readily available because red bean dessert is a simple dessert that just needs to be kept warm in the saucepan.
