Sichuan hot and sour soup with crab meat This had crunch and texture to it and that elevated it about the average masses.\u00a0 Homemade bean curd with vegetarian ham, shimeji mushrooms and dried scallops The standout of the evening.\u00a0 OMG! I had never tasted beancurd like that.\u00a0 It was firm to the touch of my chopsticks but when you bite into it, it was so smooth.\u00a0 The taste was so light, so light. OMG!\u00a0 I watch Japan Hour, a travel program on Japan shown on Channel Newsasia.\u00a0 Occasionally, they would showcase a restaurant where the beancurd is made with spring water.\u00a0 Spring water?!\u00a0 I can\u2019t wait to taste it myself.\u00a0 Nihon ni ikimashio! I would have preferred the sauce of this dish to be lighter.\u00a0 It was a little too heavy for my taste.\u00a0 The spinach was a very welcomed balance to the other meatier, starchier dishes.\u00a0 Wok-fried US beef with green asparagus in red wine sauce Hmmm\u2026.this is a pretty western dish in a traditional-looking restaurant.\u00a0 US beef.\u00a0 Succulent. Fried rice with lobster meat and chili shrimp paste I usually like my fried rice salty and hot from a lot of pepper.\u00a0 This doesn\u2019t taste like that but hey, perhaps it\u2019s just a different style. Chilled mango sago cream This is another highlight of the meal.\u00a0 I like the decidedly east meets west approach of pairing\u00a0 sago (Asian, traditional) with ice-cream (western). The restaurant serves Tie Guan Yin tea as a welcome.\u00a0 The jasmine tea I chose to accompany my meal was the second best thing of the night (the first being the beancurd).\u00a0 Though I am not usually a Chinese tea drinker, I really enjoyed the tea and its fragrance.\u00a0 I like that they place a tealight under the teapot to keep the tea warm. Like certain movie stars who look great on film and in photos, but really look quite ordinary in person, this restaurant photographs better than it looks.\u00a0 It\u2019s not ugly but it really shines on digital. The restaurant is quiet and the service attentive.\u00a0 It is a good place to enjoy a quiet Chinese meal and unwind from the traffic.\u00a0 Above all, come for the beancurd.\u00a0 IT IS WORTH IT."}
