Dinner Appointment on 24 Sep 08

On last Wednesday, our family planned to have dinner at the 世纪村海鲜鱼头炉 located at the French Road, but unfortunately, upon reaching the destination, we realised that it was closed for business on that day, haiz... should have called up the shop first, then wouldn't have wasted our trip there...One lesson learnt - despite the fact the website did not mention about its operation hours, it is still safer to call up to check that they are open for business before making the trip down..

So we had to change our plan and eat at the Zhou's Kitchen in Anchorpoint which my hubby has longed to try out whenever he passes by Alexandra Road..

Our reviews:

1) The ambience was good; it has 2 storeys, and we sat at the 1st storey... small place but quiet and classy;
2) The staff were very friendly; maybe it was a weekday, not many customers, so the service was fast, and we even have chance to chit chat with the captain/manager;
3) The food prices were reasonable;
4) Serving portion was just right for the 5 of us;
5) The vegetable soup dish (苋菜三蛋)was our favourite; the soup/gravy was tasty, when cooked with salted egg, century eggs and eggs;
6) MIL commended on the 红糟鸡,she enjoyed the dish because it tasted like a home-cooked dish, and the gravy was well-cooked and tasty;
7) I liked the 咕噜肉 and its sweet-sourish taste was very appetizing..
8) My sons also fancied the 1-foot-long and crispy spring roll and the 杨州炒饭.

Total expenditure : $95

In conclusion, we will return to this restaurant again to try out their hi-tea buffets or set menus...
