I would never have discovered this place if I hadn’t read Open Rice, the Chinese dishes were not the dishes that attracted me, but it was the massive soufflé!
The restaurant is very mysterious from the outside, it reminds me of those places where people go and play mah jong, hidden from the outside world by white veils. The last restaurant I went to that was similar to this one was St Louis Steak House, the waitors all wore vintage clothing with bow-ties.
Same with this one, the waiters are in their mid fifties plus which reminds of Gingko in Central.
The reservation/waiting list is also old style too, especially the texture of the paper they use, and all the names are hand written and crossed off. Due to the privacy this restaurant offers, it explains why there are so many celebrities and politicians dining there.
When I was dining there, I saw Fung So Boh (actress) and some politician (duno her name).
Apart from the Soufflé the other dishes were boring such as Swiss style fried flat noodles and baked rices.
The usual Chinese food! I suppose the only one dish I could try would be the fried flat noodles and beef. I came here for the Soufflé so that was what I ordered.
However, the waiter told me in a displeasing tone that it would take 35 minutes, I am not sure if he didn’t like the idea of me occupying the seat for at least half an hour or whether he got the impression customers complain after waiting too long.
When the souffle came, it smelt so nice, it smells really eggy and reminds me of the smell of Malaysian steamed cake (maa lie go).
It was huge when it arrived.
The inside of the Souffle was pale yellow, inside it was so light and fluffy.
Every time I ate it, I had to sniff it because it smelt so nice.
It is so rare to have something that smells, looks and tastes good!!
It was piping with steam because it came fresh from the oven. Anyway don’t forget to smell it because it smell really nice!! Tea was included so I ordered tea for the sake that it was included.
When it came, it visually looked good that I almost thought it was the Western type of tea!
The tea looked really silky without residue or condensed milk residue on the side of the cup.
The smell confirmed me it was HK style tea.
Although I didn’t like it, I still tried a sip, the taste did not irritate me as the usual HK tea’s do, but it was a pleasant one.
There was no bitterness and after drinking half of the tea, the tea was so silky it didn’t leave any marks like the usual HK tea does.
