We tried the beef stew, which was a traditional comforting Chinese beef stew. The star, really, is the crispy rice bowl.
Another dish we tried was the bamboo rice salted chicken, which is a chicken stir-fry that’s served in a bamboo bowl. (I don’t think the rice was cooked in the bamboo and it was more for presentation since there wasn’t a bamboo flavor in the rice.) Vera says the presentation reminded her of some of the dishes in Indonesia.
We also enjoyed a dessert called Mango Queen, which was like a mango pudding with bubble tea and cubes of fresh mango, topped with cubes of grass jelly (that’s the clear black gelatin popular in Asian desserts). It was nice and refreshing, and the tart fresh mango mixing with the cream made me think of a Creamsicle when eating the dessert.
