Chinese take out (or should I say 'take away')... always a good idea! The place looks like it is brand new, very clean, almost didn't seem like anyone was there when we went in. The girl behind the counter was very nice, especially when some drunk people wandered in... one of them being someone I was with.
The boy ordered the Crispy Aromatic Duck and Singapore Noodles. I ordered the Lemon Chicken and steamed rice (I mean boiled rice). I was surprised at how fast the food was ready, but everything was nice and hot and even stayed that way when we went across the street for a quick drink. The duck was fantastic! It was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Forget the pancakes, hoisin sauce, cucumber, and green onions, even though it comes with the duck... I had trouble being patient, so I just devoured the duck.
Wasn't keen on the Singapore Noodles, but then again I'm not a fan of curry and I could taste it all over the noodles. The Lemon Chicken was ok, wasn't a fan of the way the chicken was done, but the lemon sauce was very good and there were pineapple chunks at the bottom. I have never experienced that, it was different, but not in a bad way, although it did confuse me a bit. The rice was ok, then again once you get used to steamed Jasmine rice, it is difficult to have anything else. Not to mention if you don't use nice water it picks up all the flavour of the water as well.
Overall, the meal was pretty good... the extra star was really for the duck. The duck kids, have the duck. You won't be disappointed. read more
