The service was very good. The clerk greeted us warmly and recommended desserts to us. The milk pudding was very well done.
I ordered Hong Kong-style milk tea, black truffle prawn pasta, corn chips, sizzling beef rice, and typhoon shelter eggplant. Everything was delicious, the ingredients were fresh, and the food was served very quickly.
I saw many neighbors helping me. Very good tea restaurant.

I recently had the pleasure of trying the sizzling beef with rice, and it was nothing short of spectacular! The beef was incredibly tender, cooked to perfection with a delightful sear that added a wonderful texture. The flavors were well-balanced, with a savory sauce that complemented the meat beautifully. The rice was fluffy and absorbed the rich, savory juices perfectly. The dish was served piping hot, with a delightful sizzle that heightened the dining experience. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a delicious and satisfying meal!

The piece of meat I got in the beef stew tasted and smelled sour. The guy who was probably the manager or owner refused to admit the mistake and said it was impossible for them to have spoilt food because of how busy they were. He pretty much called me a liar and said there was no point in discussing the issue. I was a regular patron even though their food wasn’t great but will never return because I can still remember how disgusting that piece of sour meat was in my mouth.

The food and drinks were really good but I probably won't come back in the future. My reasons I admit may not be very fair to them, people just have human emotions. And I think it's a bit unkind that they don't help nearby schools promote summer activities. Anyway, they could refuse to help and I could refuse to give them the money I earned from being a school teacher.

Isn’t it okay to leave such a big bookmark in their restaurant?

Actually, after thinking about it on the way home, it was actually quite fair. If you don’t help me and I won’t help you, it’s even!

We’re trying to teach kids that the world we live in is cruel, no one wants to help one another. Dog eat dog world, right? That makes sense to me.
