Oh, how I've waited so long to come here..! Ever since I read Chowtime's post on this restaurant's unique dish, I have wanted to try this restaurant out. Apparently, they have a dish called "Dead Man's Coffin" and it is a hollowed out bread box type thing filled with cream of seafood soup. Sounds pretty cool right?? Sadly, I couldn't find it on the menu so I'm not sure if they took that item out. :/ Or maybe I just wasn't looking closely enough..hm..
Meta Knight and I came here yesterday, all drained from walking around downtown and English Bay in the afternoon. When we first walked in, there were only 2 other tables, but when we left, the entire restaurant was full. A lot of people ordered take-out too.
Meta Knight ordered the Popcorn Chicken Noodle in Soup ($6.95) because I told him it was supposedly very good, according to all the food blogs I read. :P The chicken was very tender and fried until just right. I would, however, have liked more fried basil with this dish and to not have them all crumble into tiny tiny bits on the bottom of the bowl.
This is the noodle in soup that came with his chicken. Very normal. It was super light and refreshing. One thing that really stands out to me about this restaurant is that they claim to not use any msg or meat tenderizer in their dishes. If this is true (and I really hope this isn't just a false claim), it's a major plus in my book. :)
