Dinner @ Nice House Restaurant

A few years back, we had dinner here and it was very nice. So we decided to go back. It was Ching MIng Festival when we were there, so SIbu was choke a block with people. We  bumped into everyone everywhere in town. Anyhow, we were going to have family portraits taken at Arts Friends so the most logical place to have dinner was Nice House. We made reservation in the afternoon, and it was so full they could only put us upstairs. Above we tried the duck with plum sauce thingie. Verdict: the duck eater amongst us did not really like it. the Meat was a little dry.  

Kangkung was a bit of a let down. I mean seriously, both mom and my MIl can stir fry a meaner one than this.

Lemon chicken - it was okay

Tofu soup - it was rather nice.

Hong shau Fish head and yam - mom provided the fish head for the resutant, and said she liked to have it cooked with yam. The twist is she will also provide the yam! The restaurant was not going to take her yam but after much persuading they relented!

the Midin (ferns) dish.This is a safe dish. If a restaurant cannot cook this dish, they have to seriously check themselves out.

Here's the fish head

Here's the homegrown yam! It's a 'pi long' wo! it really does taste wicked compared to some of the ones I have in Auckland!

Note: It is true not to eat at a restaurant when it is at its peak capacity. Not only the waiting time is long but the dish also might not be as good as it usually is.
