This restaurant is located at the basement of the Royal Garden Hotel in TST. And coming here tonight on the first day of the CNY holiday, the whole restaurant was packed and we got our table right outside the private rooms. With the banquet going on, the environment was quite noisy but also festive.We ordered the Hot and Sour Soup ($138 each) to start. The ingredients included shrimp, tofu, wood ear and conpoy.

We ordered the Hot and Sour Soup ($138 each) to start. The ingredients included shrimp, tofu, wood ear and conpoy. The sourness of the soup is decent but lacking sufficient spicy note to balance, so overall to me it was rather disappointing.
Next we had the Deep-fried Stuffed Crab Claw ($118 each). Beautifully deep fried to golden brown, the breaded surface was crispy while the inside was a bouncy minced prawn meat, wrapping around a crab claw. The taste was quite good, but the crab claw was really too small and the crab meat was virtually non-existence. A bit like being cheated...
The Sizzling Pot of Chicken and Frog Legs ($288) was the best dish on the night. Upon opening the lid there was an intense fragrance from the shallot, and both the chicken and frog legs were well marinated, tender and meaty. The pot was also not overly oily. A very nice dish and personally I like the frog legs more than the chicken, but both were truly tasty.
The last dish was Braised Groupa Head in Sizzling Pot ($598). The taste of the fish was very good, but there were also quite a lot of small bones so it would not be ideal for children or someone not good at picking bones. Apart from the fish, the roasted pork, mushroom, tofu puff and tofu skin all had absorbed the flavors of the sauce and equally nice.
Service was very good, not sure it was because we gave red pockets to the staff, but no matter they were courteous and friendly. The bill was $1,686 and in my opinion it was quite reasonable, but there are minor improvements which I hope the restaurant can pay attention to get to an even better level.
