Imperial Treasure

When Imperial Treasure first appeared a few years ago, I was hesitant to eat there for a while thinking that Crystal Jade was still the ultimate in Cantonese cuisine. Both served the same type of food, and both also branched out into serving Shanghainese food like la mian and xiaolongbao. Since I started eating at Imperial Treasure about a year ago, I've become a pretty big fan given that the quality is consistently pretty good.

Cuttlefish with salt and pepper ($7.00). The cuttlefish was chewy, and the batter was crispy and dry.

Beef brisket casserole ($14.00). We slurped every bit of the sauce up to eat with our rice. The beef brisket was stewed until it was tender, and the sauce had a good balance of spices and beef flavour.

Fried spinach ($9.50)

My favourite dish at Imperial Treasure - Egg White and Fish Meat with Dried Scallop ($10.80). It's served with a raw egg, which the waitress will mash into the rest of the dish together with vinegar and pepper. It's super tasty, and reminiscent of the runny eggs with pepper and soy sauce that most kopitiams serve.
