Gui Jie Part 2 - Ming Hui Fu (明辉府)

I managed to squeeze in another visit to Gui Jie, this time for dinner. Using the never-fail criteria of seeing where the crowds go, we walked into a random restaurant along the strip which had quite a number of tables already filled at 6.30pm. This looked slightly more upmarket than the previous place we visited, which was fine since were were looking for dinner not supper.

Some of the menu translations were quite amusing.

The grilled chicken wings were quite tasty still, but a bit more dry than Zai Zai Kao Ba's

We had the xiao long xia, or mini lobster. This was probably better than Zai Zai Kao Ba's - the crustaceans were larger, and the sauce was more tasty.

I ordered a sea cucumber with superior sauce - this was much better than Da Dong's. The sauce was full of oh-so-yummy flavours which I was struggling to decipher - whether there was chinese ham, dried scallop and other flavourful things I couldn't really tell. But suffice to say, it was very tasty.

And it was brilliant on top of steamed rice.

We also had a crab dish....it was awesome.
