Loy Sum Juan Restaurant 黎三元酒家

Decided to come here for Chinese New Year lou hei with a couple of friends today.

We ordered a small size yu sheng ($28), bean curd ($15), coffee pork ribs ($12), black pepper venison ($18), shrimp paste chicken ($10), luo han vegetables ($10). Total bill inclusive of tea, rice, towels, etc came up to $120.80. Works out to $20 for the 6 of us.

Though we ordered the small size yu sheng, the portion is actually quite big. For rest of the dishes (we ordered all small size), the portion is pretty decent too. My favourite is the bean curd and the shrimp paste chicken. The shrimp paste chicken was served piping hot, and the meat was very tender. I pretty enjoyed all the dishes, though my friend commented she can't taste the coffee in the coffee pork ribs.

Overall, this is a no fuss chinese restaurant, with pretty bare deco. Sort of like a coffee shop zi char in a simple chinese restaurant.

However, for those who have not tried this or planning to check this place, you better hurry, as a notice on the entrance says they are closing on 9 Feb 09, and they will inform those who leave their contact behind when they find a new premise. So hurry as only few more days to go and they might be gone for good!
