Taking a break from seafood and meat, let’s turn to the vegetables, option available are Braised Dried Japanese Scallops with Cabbage 干贝白菜Stir-Fried French Beans with Dried Shrimps 虾米四季豆 and Home-made Beancurd with Chicken Floss 肉松豆腐. The clear winner among these dishes is the French Beans. Home-made Beancurd is smooth and soft. My least favourite is the Cabbage as I don’t prefer soft soggy vegetable.

Personally, I felt there are room for improvement for the Coffee Pork Ribs 咖啡排骨. Though meat was tender but somehow it was lacking of flavours.

I felt that the Signature Claypot Bee Hoon Soup 螃蟹米粉汤 fall short of expectation this round. It tasted different from the one I last had. The seafood aroma was masked.
