Tao Heung, Tsim Sha Tsui Hong Kong

Tao Hueng. 3Floor Carnarvon Plaza, Carnarvon Road

This restaurant starts at 7.30am and they only serve dim sum until noon time.


Since it is recommended by many on the internet, I would expect it to be quite nice. We've ordered the usual and here's our verdict











BBQ pork buns- dough is nice and fresh but pork is rather bland.

Siew Mai - too much fatty pork used in the mince

Har Gao- the skin is too tough (taste old too)

Turnip cake- taste sour!!! Have to be old or stale

Sweet and sour pork- I thought it taste alright. Craig thinks it's old or being deep fried long time ago.

Prawn rice roll (Chee Cheong Fan) - probably the best among the 6 dishes.
 

 Part of the restaurant. 


Halfway through the meal I knew they use MSG as my tongue is stinging and so is Craig. I am so thirsty afterwards. It is rather disappointing that any restaurant will need to use MSG (or similar) to make their dishes taste better.

 Customer Service? We got a trainer as our server and she brought the wrong order the 1st time and after we pointed out to her, she apologized and explained she's just started work. The following dishes are brought by different kitchen staff who are friendly enough

Chatters Restaurant (Midland)

I've been told that Chatters has very nice asian food. So I had to try it for myself to believe.

Went to the Midland branch on 14Nov during lunch time and tried their lunch menu. I had ordered Pad Thai because it seems to be a difficult dish to master (in Australia) and Craig ordered honey chicken with rice.

Craig seems to enjoy his honey chicken. They are crispy and....what else can you say about honey chicken.

I don't enjoy my pad thai at all. It's rather oily and bland. There isn't much ingredients in the stir fry and it is really not the authentic pad thai you will get in good old Thailand. Never knew there's lemon added in pad thai as well (perhapes it is something I had missed out while in Thailand). As you can see in the picture below, there are spring onions, chickens and crushed peanuts and yep, that's about it.

The above 2 dishes cost $10 each but for $10, I will be able to order something cheaper and tastier somewhere else.

Chi Resturant

Shop 109, 166 Murray Street, Perth (Above Woolies)
08-9225-7488

One of my favourite dishes is Hor Fun(wet) and I have been to Chi a couple of times but never tried their hor fun. I decided to go for the Chicken Hor Fun costing $11. As usual, it is a massive dish and I can't wait to dig in when it arrives on my table.

The sauce is not as thick as I would prefer it to be. There isn't much egg on the sauce as well. The hor fun(noodles) are not stir fried with dark soya sauce(more likely light soya sauce I believe). and yes, plently of chicken since it is a Chicken dish.Corns and snow peas add a great touch and taste to the dish.

The green chilli was rather different from what I will usually have. It is dry chopped green chilli.

The service was fast since I was there at 12pm, if you were to order after 12.15pm, the crowd starts picking up and you might have to wait more than 15mins. So do head there earlier if you are tight for time.
