Wah Lok, Wah Not Bad

Went Wah Lok for lunch last week and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would have been. Honestly, the only time I eat chinese food is when my mum cooks or when I'm in Msia or.... maybe dim sum (sudden crave because of Liusha bao). Anyway my point being, I seldom eat chinese food as I don't really see a point of eating chinese food outside of the comforts of my mum's awesome cooking. 

Left Clockwise: Fried fish, Fried rice, Tofu & spinach, Prawn Combi and Wintermelon soup

The initial plan was to have Dim Sum but Wah Lok was in the midst of renovating and moved to the ballroom, thus no dim sum for us that day :( In any case, we stayed and order the set meal. The starters was a prawny combinatiion of mayo covered prawn and some fried prawn fritters thingy. Despite not being a big fan of mayo, I found this dish really good. Next up, winter melon soup! THis is one kick-ass soup! It was super flavourful and sweet. I guess my mummy's right! The Cantonese knows their soup. The veggie was next: Tofu with spinach. This is a really typical dish in chinese restaurants and it was good in an average way, if you know what I mean. 

Fried fish and fish skin was the next item. If you know me well enough, you'll know I hate fried stuff but... I ate this anyway and boy was it delicious. Despite being fried, it wasn't as oily as I imagined it to be and the fish was super crispy. Nice crisp on the outside with soft luscious fish meat in the inside- Naise. Last but not least, the rice. I thought the rice was really fragrant and had the wok hei taste but I found it alil too salty after my first few bites. All set meals end with a dessert (best part of chinese cuisine) and ours was red bean cream. The red bean cream was extremely smooth but a tad too sweet. 

I was uber stuffed after the rice and could barely finish the dessert. All in all, Wah Lok is better than expected and I wouldn't mind bringing my grdma there for dim sum next time :)
