compared to wanchai, this branch is small, noisy and cramped. it's on the 7th floor of a building full of restaurants. claustrophobia begins once you step out of the lift and edge through the narrow path towards the main restaurant area. chairs are back to back with those of the next table, and someone seated on the outside would have to stand up whenever the person inside needs to use the toilet. i didn't pay attention to the menu, as my aunt did the ordering - and went overboard on fried food. some dishes stood out more than others: the fried skinny mushrooms and some kind of wrap with sauce were nice, while the fried tofu balls were bland and fried beancurd wrap unmemorable. servings were generous and four of us were slowing down towards the end of our six-dish dinner. i was pleasantly surprised that my omnivorous male cousin seemed highly satisfied with this meatless meal. staff were friendly and smily, helping us to take photos despite being busy. judging by the crowd on a wednesday night, reservations are recommended.
