The Cathay Resturant [Closed]
The "experience" in Cathay didnt start off with a good note ( read here to find out why), but luckily the dining experience was not too bad... ^_^
We were among the first few to reach there, at roughly around 6pm. Therefore, the resturant was still empty. Good chance for me to go around snapping pictures without "闲杂人等".. =p
Erm, actually I dunno these people in the pictures, probably some famous stars during my parent's time?
Very chi-na, yellow wall, red pillar with chinese characters...
Appetizer - $2
Kinda "incompatible" to serve potato chips as appetizer in a Chinese Resturant. I was expecting ground nuts or fish cakes lor... Haha.. but the chips were good to kill time while waiting for our food, and it was refillable... ^_^
Corn & Crab Meat Soup - $7
Scallop & Crab Meat Soup - $8
I wanted to order this melon soup in the menu, but it was only available for pre-orders =_=
Well, that was NOT gonna deprived me of having soups! So we ended up ordering individual soups... ya lah, the price is meant for 1 bowl of soup for 1 pax. Kinda expensive since the bowl was not really big for sharing. The corn soup was much sweeter, while the latter was simple & light. Both were okay, and came with chunks of crab meats. But I guess, you may want to give the soups a pass, as they were just okay and the price seemed to be over-rated.
Vegetable - $22
I forgot to take the name of the dishes in the menu. But dun worry! You can find this picture in the menu if you are keen to try.
It was a simple dish made up of simple ingredients such as xiao bai cai, fish maw & wolfberry. The sauce was in a weird yellowish orange colour, because it was carrot sauce, as told by the waiter. Very interesting indeed, and definitely a healtier choice!
Fish Fillet - $28
OooooO...This was my favourite dish in this meal! The fish was sweetened with red dates, which was indeed delightful. Same with the "hidden" mushrooms beneath the fish fillets. Not to forget, the fish fillets was very soft and melted easily in the mouth.
Peking Duck (1/2) - $32
My bf's favourite dish.. ya, we love to order peking duck - A must-order dish when we go to any chinese resturant. Keke
It was not too bad, at least it came with egg crepe skin. Then again, what you see in the picture was what we got for $32. Probably only 10 miserable slices...
Fried Ee Mee - $12
Verdicts from my fellow diners: This was better than the one served at Royal China. Ha, I thought the one at Royal China was good. Apparently, this was much loved, as the group prefered the noodles to be more moist, and it came with lotza duck meat too! The flavouring was just right, not too saltish, not too oily, but sufficient to tingle the palate. =)
