Prince Restaurant (王子饭店)

Once again we are at Prince Restaurant, but this time with a different menu than last time, and it's a gift to Esta, my mom's childhood friend. Since we got to stay at her place for free, we wanted to thank her with a fancier dinner.

However, compared to last visit, this menu was kind of dull in comparing, it didn't give a special food experience. Don't misunderstand, the food was good, but not satisfying. I was expending more or something similar to the first time.

This time many of the dishes had poor/faint seasoning, some meat was chewy because of overcooking, and everything of service and serving took a very long time, we even got served wrong dishes. Because of this experience, I feel that the restaurant's standard goes a bit down when there is a lot of people to serve.

Our menu

Appetizer: Norway's smoked salmon

This time the salmon tasted more like those from Norway. They did a better job this time. Maybe the fish was more oily. Still a little hint of sweet aftertaste, the vegetables were fresh, tomato sweet, match well with the aftertaste. They used some kind of vinegar that spices the vegetables and gave it a sweet aroma.

Peking duck and pancakes

This is how you "set-it-up": 1. You add the vegetables around the middle of the pancake (in this case, cucumber and onion). 2. Add some hoisin sauce or sweet bean sauce 3. Add duck meat on top. 4. Fold and eat <3

Noodles with lobster.

The taste was OK, the lobster was fresh and the sauce was not to strong, so you was able to taste the natural of the lobster sweat meat. However they have overcooked the noodles - maybe they were too busy in the kitchen.
