Came here for the Dining City Restaurant Week $28 lunch set, but turns out it was just the usual business lunch set for 2 at the same price. Disappointing 😞 Ambience was nice with dim lighting and elegant wooden furniture, but seats felt hard and uncomfortable. Helped ourselves to the tissue (both dry and wet) and toothpicks and there was even a power socket / USB port to charge our phones 👌🏻

On to the food. Had the Fresh Mushroom Soup and the Taiwanese Style Spicy Soup (just a spicy mushroom soup) and both were good and chockful of ingredients. There was even a small pig trotter in the Taiwan style soup! Chose the Sliced Pork Collar and Boneless Drumstick which were of good quality but ultimately the 90g portions were small. Even the vegetable platter was just one basket of veges to share between us. Even Shi Li Fang gives more food for a third of the price.

The set came with a mug of tea each but we could only choose from Da Hong Pao and Pu Er. Milk and toppings or other tea flavours chargeable 👎 Free flow lu Rou fan was great though, as is the sauce bar. Fruits and ice cream was also good. Ice cream was the usual Mingo cup (from HDL and SLF) but a more atas version. Palate cleanser was a nice pineapple slushie but only one per pax.

Was it quality? Yes. Was the service good? Yea. Did I feel satiated after? Definitely. Was it worth the price? Meh...wouldn't return. Would rather go to HDL for the price point or even just SLF if I wanted hotpot that was worth.
