LawrenceChee Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Just been to this branch for dinner and here the review. Just drive down the superhighway in the direction towards Big C Extra / Bus Arcade It's big with good parking spaces and the main restaurant is divided into several spaces for groups and individual families Menu has a very good Hong Kong type selections and the price very reasonable. We had a big steam fish done hong kong style and tofu minced meat done the hokkien province style and crab balls done Xiamen style ones and the total bill was below 800 without any alcoholic drinks Service was prompt and like a typical Chinese restaurant , good nostalgic Chinese love songs in the background Place was filled by 7pm with lots of local families and all food arrived hot and looked around and everyone was enjoying with families Anyone missing a hong long style Chinese cantonese style dinner meal should head there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldeBellPedr Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 They've also got a branch (the original one) in town on Sri Donchai Rd almost opposite the Chiang Mai Plaza hotel. As Lawrence says, great food and great service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PingandSingh Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 For about 10 years I went to the first branch on a weekly base. I know the family very well and the "old" lady knows me even by name. However, they DOUBLED most of the prices around the opening of the new branch. Too expensive now for the quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawrenceChee Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 Wow double is a lot although at the current prices , it's still doable for the quality as it is difficult to find good quality Chinese food in CM. Fujian would have easily cost double of that although the ambience is obviously targeted at a richer clientele Anyone can cook Chinese ...cooking quality Chinese food does involves a good chef and they don't come cheap with the fresh seafood ingredients ... Inflation is an evil bug that is not leaving CM like the mossies ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LawrenceChee Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 Hong kong style Chinese food and Thai Chinese food is almost the same in cooking styles So unless u are an expert in Cantonese cuisine this restaurant serve good comfort food for the Chinese from the south Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mallmagician Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Just a quick note to thank the OP. I have lived rather close to this place for some time now, and never even knew it existed. Encouraged, and Enlightened by this thread, my wife and I had a lovely meal there last night. As for prices - I didn't find them to be high at all, unless you are ordering peking duck - but even then its worth it! As an example, I had a Chow Mein (As I know it - Yellow Noodles fried with Chicken and Veg) - She asked if I wanted Small, Medium or Large. I chose Medium at 120 baht. When it arrived, it was huge! Enough to feed 2 as a main meal! Its now on our little list of gems to ensure we take guests to when they visit. Thanks LawrenceChee! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worgeordie Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Anyone know if you have to order Suckling pig or Peking duck in advance,or do they have them ready to serve,and what price are we looking at for the duck. regards Worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawrenceChee Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 With my own experience it is better to pre order suckling pigs and Peking duck to allow the chef enough time to roast them properly and allow for the spices to soak into the meat ...this gives a better experience Peking ducks need about 6 hours to be roasted properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
