This is a dinner where we waited from sky bright until it turns dark (before and after sunset) only our order is served. Since we already knew that there will be long waiting time for the food and the tables~ all the Penang-lang here (8 adults + 6 kids = 2 tables) willing to wait to try this old school Cantonese dishes from this more than 60 years old restaurant located at ground floor of the People's court - one of the earliest low-cost flat in 1961 in Lebuh Cintra. What we order are steamed fish, stir fried beef with kailan, stir fried chicken with oyster sauce, prawn fritters, braised pork ribs with black bean paste, stir fried beef with ginger and spring onions, and stew ginger duck. I can see why the waiting time is long as the chef cooks by order and by table. Even there's repeat order, he won't cook the dish all in once and serve whatever is cook first. That explained why every table needs to wait at least half to an hour. But, when our food is served, its all come out at once and it is still hot! No regrets for the long waits! In fact I a little regrets that I find out this place too late. Hopefully next time when I come back I have the time to wait again to try other Cantonese dishes.
