The cooking method for their Tilapia is fixed in addition to diners tin solely select betwixt non spicy, normal in addition to extra hot. We had both normal in addition to extra hot versions. The Tilapia was inwards a favorable size (just goodness plenty for i diner) served amongst a sweet-savory Soy sauce, topped amongst a generous helping of minced Garlic in addition to chopped Bird's Eye Chilies. The "wow" component was there, the pristine white flesh possessed non fifty-fifty a hint of the unpleasant fishiness in addition to it was expertly cooked to the correct doneness (unbelievably smoothen amongst melt-in-the-mouth texture). It may hold out on the salty side on its ain but it worked perfectly over a spoon of rice.
Other dishes were meh; though nosotros could non just uncovering error amongst them. The Stir Fried Greens were disappointingly average in addition to nosotros idea the dish was a footling overly greasy. Tofu Shrimp was as disappointing, the Tofu was overly drowning inwards a gooey-starchy sauce piece the Shrimps were inwards depressing sizes... but justifiable amongst the toll tags though. All inwards all, nosotros idea their Steamed Tilapia was the solely dish that stood out; we'll definitely come upwards dorsum for more.
