Wonton Mee & Iced Lemon Honey

Dinner @ "半斤八两面".

 

Wanted to try a cafe but it was closed for dinner and so in turn, I was drawn to this place with its Hong Kong-style decor.

 

The owners spoke Cantonese, which was a good sign.

 

But unfortunately, the food was not so good. While it may look good, there were very little signs and the tastes of true "Hong Kong". The servings was big, more in congruent with the serving sizes in Shanghai. The soup was murky when it should be clear. There was more pork than shrimp in the wontons and the skin was more Shanghai style dumplings than Hong Kong style wontons.

 

The only bright point? The crunchy fresh Chinese cabbage. They were a delight.

 

Good throw of the dices; no win.
