There have been alot of rave reviews about Imperial Treasure and their famous "order-in-advance" Beijing Duck, so i made a trip there to see just how great that duck is. However, as it was a last-minute thing, we couldnt make reservations in time for the duck, so we had to settle for whatever was there in the menu.
Tried their seafood fried rice, but it was one of the worst fried rice i have tasted in a restaurant! The rice was pretty tasteless, and the grains were hard and not fully covered by the eggs. The only nice part of the fried rice was the small bits of crystal shrimps and sweet char siew. I will never order their fried rice again.
We coouldnt get the Beijing duck, so we settled for the roast duck instead. Theres nothing special about it, just a little oily. Well, at least it is much better than the fried rice, and the sweet plum sauce that comes with it helps to cut back a little of the oiliness.
This place didnt wow me for now, but will consider going back for the other dishes like the double boiled soup (which must be ordered in advanced also) or the dim sum.
Next stop was of course dessert! Went to MOF sweets for dessert, and tried their Shiratama soft serve, which is soft serve ice cream with shiratama (japanese dumplings), kanten jelly, azuki red bean paste and mixed fruits. I don't normally take soft serve because of the excessive milky taste, but MOF's is quite nice. The shiratama is pretty bland, so it should be eaten with either the red bean paste or the maple-like syrup that comes with it. Kanten jelly just taste like agar-agar.
We also tried the matcha sundae, which is soft serve with matcha gelato, accompanied by mixed fruits, kanten jelly and a waffle biscuit. Portion is pretty big for 2 small-eaters, so it is nice to share, and try more items!
