Wangfu Family Kitchen at Eastwood

Zenya was closed today.  Is it because it is a public holiay (Elizabeth's Day) or because it is a Monday?  We walked past a few restaurants on the way to have our ramen so we were forced to try a new place.  I am not crazy about soupy dishes including hot pots nor barbecued meat (due to the smoky ambience).  We walked past Home Restaurant which was packed and I refused to queue up.

So we went to Wangfu Family Kitchen.  I fancied the stewed pork leg shown in the front of the restaurant.  When we walked in, only 2 tables were occupied.  Hence, we felt that we might be let down.  But by the time our first order arrived, the seats were filling up fast.  And by the time we finished, it had gone through a few tables (replenished with new customers) and not a single Caucasian was in sight.

Tonight, we had tofu with salted egg.  The flavour is not as intense as the Beverley Hill restaurant but it was acceptable.  Next Mrs Tey ordered gowgee, both panfried and steamed.  It was nice but the skin (only) is not as nice as Shanghai Restaurant in Eastwood.  This was followed by the best dish in this place; nearly every table ordered it.  That is the stewed pork leg.  At $26.80, it felt pricey but it was a big serve and the meat was succulent and tender and the skin was not too fatty.

Our next dish was deep fried yellow fish with sweet and tomato sauce.  I liked it but we were pretty full by the time it arrived.

For dessert, we had a warm dish, made with glutinous rice, pumpkin, Chinese dates and something whitish.  It does not meet with Mrs Tey's taste but I thought it was okay.
