It has always been a challenge to me to find a good Chinese restaurant where the entire family will enjoy given the different tastes and high expectations we (esp. the older folks) all have with food. So for Dad’s birthday this year, I decided to bring the family to this little air-conditioned restaurant tucked away at the void deck of the AMK residential estate, in the hope this long-running restaurant will impress the taste buds.

It is a Friday night but the restaurant isn’t busy at all which is good so we can enjoy our meal in peace.

I always love my cold dish! Probably because of its variety. It’s a pleasant sight to have different food items presented on the same plate. Makes me feel I am spoilt for choice. For Gim Tim’s Cold Dish Combination, there are stir fry pacific clams, fried chicken cutlet, prawn salad on fruit cocktail and ngoh hiang. The ngoh hiang and the pacific clams are the best! Ingredients are fresh, items are tasty and beautifully presented. Definitely set the stage for more to come.

Another typical claypot tofu dish. Not overly outstanding but still quite tasty. Sauce goes rather well with rice. The veggies aren’t over-cooked and manage to maintain that crunchiness in them.

It reminded me of a suckling pig equivalent where we only eat the crispy skin but after trying out one piece, I realise it’s not meat we are eating but some kind of squid or fish paste that’s spread underneath the chicken skin and deep fried till it’s crispy. Don’t get me wrong. It’s still a very tasty dish. But I do like my meat dish to be real meat so it lacks the punch to really impress me despite being recommended as a signature dish by one of the service staff.
