The first time I ate in this restaurant was in 1979 when they were in Blue post alley. The menu stayed the same for many years and it was finaly changed in 2000 something. My favourite dish was always 114 (Singapore fried noodles) and 112 (Fried Quai Du). I went in after the menus changed and the numbers were removed. I asked for a 114 and the guess what? I got Singapore fried noodle. I was soo pleased…I felt like a veteran coming home.
I have not been there for 5 years or so and I am hoping that the numbers have come back in the meantime. As for the service it used to be:
One? you sit here (ground floor)
two? go downstair (basement)
other numbers upstair (any of the other floors)
glass table tops so the plates would slide across, generous portions and excellent prices.
Strangley enough, the Lido around the corner had exactly the same menu, but at about 25% higher prices. Thankfuly that is now gone.
For chinese clients, there used to be a chinese menu that had a number of items not available on the english menu. I am curious if that is still the case.
