This is the place I visit when I crave for some proper Cantonese cuisine at a reasonable price. It’s one of the few offshore offspring of the Lei Garden Restaurant Group in Hong Kong.We rocked up at 9.30pm to cure our post-movie hunger syndrome, and to our surprise the kitchen was still open. The waitresses were very efficient and polite, albeit the inability to speak Cantonese and even struggled to communicate proficiently in plain English. At that very second, I was thanking my parents for sending me to Saturday Chinese school (that I once dreaded of going).
The Orchard restaurant is less glamorous than its Chijimes counterpart, but I like the no-pretence vibe of the place. The interior is clean and modern, and very much resembles most Chinese restaurants in Hong Kong nowadays.
The herbal fish head soup was pungent and with its Chinese medicine and herbal ingredients, it proved to be perfect cure for a late night out. I must reiterate that the soup was boiled very thoroughly and is definitely a must-try. Our mains were chicken cubes slow cooked in a claypot with mini onions, red and green capsicums and garlic, and stir-fried beef and with gai lan. Both were equally delicious and the ingredients were fresh.
Verdict: No-fuss authentic Cantonese cuisine in a modern setting with a reasonable price tag. Great for calming down your Cantonese food cravings.Bill: Approximately SGD$99 for two (Soup, 2 mains, tea & misc charges)
