Appetizers: (left) Peanuts soaked in this thick-ish, sweet, vinegary sauce; and (right) bean curd sliced into thin strips, with cucumber (I think) and some other stuff. Addictive stuff. They should pack this in packets and sell them in supermarkets. Won't be surprised if they do in China. 
南瓜百合心太软 - If only it tasted as nice as its name sounds. Cold dish of diced pumpkin, lily bulb (the white pieces that look like onions) with dates stuffed with glutinous race. I really don't like cold, un-cooked stuff, to begin with, and cold, sweet, raw food before the meal proper just didn't seem right for me. Maybe I would've enjoyed it more as dessert. Ma loved it though.
蟹粉烩白玉 - 白玉 being the cubes of tofu in the crab sauce. Really, the tofu was the main ingredient and not the crab. Rather liked it, very subtle taste.
宫保鹿肉 - Tried not to think about the poor deer that sacrified itself for this dish, but at least it was a worthy sacrifice. This was sooo good, think everyone rated it favourite dish of the meal. The meat was perfectly tender, and the cashew and tomatoes really came together deliciously with the meat.
香煎银鳕鱼 - Took this right before the waiter divided it up into portions. (Wonder if they get a lot of trigger-happy customers there. He must've thought I was nuts snapping away at everything put in front of me.) This was sort of like a less salty, and sauce-laden version of salted fish. Ma thought it was a waste to cook the life out of cod like that, but I liked it, very nice with rice.
丝瓜蘑菇炒蛋 - This tasted exactly like what my grand-aunt cooks at home. Not sure if it's a good or bad thing. Tasted not bad, but could've saved sixteen bucks asking my grand-aunt to whip this up. Should've gone with another vegetable dish.
肉松香麻饼 - I only got to eat this the next day at work, 'cos I was so full by the time this was served up, and it was da-pao-able. Ma said this was good. But the version I ate the following day was cold and hard and very unsatisfyingly teensy. Ditto for everything else in this place, portions are kiddy. Except for the next dish...
XO酱海鲜炒面 - Or so it says on the receipt. Didn't taste the XO though, not that it mattered. We ordered this to have something starchy to go along with the rest of the protein/vege. Thought it was gonna be single-serving, like everything else, but it turned out to be a gigantic heap enough for 3,4 people. Was still good when we da-paoed this back and re-fried it.
功夫母指粽 - These were the cutest things - literally the size of your thumb, and tasted almost exactly like those regular-sized triangular dumplings, except they cost twice as much, maybe thrice. Well at least they're cute.
It was really too much, we always over-estimate, but overall, think we all enjoyed the food. Next time I go back there though, if ever, I'm going for the cheaper $7+ noodles.
