I found this place completely by accident: the ground level lift is located next to an outdoor cash machine, though the restaurant itself is on the 8th floor of a multi-story shopping and office complex. This brightly lit spot offers a good selection of Cantonese fare, including dim sum items, several duck dishes, several types of fried rice, and more. An assortment of noodle dishes, including Singapore Noodles, and a few curries round out the menu. I opted for a starter of spring rolls, followed by an entree of prawns with green pepper and black bean sauce. The spring rolls arrived piping hot, the texture crispy, just the way I like, and filled with shredded carrots, mushrooms, and assorted Chinese vegetables. The entree contained a generous amount of large, tender prawns, chunks of green pepper, onion, carrot, red pepper, mushrooms and fresh ginger. I had opted for egg fried rice rather than plain white rice, and this was essentially scrambled egg mixed with white rice: pleasant, but not quite what I am used to as far as fried rice goes. A couple of Cisk beers (a local brew) accompanied my meal and replenished my energy after the trip from London.
The decor is a rather odd mix of quasi-Danish modern light wood tables and chairs and Chinese artwork on the walls. Combine that with some unusual Chinese pop muzak (played at a fairly unobtrusive level) and you’re a bit uncertain just what effect is being tried for. That aside, this place has a large outdoor terrace with a lovely harbor view. Though the February evening temperatures precluded outdoor dining, I nonetheless could imagine how pleasant it would be in summer. Service was unintrusive and sometimes just shy of neglectful, though I attributed this to the fact that there was basically just one waiter at a busy time. From other parts of the island, take any bus to the Sliema seafront, and then walk about 3 minutes.
