Gloomy, You're totally right, we ordered the taro dessert but it never came, and since we were so stuffed, we considered ourselves lucky. Any recommendations on where I should go next?

You forgot the dessert! This seems to be one of the few restaurants that offers my favorite sweet taro paste dessert (a dish you'd otherwise see only at the end of a Chinese wedding banquet). Good to see this place featured, its actually specializes in Chiu Chow cuisine. LA Times wrote about it back in '05 http://www.latimes.com/features/food/cl-fo-counter18may18,1,3234448.story?coll=la-headlines-food

It's too bad this space has been occupied by half a dozen different tenants throughout the year, none of which could make it work (it was a chinese owned sushi joint a few years back!). In the same area, try the taiwanese noodle place diagnolly across the street next to NYC and also the original Sam Woo in the same plaza! I've been to that Sam Woo since I was like 2.

Nice to see some more eats from the SG posted here. Try NYC down the street caddy corner to Seafood Village, another great place too.

Being a Cantonese myself born-and-raised in HK for 18 yrs... I would 2nd this restaurant. It's one heck of a great place to get some authentic Hong Kong Style Chinese cooking... very comforting :-)
