A meal at Mouth Restaurant on the eve of Chap Goh Mei

It was a good meal. Though it cost $65 due to the occasion, the choice of dishes and the expensive rental fee faced by the restaurant, the food was very tasty.

We had Fish Maw and Crabmeat Soup at $14, followed by Barbecued Combination at $20 and then Kailan with Mushroom at $16. These were eaten with rice. The second and third dishes are more outstanding though.

The platter the meats came in was in the shape of a flower with four divisions to hold the different combinations. The combination was made up of jellyfish as a cold item, smoked duck with spring onion and shredded raw lettuce as garnishings, barbecued pork and soya sauce chicken. It was my first time eating smoked duck and it tastes just like honey baked ham. I love it! The barbecued pork was juicy and meaty, with no burnt edges, and the chicken was good too. The vegetable dish included bamboo pithe too. I like its texture and the whole dish was excellently done. Even my dad had a contented smile on his face, one so rare nowadays.
