very interesting thread. Never tried the alaskan king crab b4. looks real good.
How is the pricing of Sinlee like for the other dishes? Similar to like long beach? or is it like super expensive kind?
What is the damage for like 8 people if I want to order the Alaskan crab and maybe some other normal dishes like vege, prawn, braised fish, etc.
other dishes are pretty standard restaurant price.
when i bring my staff there for dinner i normally spend abt $400+ for abt 8 pax; inclusive of alsakan king crab.
if i remember correctly, there'll be noodles, vegetables, their "mui fan" in superior stock( this one no horse run!! more soup base than starch base. first time u see it u'll do a double-take coz u dun expect so soupy.), prawns, a meat dish, razor clams, herbal tea(free-flow), hashima with red dates and winter melon.......
small standard dishes start from abt $10, med abt $18.
hasima is abt $5 per glass
razor clams is abt $10 per piece
seafood is all mkt price but fair
the braised fish with minced pork set me back abt $60, it was abt a 2kg+ fish.
their dry-fried beef horfun with raw egg is too die for. sometimes can go 2 rounds on this!
hong kong kai lan cooked 2 ways... swoon...... topped with julienne of dried squid and fried whitebait.
if they know you well enough they'll introduce a couple of dishes that's not on the menu for whatever reasons.
put it this way.... it's a place where cooks and chefs like to go for supper after work or to just bring their whole team there to enjoy.... so u know the food can't really go wrong.
