Lei Garden - Quality Cantonese Food
It was Khai Yuen birthday and one of our friends recommended the Lei Garden restaurant(Orchard Plaza) set menu for dinner. I am quite sceptical on set menu but decided to go for it after the restaurant manager also recommended the set dinner. And, yes, it was really GOOD. One of the BEST set dinner I ever had. For starter we had a plate of roast pork and clear soup. The boiled mustard green soup with Hunan ham was very refreshing. Next came the steamed prawns (bottom right). The prawns were cut into half, garnished with fried garlic, placed on top of a plate of tofu and streamed with light sauce. It was superb. Then came the deep fried sea-bass (top left). I don't really enjoy eating sea-bass, but the way Lei Garden deep fried the sea-bass and garnished it with garlic and sauce, was just outstanding. The steamed prawns and deep fried sea-bass are two MUST try dishes. The grilled chicken fillet (centre right) was very tender. For dessert we had the glutinous dumpling with sesame filling. In addition we ordered a plate of steamed tofu (centre left). The tofu was cut into thin slices, spread round the plate and steamed with ginko nuts, mushroom, ham, carrot and chicken. The set dinner cost S$68+++ for 4 persons. Since there were 7 of us we ordered two sets. It was real value for money. The service was friendly, food was of high quality and cooking was very well done. The set menu changes regularly and we will definitely come back for more.
