Imperial Restaurant at Vivocity is hardly inviting – for the numerous times that we walked past at least. The Mom insists that we have patronized this before when I was aware of food in their pre-cooked form.
One of the reunion dinners was arranged there and they changed the layout a fair bit to accommodate the extra tables. Unlike the other restaurants that stick rigidly to their pre-set seatings for the night, they do not practise such – hooray for longwinded families like mine who need not watch the clock.
Smoked Duck
Braised Superior Shark’s Fin Soup with Fresh Crabmeat and American Ginseng
Braised Superior Sea Cucumber with Chinese Yam
Prawn Balls with Mixed Fruits and Blueberry Sauce
Found this different from the usual salted egg yolk
or pumpkin prawns but blueberry sauce was more like jam and indeed
quite odd.
Braised Chicken with Fine Multi Grains and Ginseng
One whole chicken stewed and stuffed with barley
and brown rice. The broth was hearty and definitely herbal and chicken
was tender but I cannot help but think of it as a soup dish more than
mains.
Fried Vegetables with Mixed Nuts
Ordinary looking vegetable dish that surprised us – flavour and wonderful blend of nuts and peas.
Triple Delight Fried Eefu Noodles
On the sweet side and saucy too.
Sesame Rice Cake with Osmanthus Flower
A pretty dessert to
behold with the red osmanthus flowers tossed in the granulated sugar
grains. The sesame rice cake was unsweetened though.
A decently priced and
tasty meal, especially so for reunion dinner where all other
establishments are there to outprice each other.
