Good - chicken fried rice, beef and vegetables
Meh - chicken balls, garlic dry honey spareribs
Bad - sweet and sour boneless pork (I realize its on here twice, tastes great, smells terrible)
DO NOT, and I can not emphasize this enough, DO NOT purchase pork dishes from here. From what I can tell they use Boar meat (male meat is normally never sold for human consumption - just dog food because of the smell). The smell that the sweet and sour boneless pork gave off made everyone almost gag after about an hour of the food being in the house.
Because of that I wont be returning, its too bad really as its very close to where I live and they have an excellent selection

Thanks for your honest review. The sweet and sour boneless pork is one of my favourite dishes and I've never noticed it smell bad before. Perhaps it was a poor batch or something? I'm on vacation right now, but I'll ask my parents about it when I get back. I'm glad you liked all the other dishes.
