- Location: Ground Floor of Al Wadi Center, Qurum (opposite Khamis Plaza)
- Menu: Authentic Chinese dishes
- Budget: RO 3~8 /person
- My personal rating: 5 out of 5
Just yesterday, a friend of mine suggested that we dine at her newly discovered restaurant in Qurum. It was really nice to know that within that building, there was actually a nice Chinese resto (and when I say Chinese, I mean real Chinese, not Chindian), because I think people are not fond of going there except if they were to buy some electronics, computer games and gaming devices.
The signage outside the building wasn't even noticeable, the location of the resto was at the back, and when you'd walk towards the place from inside the building, you would even mistake it for a cafeteria because the walls were showing pictures of foods in plates as if everything there comes as a combo meal. So really, looks could be deceiving especially for this resto, because once you enter, you'd find peace in its Chinese-themed designs -- from wallpapers to their ceiling, with their hanging displays, table cloths and runner. When we came in, we also noticed that a lot of Asians were already enjoying their sumptuous meals, most of whom were Filipinos.
With regards to the service, not bad at all, taking into consideration that I think the 2 Chinese owners were also the cashier, waiter, cleaner.. an all-around I must say.
The menu offered lots of dishes - soups, beef/chicken/seafood dishes, and most of the choices there were spicy. It was like the cheaper version of The Noodle House, but with more options. Evertyhing we tried was good and would really make us come back, wanting for more.
