Decided to pop by Huang Jia Restaurant as my friend told me the food was good. Came we a couple of good friends who loved good food. We love trying out new restaurants.

The first thing that hits you is the ambience of the restaurant. With its chandeliers, it looks really classy. The chairs are really comfy as well. But most importantly, the food was fantastic! The set menu's range from $30++ onwards to $60++ so it caters to a range of different groups. We ordered the Imperial Lobster Claypot and the Crispy Roast Chicken as they were on banners in front of the restaurant. The Lobster Claypot was interesting as it comes in a claypot which sizzles when opened and the black pepper and herbal small comes wafting out. YUM! There is something about a sizzling claypot that makes people hungry! Almost every table was having the claypot and I can see why after tasting it. I highly recommend this dish. Only problem is good food is usually not enough!! The small claypot at $38++ I think is more suited to 3-4 pax rather than 5. The Crispy Roast Chicken was also very good. The taste of the seasoning was really really good as was the skin which was very crispy. In fact, this is the first time I have tried a roast chicken with such crispy skin. I also ordered the Fried Rice which was full of stuff! Char Siew, and Prawn and Veggie and Egg. Very nice and rich.

We had a few other dishes which were good as well but the chicken and lobster really stood out. For the meal, the 5 of us spent about $30+ per person. Great value for such good food. Jack Wang   (Jack Wang - April, 2008)
