Tao's Restaurant Revisited

I tried something different from my previous visit.

Salad - farm boy splendor - taste ok, quite appetising but i think i prefer the fruit salad. XX and i thought that it taste vaguely familiar but we just could not pin-point it.

Soup - fish soup. i think it is just salty water but my friends seemed to like it.

Entree - baked flounder with cheese. today's was just so-so. i remembered the small piece i sampled during my previous visit tasted better.

Dessert - yangsheng poached pear. average. i had thought the yangsheng meant ginseng so was surprised when my friends said there's a cinnamon taste. lol. The yangsheng is but 养生 instead.

Beverage - we ordered all different drinks so we could try them out. i had the ice rose apple drink again - nice. XX had the summer peach tea - got a minty refreshing taste. LF drank the grape mellow tea - i think is just a sweet drink. YZ got the grapefruit tea - this is a tricky one.. they said it's sour cos of the grapefruit but i don't think it's sour. In fact, i think there's a faint ginger taste in the drink which makes it a little odd. But my friends can't taste the ginger... hmm...

We were quite impressed with the service when we arrived at the restaurant. When LF arrived (late again!), the waiter had asked her, "Are you so-and-so's friend?" Whoa.... But then, we were the only one or two table around when we arrived, so they were more attentive. As the place started to fill up, the small talk became lesser
