Fook Yew, Checked!

so, there was this banner that i've seen for sometime now in the new "it" mall, Gandaria City.

I've been wondering what this "Fook Yew" boards was for. 

Clothing apparel? Guy's Accessories? 

after months and months of waiting, i finally found out that it was for a Shanghainese Restaurant.

Located in the ground floor of the mall, i was about to leave for home.

But this newly opened (just 3 days since opening when i came) restaurant looks interesting,

so we stopped for snacks and take away.

First impression was good, the interior was nice as it can be seen here:

then it was time to order.

drink was first, and they boast on bubble tea drink.

the menu was cute! divided to two: mocktail and cocktail. 

waiter didn't really know the menu well, as he keeps making mistake when i asked on the drinks.

i end up ordering Tai Chi Master. mix of fruit and tapioca bubble.

here's Tai Chi Master:

overall, i gotta say it wasn't pleasant to wait for an hour for my Shen Jiang Bao after the first unfilling corn soup. as you can see, was too hungry to take the pic. then we found out that they didn't took our order of vege, in which we find furthermore that they sold out. to further surprise us, the bill stated of 2 portions of garlic broccoli that we didn't even order. which later when we waited for the new bill, came this waiter with the broccoli. it was quite stressful, but we managed to laugh through it and it seems that it was only our table that's having this problem.

Anyway, the manager was kindly enough to give us Rp50.000,- voucher for our next visit and apologize for the trouble. Told him it was totally understandable but they need to fix these things coz the food was GOOD. The Shenjiangbao is the closest one i could ever found to the BaoZi and street pancake in Beijing. the filling was superb, the skin was super thin sort of crispy soft version of normal Chinese Bao. the drink was refreshing tho a tad too sweet for me. I also brought home their beef horFun and requested for it to be packed in this box that the menu showed, in which the manager kindly approved:

So, will i get back to this place? Sure! I'm actually quite interested to taste their food. I believe there's heaps of good food in this place. They just need to work in the same wavelength i think, and i believe they'll learn to get used to it. Hopefully, everything will be settled by then and i can use my voucher with a very happy face and tummy.
