The service was memorable, the food wasn't. Gosh, has it been that long ago, 1997? How's the family? <br /><br />Mrs Ddaisydesouzanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787347.post-51530735762894457272009-05-23T13:01:43.888+10:002009-05-23T13:01:43.888+10:00Lol am I the only one who still likes Flower Drum?...Lol am I the only one who still likes Flower Drum? I think the service is great, dammit! And I like the old-fashioned food. I feel very uncool now, haha.<br /><br />But if it's cheaper and has the same food, then I def want to go to Lau's family kitchen.<br /><br />Thanh - I soooo want to go to Quan Jude!! As soon as my throat gets better and I can eat oily food again. :D<br /><br />xox SarahSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00261274546097701065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787347.post-29503415460798116542009-05-23T09:54:58.378+10:002009-05-23T09:54:58.378+10:00I agree with Sandra and Ed too.

The food isn't pushing the boundaries as much as other restaurants and playing it very safe.<br /><br />If you like the pancakes for the Peking Duck at Flower Drum, wait till you try the pancakes for the Peking Duck at Quan Jude. That is another step up.thanh7580https://www.blogger.com/profile/12101572834580539226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8787347.post-5431360679916040582009-05-22T09:29:51.350+10:002009-05-22T09:29:51.350+10:00Sandra, is right about the FD.

The food was fresh and of course very yummy, but in general it's nothing you can't get at a decent, normal priced, Chinese restaurant. Don't get me wrong, there is no doubt about the quality of the food, the quantity or the service, everything was excellent. I just think that if I'm after good Chinese food, I would never consider going to Flower Drum, even if I had the money for it. I wouldn't even go there for a special occasion. It is "just" Chinese food after all and there are so many places that I love that make that type of food. If I'm spending big bucks on a meal I'd prefer to go to a non-Asian (French, for example) restaurant.Sandranoreply@blogger.com
