PhongMun Restaurant

Had to run an errand as usual, so managed to secure a lunch date with my friend and he recommended this place called PhongMun Restaurant

This be the signboard and entrance of the restaurant. It's located within the downtown complex named Teck Guan Plaza where they sell DQ ice-cream at the ground floor, in which you have to take the elevator instead of the escalator to the first floor (or was it second?) because if you take the escalator, it'll lead you to some place else and you won't find it. Like some sort of a hidden floor or whatever. LOL!




This be some of the interiors and decors within the restaurant. It has a very authentic Chinese restaurant feel to it, almost like Lucky Restaurant, just a bit more posh, and the setting looks amazing. My friend suggested that this place should've been my wedding reception, but then again we've already booked the place and everything, so it's a bit of a last minute, or more like too late, to make any changes. Ah, too bad. It looked pretty suitable though


More trigger-happy moments on the stuff on our table


No Chinese-eating restaurant (OK, that just came out wrong) is complete without starting off with Chinese tea. Tastes alright, not too strong but not too bland either. Though I was hoping to have tea stalks in there because apparently if there are signs of standing upright tea stalks, it'll mean good luck for the day. I'm a bit of a sucker for superstition, sue me


I ordered kuey tiaw with egg and prawn, and it looks almost like those pataya rice, but with prawn and instead of rice, it's wet kuey tiaw. It tastes pretty interesting, and the prawns are quite fresh actually. It's almost like eating wa tan ho, just lesser seafood and the egg is, well, visible instead of as a sauce


My friend ordered pork chop with rice. It looks tasty, though I didn't try it. Something about that texture tells me it could be crunchy but sinfully oily at the same time somehow

My two-cents on this restaurant. My hubby was surprised to hear that this place still exists, but apparently it stood against the test of time, and has pretty satisfying meals, though I am curious as to how their dim sum tasted, but at the time, we didn't really have the craving or the need to try it. Maybe I will the next time I go there and who know, I might make a reprisal piece
