The newest restaurant to open in Greenhills - Lugang Cafe. This Taiwanese restaurant is still at their soft opening, which meant that things are still not perfect. There is a strong smell of paint inside and construction-like dust on the staircase. The design on the front door was like a dungeon, which was quite amusing. From the outside, the restaurant seemed ordinary - much like a warehouse. Once you step inside though, the interior was simple but elegant.
For appetisers, we had Boneless Hainanese Chicken, Xiao Long Bao with Crab and Shrimp & Pork Dumpling. These dishes were all good. We especially liked it that the dumplings had soup in them. For the main course, we had Shrimp Cantonese Style, Sizzling Black Pepper Beef, Three Cup Chicken and Pineapple Rice. All of these dishes tasted good. The only thing we noted was that the beef and chicken were a bit salty. Although they were meant to be eaten with rice. Our drinks were Iced Fruit Tea and Hot Pearl Tea. Note: The Hot Pearl Tea is literally hot Lipton tea (no sugar) with sago and it didn't match expectations.
The service was good, the waiters were all attentive. Our overall rating? GOOD.
