Jaya One Eateries Review : Sun Wong

Another week, another eatery. This time around, we have decided to try Sun Wong, a Hong Kong style restaurant. What they serve is usually what you see in Kim Gary or Wong Kok.

The restaurant is located atg the back of Jaya One, near the parking entrance facing UTAR. If you are entering from the main road you would miss the restaurant. After passing by the place countless time going to the carpark, we decided to give this place a shot. When we entered the restaurant, there were only like 3 other tables being served. Didn't bode too well...

The staff are friendly and eager to help. The ambience? Typical Hong Kong style eatery lor... Nothing fantastic, and quite simple.

When we looked at the menu, we were surprised at the prices they charged. Its cheaper and Kim Gary, Wong Kok, et al. We ordered the fried rice, honey pork rib rice, thick toast with peanut butter, boxing chicken. For drinks, we ordered, the sea coconut with longan and shaved ice and the iced milk tea.

The food arrived pretty fast (since there weren't many customers anyway). The head waitress/manager was pretty friendly, checking on us to see if the food and service was good.

The food is good. Fried rice is better than a lot of places i've tried (but if you hate mixed vegetables, you should avoid this). The pork rib rice was also nice, not too sweet and the portions just nice. The boxing chicken is good, but not great, missing some seasoning for that extra little flavour or shall i say "kick". The toast was huge, but unfortunately, i ate it a bit too late (stupid me for eating it last), and as such, the taost had already cooled down and it became very stiff and hard to chew. And with the generous amounts of peanut butter, my jaws had to work overtime to chew it.

The tea was "kau" enough for me. as for the seacoconut drink, if you dont like it with lemon, you might not enjoy it as much as some ppl will argue that the lemon will overpower the sea coconut taste in the drink.

Overall, i think this is the place with the best food so far. Shame on the rest for having such nice decor but poor food.

Ambience: 6/10
Taste: 7.5/10
Service 7/ 10.


Boodyboy, Out!!!
