Moi Lum is a family-style Cantonese restaurant that has a long history. They have several specialty dishes which I'll highlight later. If you are planning to eat your dinner after 6pm, it's safer to make a reservation as the staff was initially hesitant to give us a table at 530pm despite the restaurant having only one table occupied.
Fried Salmon Skin with Salted Egg
Really crispy and a sensible amount of salted egg seasoning. Would highly recommend this as a starter. Price is acceptable.
Pork Belly wrapped with Lettuce
I forgot what the actual name is but this is basically pork wrapped with lettuce. The meat wasn't overly fat but I wasn't particularly fond of the sweetish sauce. A decent choice if you like pork though.
Forgot the name and the dish was so-so. Although it's alright if you don't want to overload on meat.
"legendary" Crispy Fried Chicken (Signature Dish)
Easily lives up to its name. The skin was crisp but the meat still remained succulent enough. One of the better roasted chickens around.
Strangely reminds me of a fusion between luncheon meat (not necessarily a bad thing) and a quiche. This is really good, as the dish is extremely flavorful. I feel that the density of the "coin" emphasizes the strong flavor and makes the dish seem to be of a higher quality (than if it was less dense).
General Comments:
Quite a quaint place where you can enjoy authentic Cantonese cuisine. I'm generally a fan of Chinese food and this place did not disappoint. Prices were pretty decent as well. Be sure to try the signature dishes. If I recall correctly, the charge for tea is on the high side (which sort of explains why the staff religiously kept refilling our teacups.)
